Time to turn the anger, frustration and bitching into noise

Whatever everyone's views (and, yes, personally I like Roland's approach - recognise a problem, do something about it) if we support Charlton then we should be making it known to the 22 players on the pitch, not sitting in silence or venting our frustration. If there are players not doing their bit then that's life (& football) and next season they'll be in the arse end of nowhere but I don't want to watch first division football week in week out ever again. Have that extra pint before the game, shout a bit longer and louder

    you lost me here
    Me too, we won't mention the lack of a 'number 9', decent back up keeper when Hendo got crocked, decent wide man, play maker in midfield and as for communicating / being honest with the fans...........................Oh what's the point, never mind rose tinted, more like blacked out glasses, roll on 3 o'clock.

    I can see you have the best intentions but the opening line was not too thought out!

    What a load of toffee, what has he done about our drop towards relegation? We should have been looking for the best coach, not the cheapest.

    Totally agree, lets get behind the players , starting from today...

    From 1984 George Orwell.

    "We are not content with negative obedience, nor even with the most abject submission. When finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will. We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us; so long as he resists us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him. We burn all evil and all illusion out of him; we bring him over to our side, not in appearance, but genuinely, heart and soul. We make him one of ourselves before we kill him. It is intolerable to us that an erroneous thought should exist anywhere in the world, however secret and powerless it may be. Even in the instance of death we cannot permit any deviation . . . we make the brain perfect before we blow it out."

    And the end of the book (spoiler)

    "He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."

    Our biggest problem is we've invited teams to constantly attach us and the law if averages says if you let them have 20 shots at goal and umpteen corners then they are going to find gaps occasionally and score. This bollox about we need a number 9 isn't the answer. We need a strike force that's going to cause chaos in the oppositions half and pin them back. In Igor and Watt ( w players from the network ?) we might just have that strike force. The other network players we have in the team are all pretty good as well (ok, a goalie that punches the ball when he should catch it might be the exception) and we should be using their strengths, not confining them to the last third of the pitch that we are defending. The manager is to blame if it happens more than once but when a manager first takes over a team it's mostly down to luck (good and bad) how the results go in the first few games. It's what they learn from those games and do about it that counts.

    Why do you want the network team to win? Defeat and relegation defeat for network. And pos quicker route to new owners.

    But somehow, someway I would like Roly to know how much i am beginning to despise him.

    Too right, anybody who spends all that money on sorting out the pitch and bringing in loads of players clearly doesn't appreciate the 'charlton way of doing things'

    Defeat and relegation is also defeat and relegation for the team, and the players like Solly, Cousins, JJ and more who have Charlton in their blood as much as any fan. They were here before Roland and the Network, they have no affliation to his scheme, they are here because they and we want the best for Charlton. You cannot seriously expect anyone to take you seriously if you're truly advocating wishing for defeat.

    So we didn't need to replace Yann with a similar type of hold up player, really? Then you must be one of the few that thinks Igor getting a battering every week this season, which in no small part has contributed to his lack of fitness, has been a good idea. And why do you think we invite teams on? Because we don't have anyone upfront for an out ball, to give the midfield and defence a chance to move upfield! Unbelievable Jeff!

    Remove Duchatalet by any means. I can't believe those that go along and cheer on his team. Selfishness beyond belief.

    Don't agree about the plaudits awarded by you to Duchatelet, but you're right about the fans getting behind the players, as difficult as that might be for many given the current climate of despair and near revolution.

    I'm not cheering on his team, I'm cheering on my team. If you cannot see the difference, that's a true shame. Frankly, wanting players like Wiggins, Solly, Cousins, Jackson and more to fail because of the ego of a man they don't know and have no more influence over than any of us (and arguably even less) is far more selfish to me, but it takes all sorts.

    If the anger is explicitly for Roland or Katrien, why do we not have songs to voice this? Is there an anti-Roland song?
