Just an Honest opinion….
I’ve been back in blighty now since end of 2011, and been going back to the Valley albeit not as a regular, as work dictates that I am 100 miles away from SELondon, since Jan 2012. I’ve been to probably about 15 home games in that time and prob about 7 away games.
Just being honest here, but I cant say I’ve really enjoyed our performances that much – now, I know what you are thinking , and probably about to say, in that ffs we got over 100 points last season. But, being honest,we didn’t play very good football in that time – and we certainly aint playing very good football this season. I certainly don’t see any difference in the way we play now as to the way we played in the latter half of last season (generally hoofball).
Now, BryanKinsie came out with a very good comment earlier tonight..
‘This would have been an ok season if we had won a cup game, a local derby and half a dozen home games. What the f*ck do we go for? To watch hoof ball and to "stay up" in the Championship? If that's all we aspire to what's the point?’
Which sortta sums it all up for me.
I am just really concerned that supporters might be getting the 'ump with all this and deciding to part with their well-earned money elsewhere next season rather than put up with all this rubbish that’s dished for them every other week. For example, I get home tonight, and my 18 year old turns round to me and says ‘ I don’t want to go next time’.
I don’t want to say it ,as I love CP, but maybe a change in management might be the way forward – as I cant see that another season of this turgid shite is going to 1) be acceptable or 2)keep us in the league next season or certainly 3) Entice my son (and this is very important to me, as its mine and his heritage-I want him to come to the Valley with his kids when I am sitting in The great Valley in the sky) to come back and keep the Charlton line going.
Just an honest opinion.

Its just not enjoyable to watch.
Don't get me wrong I love charlton, but I work hard for my money, I don't want to sit through 90 minutes of complete dross, watching us get outplayed every week even when we somehow do end up winning.
I honestly would be happy if we lost but attempted to play proper stylish football but for the last two and abit years of watching charlton there must have been a couple of games were I have been impressed by the way we have played , no more.
One game that springs to mind from last year was colchester away were we played great football.
I'd rather be swimming along midtable in the championship waiting for our chance than to be back down in League 1.
You say in this league? But were you really impressed by the passing game we had last year?
I honestly don't agree with the fact we have to spend money to attempt to play good football.
Did brighton spend loads when they were in league 1? Always remembered them playing nice football
Who the f*** do you think can do better, absolutely clueless some people are
Take a little look on you tube at our goals from aug 11 to jan 12. Our goals say it all.
Saying we didnt play nice football last year is total pants
I don't care if we're not Barcelona or whatever people seem to want us to aspire to (Swansea?) because I genuinely love the majority of our team. Jackson, Kermorgant, Solly, Morrison, Wiggins, Pritchard etc are the most likeable and hard working bunch of players we've had in years and in all honesty I don't care if we don't ever make an FA cup semi final in my life time... or if we end up finishing just above the relegation zone in the Championship for the rest of my life... because I'd rather watch these type of players, who on the most part seem to genuinely care, than the likes of Marcus Bent or any other mercenary we could get in to "improve" our style of play. Not to mention the manager, who in my eyes is Curbs.v2 and I wouldn't swap him for anyone.
I cannot understand anyone who questions the teams effort. We have a team of hard workers and I would take that any day of the week in any division. I would love us to have a bit more quality and be able to play attractive attacking football but I didn't start following Charlton because of our style of play and I certainly won't stop following them because of it.
What they got were a L1 team on L1 wages that played effective football and pissed the league with record points.
Now that L1 team is competing (we are 14th) in the championship with minimal strengthening on a dogshit pitch and people question the football being played??? I don't know what you are expecting!! I'd love to see us knock it about and create chances through good football but I just don't think it's possible with the players CP has at his disposal. He can't be blamed for that in my eyes as I think he's been let down in terms of funds for strengthening. He's doing a decent job with what he's got.
