Jesus people - anyone would think we lost!
I haven't read much positive stuff from this weekend just passed yet we won and are 2 points off top spot.
Whilst I acknowledge it was a bad performance I also understand that "winning ugly" is an important part of being successful. Would we have won that game last year or the year before?
Robbie's save could be a really pivotal moment for us.
We need to build on this and in order to do that we as fans need to support our team and stop the ridiculous booing.

we were wank
myself and many others would have hoped for a better performance
obviously we're all delighted about the result but the performance and recent results aren't a good sign
the team will hopefully gel and things will look and get better in the coming weeks
but with the last few years fresh in our minds and our uncanny ability to get the worst out of players what do you really expect, for us to be pulling ourselves off cos we've just fluked a win over notts county ffs
Bizarrely it was so bad it felt like we had lost! Weird
I think we didn't win a game last season where we played as bad as that. I also think we lost games last season where we played better than that. Yet from the player ratings thread I bet you'll see higher scores than loads of those losses last season where we weren't actually that bad.
I thought we were pretty abject but I'm not too concerned. Expectations are a bit lower from a personal point of view, and we're still in a good position after 6 games. We did ok against Bournemouth and played well at Orient. It's going to be an up and down season. We should be pretty used to that as Charlton fans by now (especially the down bit!).

Can't really disagree with that!
Didn't think it was great on Saturday, but have been very surprised to read what appears to be the consensus view tbh.
Do think we need to be patient and see where we are in a month or two. Not to turn it into a Parky debate thread, but if he is sacked this season, I'm convinced there will be doubts about any new manager, whether it's tactics, man management, motivation, coaching or judging a players ability. We're not going to find a manager who has everything, as there aren't many out there even at the top level.
As for booing, there was some at half time wasn't there?
Are you the Real Madrid chairman?
I rarely (if ever) come away from the Valley feeling elated at our slick passing football, numerous chances created, and resounding 5-0 win over the opposition, but to be honest if we win 1-0 every week i couldn't care less how well we actually played. A win is a win.
Spot on.
Consensus is then that most will be happy with ugly 1-0 wins every week, assuming of course we fluke every match, which let's face it, is not a reality. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to win on the back of a very poor performance, especially for a game we should have lost, but we need the team to perform to stand any chance of getting out this division. If we do not perform, attendances will go down, losses will go up, and we will be rooted in this division.
I want to be optimistic but I'm not and never have been since Parky took over.
The whole "sign of a good team" thing that people trot out because they once heard Alan Hansen say it, is bunkum. It's often the sign of a sub-standard opposition and a bit of luck.
The sign of a good side is one that usually wins but on an off day can still grind out a victory.
The sign of a fortunate side is one that hasn't played well for a while then gets a lucky win.
As well a being smacked in the face with the biggest ugly stick in the world.
I thought we started poorly but in the end played superbly aginst the O's and won but i could see cracks i could see pressure being placed on players that was not required.
We lost to a team lower than us after a 3 goal lead not a good sign
We then struggled play wise against Oldham who i thought looked good and put real pressure on us again not playing well but standing up to a real test.
Then came Huddersfield and we were turned over aftera good start but then lost all sense of play and formation
Then we played the daggers with a make shift team and we created chances or more than we had things looked promising.
Exeter away nothing devoid of chances and result
Notts County at home that first 45 mins was shocking i honestly can not remember a half that i had felt so annoyed with the team we was not a team in transition we was not a team trying to Gel. we were not a team. we had no cohesion ,we had no leadership on the pitch, we hade no shape ,we had no spark ,no ideas nothing, thank god the 2nd half improved not much but it did improve our creative plyers tried to create, parky made 2 important changes.
But we have been there before we have seen this lead to an 18 game stretch of gloom
it is only right people are cautious
we have signed a player who scores goals playing a certain way yet in his own words he is having to adapt his play to our style
but what is that style for Benson to score you need to create from wide or through nice passing through the middle
None of that has been on show in the last 2 games and people will say its only 2 games but it is not looking promising
I feel like that tbh Tel. I dont think it is just Charlton as I felt like it when we were in the premiership. After the past few seasons of us falling to where we are, the abysmal world cup performance and the overhyped 2 horse race of the premiership i seem to only be interested in modern football out of loyalty and habit.
Maybe it has gone full circle and maybe a decline and starting again wouldnt be a bad thing in the long run as doesnt seem to be a lot of soul left in the game at the moment.
Where you been?!. . . it's all been on the downturn for at least 4/5 years now.
Every single person I speak to repeats your story though. . . .no-one I know is enjoying it and are just going because it's habit.
I worry about us though....crowds dropping....Im so proud of where we have risen from, I dont want to see us sink to the depths of 4-5000 turning up...maybe Im just worrying about nothing....maybe not....lots of maybes....lol
