I'm honestly very surprised with the Powell love in , did you lot watch the same game as me, I'm very embaressed and disappointed !
There's no Powell love in today. Not a single person has said anything in support of him in this match, it's just most people are intelligent enough to realise that if the players show as little effort and determination as they did today it doesn't matter if you have Jose Mourinho or Donald Duck as manager, you won't come away with a result. By just blindly blaming the manager you let the players get off scot-free, and they should not be allowed that today
So it's all the players fault , which suprises me when most teams lose they Blame the manager , but we're different ?
Who is on the pitch? Other fans blaming managers means nothing.
Do you honestly think that group of players playing like that would've won under any other manager/formation? Half of them were dreadful (and playing in their proper positions).
Yes I really do and most people are deluded if you think more experienced managers wouldn't get more out of this team !
Didn't realise Church would suddenly turn into a 30 goal a season man and Jackson suddenly turn 25 if Warnock took over! My mistake!
What formation would you go with then? What magic formation would solve all of our problems? It must be obvious if Powell is so clueless for missing it.
Haha who mentioned warnock but if we wanna speak about formations we had a very good centre mid playing right wing ???
You'd prefer Danny Green?
I don't agree with Cousins there either, but leaving the entire right side of midfield blank is stupid. Tudgay + Reza cannot play midfield so that's a non-starter. AA is a CM, same with Jackson.
I genuinely don't think I've read a more stupid post in the history of CL.
please enlighten me why?
Right... well, just to be clear, I read your comment as being irony free. Which means I can take it word for word. 'A new manager always does the trick'.
These are the first managers that sprang to mind, that led me to think your comment was ridiculous.
Henning Berg Michael Appleton René Meulensteen Felix Magath Pepe Mel David Moyes (!)
Or how about our own, recent history:
Les Reed Phil Parkinson Alan Pardew
Which of those guys proves your rule? Or do you think these are the exceptions?
Today I blame the players. Every single one bottled it.
I don't think Jackson bottled it at all ?
I'm sorry, I know a great many fans are in love with him but Jackson was anonymous. Quick free kick aside, this was the man who captained the team and like Powell, is meant to get them up for the game. He's been giving all the talk about being the last of generation to grow up watching the cup, his last chance to play at Wembley. He's slow. His goals like the winner against QPR are too few and far between these days. Playing him leads to a very unbalanced midfield, players playing out of position to accommodate him. He did bottle it today and he's another tired peg in Powell's overly cautious tactics book.

Ok - apologies, I've been pounding through more threads than usual. Gotten a little riled by the amount of negatives, I thought you were one of them in my haste. I take it back. I take it all back.
Interesting to see what andy ansah put on twitter @MrAndyAnsah: To my fellow #Charlton fans there is disappointment from today's loss. The truth will surface behind it. I won't say no more.

no offence taken Jimmy its been a long day - i was actually quite proud of having posted the stupidest comment ever on Charlton Life - that is an amazing achievement

Seems very ominous...
Unless its something like Charlton players unable to sleep at the hotel or something dumb like that.
Oh dear. 3 or 4 nil would not have flattered them. YK type football only no one to aim at. Panic buttons were pushed all through the team. Powell to blame? Who knows.
I don't post a huge amount, but I do visit this site enough to wonder who the f*** all these people are that come out of the woodwork for a post-defeat moan.

Very disappointing result but predictable - Sheffield United have been on an excellent run. Not the end of the world but I agree that Powell has to improve his tactics and sometimes his team selection. He still has a lot learn but generally I think he has done OK. Basically he is dealing with a group of players who are just not good enough and I would have said that before Stephens and Kermogant left. The Club was complacent after the good end to last season (which was rather fluky) and the playing squad should have been addressed in the summer. Looking forward a new manager might liven things up and kick a few backsides but I can't think of anyone we could afford who would be better than Powell. Warnock is not the answer in the long term and I don't think he'd be a lot better than CSP.

There was far worse players on that pitch today then Jackson ..
Some understandable harsh words from those that have travelled far and have spent heavily. I could say that in the cold light of day you feel understandably peeved. In time that may recede. But after that boneless performance it's hard to know where we go from here. It's starting to feel like that we'll be dragging our heels in league one and still the faithfull will say we'll come good in a minute. Things need to change and bloody quick too. I trust Powell. I love Powell. But unfortunately I love Charlton a little bit more.

Also your comment doesn't make sense ?
Me like I'm sure other people presume that by "bottled it" it's a player pulling out of tackles , not giving it there all , not willing the team on , lazy etc
Your questioning jackson ability to score goals ? So your judgement ( mainly incorrect ) is that he's not good enough ? Not that fact that he bottled it because he didn't , "bottled it " is completely different to "not scoring enough goals "
Jackson worked his arse off today. , maybe he didn't have his best of games but I'll always back someone that puts his all into a our shirts
If anyone honestly thinks he bottled it then football fans are far thicker then what I thought

You really don't have to look too hard to see that this couldn't be further from the truth.
I don't agree with Cousins there either, but leaving the entire right side of midfield blank is stupid. Tudgay + Reza cannot play midfield so that's a non-starter. AA is a CM, same with Jackson.
ummmm. my original post ...
Barry Ferguson - breath of fresh air for Blackpool after Ince. New manager - always does the trick
The guy who said it was stupid, obviously didn't understand the first bit...so cut it out.
Please don't lump me in with the Powell Out brigade.
I genuinely don't think I've read a more stupid post in the history of CL.

DLT - we should do what Sheff U did & get a new coach
Oakster - yes look at Barry Ferguson at Blackpool - a new manager always does the trick
just to make it even clearer BF has earned Blackpool 3 points out if a possible 24 since becoming their manager.
Do you really think I would use BF as an example if I wanted to back up DLT's assertion or was I being ironic.
The choice is yours.

He would have some idea about what's going on behind the scenes.
