Quite understandably feelings are running high at the moment with the majority of the abuse here on CL being (rightly) aimed at RD, KM and the current crop of under performing players.
However..
One thing I don't really get is some of the pointless and extremely negative comments regarding Luzon. I've given it some thought and come to the conclusion that the guy (pardon the pun) has taken the job in good faith and I'm am convinced he doesn't deserve some of the abuse he is getting on this site.
Luzon might not be everyone's cup of tea but for gods sake give the guy a chance! I'm pretty sure he doesn't follow CL but what on earth do you think he would make of us lot with all our negative comments and internal bickering?
I say we put the events of the past couple of weeks behind us (at least for the next 24 hours) and give Luzon and his team 100% support tomorrow.
We are Charlton and we are better than this.
COYR!

I'll ring Roland and see if he can send him somewhere sunny for a few months.
I afence with you on that
He has to win (which he tells us he likes to do) to get credibility. In terms of giving him a chance, well what is meant by 'a chance' has differing interpretations.
Honest injun, I'm giving him every chance to show what he's able to achieve with the players he has inherited and will judge him on their actions over the next few games.
If they can lift themselves & produce something positive tomorrow , and then build on that next Saturday at The Valley, I'm happy to give him my vote of confidence.
It will be sunny from 9am to 4pm with the sun out all day.
If i think of any more, will post later.
Nah
Being sent players who are surplus to requirements at Standard is one thing - and obviously very damaging if they are duds - but having a failed ex-Standard coach foisted upon us two and a half months after he was given the boot over there is quite another. The coach/manager is the most important man at any football club and the very real problem for Duchatelet is that his actions suggest a complete subordination of Charlton Football Club's interests. It is certainly not what we signed up for and recent events only serve to support and reinforce the views of those who have, from the outset, been highly cynical about his motives and intentions. The problem, of course, is that a lack of any meaningful communication inevitably breeds a climate of mistrust and further assertions by Peeters of Duchatelet trying to influence team selection are, if true, a further hammer blow to his credibility. What a mess.
In that context, Luzon is really no more than a sideshow and I agree that he shouldn't really be the target for our ire. Let's hope for his sake that he can get a few points on the board, not least against Rotherham next Saturday. Lose that one, and things will really turn very ugly.
It's like starting a new job in an office and all the staff deliberately trying to get you out before you've had a chance to login!
He is tainted by association and the very real suspicion that he's Duchatelet's bitch
