This site really is becoming a place to slate our team. I don't regularly post, but I read charlton life every day but am beginning to get fed up with all the negativity coming from supposed 'fans.' I used to enjoy reading this site but at the moment it's truly dreadful.
I don't understand what people are expecting from charlton? We clearly are not in the same situation as the Notts Forests of our league with regards to money. We can only spend what we get in transfer fees. We don't fill our ground. No one knows the full situation with the board. So stability in the league is all we can hope for. We are six games in. Give the boys a chance. Jesus. I pray to god they don't read this site.

Too many people think we can do a Norwich and Southampton hence expectations are unreasonable.
I've said from the time promotion was confirmed that, although as a fan I obviously hope for better, I'll take 21st now.
My gut feel is that staying up is massively vital for our long term health, so we need to speculate to accumulate. As in bring players in to strengthen the central midfield. Pronto.
Everyone just chill!!!
We are finding our feet, however I would imagine Powell is disappointed in the financial issues as we all our.. So in regards to the OP yes me need to stick together but getting beaten every week obviously isn't a lot of fun...
At the end of the day this is a Charlton site, if things aren't going swimmingly on and off the pitch what are you expecting the general tone of the place to be ?
I'm pretty sure that everyone here wants nothing but the best for Charlton Athletic, and sometimes identifying problems is part of that, but come 3pm on a Saturday I'm sure the vast majority of the people here will get behind the boys.
nothing wrong with questioning decisions and justified criticism.
think people really do confuse others being negative cos they are moany bastards with fans that are just trying to talk football.
absolutely agree with what Se9addick says. im completely baffled by CP's selection last night but im still right behind him and the boys when we play.
I do agree with you though.
Don't forget last season with less than 10 games to go, Charlton still had a very healthy lead at the top of the table - yet some people were still saying we were rubbish and would throw away promotion.
When you questioned them - they would tell you they were "Realists" or something.
I guess it's just a question of perspective.
;o)
Nothing wrong with saying that you think something needs switching up after three in a row, very different to booing and poisonous atmosphere at the ground. Think people are entitled to feel a bit frustrated when things aren't working out, and saying so isnt 'not getting behind the team'.
A bit of discussion isnt a bad thing, and once we have a good game people will be full of praise. Its just the other side of the same coin
There is no way to discourage people from posting negative things, as they are just getting it off their chest, what you need to do is counterbalance it with your thoughts, whatever they may be and encourage others to add constructive balanced opinions rather than criticising everyone elses opinion if it is different to yours.
I find if we lose, I read the players marks thread from the people that were there and avoid the majority of other posts as I dont learn anything from sniping and people saying 'sort it out powell' give it a couple of days and the enthusiasm will build for our next game....
complain /moanair their opinions , better they do it on here , than at the match , you have too get it off your chest somehow , better to do it with people you don't really know that have an interest in Charlton.For the record , its early days and i'm not pushing the panic button , we are what we are , hopefully the team and CP will improve as the season goes on , CP is a new Manager at this level . as well as not having the required funds at his disposal , it could take 3 seasons to get to grips with this division , its very competative , and we were spoilt last season.
When we win three on the trot and people talk about how well players are playing, no one moans about positivity.
When we lose three on the trot and people talk about what they think the reason is and what they would like to improve, people moan about negativity.
It's generic forum behaviour.
On the same thread another poster stated that we should never bring someone back to the Club who was previously released on a "free".
Ironic that Green gave the penalty away and that he then produced what has been described by someone at the match as the best performance by a Charlton winger he has ever seen!
As a Charlton supporter I have also been known to swear at games and cheer wildly when we score a goal. As soon as I am at the head of the waiting list for my lobotomy I will request that these inappropriately emotional behaviours are eradicated and then we can sit together in the East stand.
Where's his red card, AFKA !!!!
I did think as I was writing that "you just went too far" but then I had to go into a meeting....
