I was as apprehensive as anyone when Guy Luzon was named as our new manager but ...... despite doing a good job we have yet to hear his name being sung. Other managers have come in in the past and been welcomed much earlier. How much longer till we show our appreciation to Guy ?

Took the correct decision taking of the hapless Eagles, (which is a much more polite description than I used at half time) for the master craftsman, JBG.
The rest, as they say, is history.
I don't discount what you are saying and I think you are well within your right to be annoyed with the people at the top, but Luzon got plenty of personal stick aimed at him.
Until the U25s sing red AND WHITE army
I don't see any positives in making Luzon feel alienated when he has done nothing wrong. Bringing him into the Charlton "family" as soon as possible will only be a good thing.
Apologies Guy welcome to The Valley
That is a smidgen over 1.5 points per game, which if continued next season will equate to as near as dammit 70 points.
Judging by this season 70 points will not get you into the playoffs, let alone automatic promotion.
The big test for Guy Luzon, if he is happy to stay here, is how to ensure we take a step forward from our present position and not a step back, if he can pull off an improvement from the kind of football team we are now, then we may be in business competitively.
In the spirit of metamorphosis, I would like to think that however it was engineered to get Guy Luzon here, that he has taken to the place, taken to the job, and actually liking it. I admit that with the passage of time, and also in the spirit of metamorphosis that I don't feel as frosty towards Luzon as I used to, and that is despite him not achieving the 80 point target I set him
To my mind the big signal is if the regime of owner, chief executive, and manager can set in place circumstances where we can get more like 1.75 points per game during the long unforgiving season to come.
The platform is there, but it will be a huge disappointment if we see a summer of player churn, and rearranging the furniture in the network house, but not one tightly focussed on the betterment of Charlton Athletic. I would like a flint-eyed forensic approach to building a really credible squad for ourselves alone, for next season, and then to amass the points as ruthlessly as possible.
One thing though, I am a big fan of JBG but yesterday just re-emphasised to me how much he effects the game for us.
