Out of all the London clubs at this time in all leagues,we must be the best performing team and yet how much time do we get on a Saturday 2min if we're lucky and not even much of a disscusion after,even some of the press is an after thought on the bottom of the page,some midweek games don't even get a report.
Now this is a manager who is managing a club for the first time and considering all the disscusions regarding not enough black managers in all leagues,surely Colin Powel deserves to be more than just a few lines or 2min in match of the day.
If Arsenal had brought in a manager like Colin, gone on a 11 match unbeaten run and 5pts clear we wouldn't hear the last of it,I know Charlton haven't always liked the publicity,but if we are to change peoples image about The Addicks,perhaps that needs to change. Perhaps we could do an Arsenal and go all season unbeaten..now that would make people sit up and take notice.
Well done lads this far,I have never felt so good about a Charlton side since the early Curb days,long may it continue.

Credit wher Credits due.
The pitch has been very good.
Let's be honest most football fans don't care about us while we're sloshing around in this tinpot league except teams in it.
I don't know any brentford fans 1 orient fan and that's about it from this league
When we were in the premiership and championship my viewings of this crap league would be limited to watching the goals on fast forward if millwall had lost or an ex charlton player had scored in it
I definitely wouldn't have been looking at the table apart from every so often
We're doing we'll in the 3rd tier it's that simple
I mean without looking who knows who is top of the 4th or conference, I have no idea
And I watch a lot of football but I'm not really interested in lower league chuff
Ohhaah is correct, but a little OTT.
....but it's still got to be mowed! ;o)
Charlton appeared once a year on the box; occasionally a decent radio report if we were having a rare season when we were doing well; a couple of paragraphs in the Sunday paper - but if you wanted decent coverage you had to wait until the Kentish Independent or the Mercury came out on a Thursday. Mate, that was it.
But does it really matter? Even in our Premiershit days we were plucky little Charlton when we beat one of the big boys (who always had a bad day, but never credit to Charlton for outplaying them). Otherwise, Charlton were a brief afterthought.
Now we have the internet, there's no shortage of Charlton news and opinion if you know where to look.
We're top of the pile, and Chris Powell is doing so well, perhaps it's okay to be out of the spotlight?
One Aim.
Fairly minimul media coverage goes with the territory I'm afraid A4e....it's all part of the 'punishment' and all round awful experience of being relegated to the lower leagues, we all more or less knew this would happen....it's not pleasant but there we are.
In fact there are some pretty significant clubs in our league who have bigger fan basses and attendences than those in the two leagues above us but who also receive scant coverage.
The best and indeed only way to 'move the goal posts' is to get promoted back to where you deserve to be...........Simples!!!
Why, A4E, do you think that others should be paying attention to us if you can't even pay attention?! Sorry to sound like a schoolmaster but you sound like a right wally.
