Christ I heard nothing negative for 87 minutes and then 2 goals in a couple of minutes and suddenly everything is Powells fault again. Wouldn't have been any complaints if we had sneaked a win or got a point. Just so so unlucky.
I almost got a stiff, i didnt, my mrs is still pissed off regardless that i was unlucky

Very difficult for him. Sounded like we had two problems today. 1) we were exposed down the flanks. 2) we couldn't hold the ball up and although Sordell and Reza looked a bit more of a goal threat they kept losing possession.
Yann might have helped with no. 2, but with Green and Harriott neither in form or reliable defensively, he put out the diamond. A perfectly reasonable decision as he's tried the square pegs n round holes thing recently and it hasn't worked. We knew we'd be faced with these sues though as soon as no midfielders came in yesterday.
Maybe the first sub should have been to bring Church on and see if he could have more of an impact holding it up, he's played okay as a lone striker before. In some ways adding Dervites height made sense as they had a lot of corners etc but it just sends out the message that we're going to sit and let you have the ball. It's a massive gamble, looks tactically astute when it works and foolish when it doesn't. I think he could have made subs today that had half an eye on in seeing it out but also gave us a better chance of wrestling back and retaining some possession. We probably still would have conceded eventually but it wouldn't look so much like we'd surrender the castle walls and retreated to the keep.
The end result is the same, but fans come away saying at least we and that always moderates most of our reactions, some people want to see it as Powell's fault whatever happens so they'll only pipe down if we win.
Days like this will only accelerate CP's sacking, something it desperately don't want to see, but I fear for him at the moment and suspect he might be gone by next week.
Sorry, but every time he brings on Dervite to shore up the defence, the other team get invited to attack us further, we go deeper and get caught out - I'm pissed off - TAXI FOR POWELL - that's it for me.
Just checked & that is completely untrue - first time it has happened this season
I never said just this season - others posting the same so wind your neck in

Dervite has always had the turning circle and acceleration of a cross channel ferry.... I think Powell however much he loves Charlton is making same mistakes over and over. I never thought I d say it but I think we need new leadership ,the team he built has gone as a force (in L1 anyway)

Whatever, I know I'm right as I've been at the games. You have a nice evening enjoying another avoidable defeat.
Its bye bye Powell people, Roly will sack him this evening I think he is going to want to to protect his outlay by bringing in his own man imo of course.

I don't enjoy the defeats - I'm sure you don't either - but there a lot that seem to do
This forum is never so busy as when there is a chance to stick the boot into Powell & RD's team
Deja vu. I sometimes wonder if people who post on here have ever been to a football match.
Why, that's just a cop out buckshot answer without substance!! Are you happy for us to sit deep with 6 in our box inviting pressure? I don't think the chairman is and this will probably cost Powell his job on monday
Pritchard is a second division standard footballer, how powell thinks he is better than Hollands ill never know.
Pritch can play on the right Hollands can't. Pritch was good for us last season, Hollands wasn't.
Pritchard has been awful this season though.
The question was why does Powell think Pritch is better than Hollands.
He's got no one else to pick today. Bringing on Pritch was perfectly reasonable as Wigan were getting too much space on the flanks and we needed someone who could play on the right with some defensive responsibility.
Only really two options, Pritch or Cousins. He got pelters mid week for playing Cousins there and now he's getting Pelters for playing Pritch there. He can't win unless it wins the game, but the chances of that are slim because he's working with players that aren't good enough.
I'm not blindly defending everything Powell does, but you have to bare in mind what he has to work with, and today it was not a lot. On Saturday it'll be Wilson there as it would have been today had he not got himself sent off on Tuesday which, again, you can't hold Powell responsible for.

Of course I don't - I go to all home and around 75% of away games so I'm entitled to criticise... The reasons we lose are often the same - negative subs which invite on the other team and we concede - I'm just saying I'm fed up, I've had enough and , for the first time, the instigator needs to be held to account - I don't see him changing so, time up for me - it would be ANY manager, it's not personal to CP - I've met him and enjoyed the time with him but, it doesn't mean I can't have an opinion.

Green could have been used on the right and told to actually move the ball forward and out of our half. It's a crazy idea I know.

We have given away loads of late goals by sitting back under Powell, Sheffield w and Cardiff last year. Brighton and others this year. Yes we have held out at times but we invite pressure from 70 mins in week in week out.
I would love Powell to stay and get him help with an experienced no 2 but unfortunately I think he is a gonna

As I said - defensive responsibility, that rules Green out. He's just another League 1 player who won't make any real difference cos he's not good enough.

Thanks for your support - people have to be honest.
BigAndyCAFC can you provide the evidence for that please?
Not just yet... I remember Brum, Owls off the top of my head - there are a few others - too fed up to think
Yeah Owls - Dervite coming on in the 73rd minute, why didn't he stop their equaliser in the 56th - every time!!
Last season we were one up v Owls , went deep with a Dervite sub and lost 2-1 with both goals in the lady 8 mins - by Lita I think - this season they equalised when we went deeper and deeper, again. CP has no idea how to stop it

Not the substutions but the lack of balls to stand up to RD and refuse to play Thuram in goal. He caused loads of unnecessary pressure by his flapping and inability to catch a ball.
And before I get the how do u know RD told him to play Thuram, if he hasn't been forced to pick him then he should leave due to his lack of judgement. Aln
