Well Folks, you couldn't get an easier game than us at the moment. We are absolutely shite.
To be fair to Powell, we have sold some talented Players. Although having said that, we weren't much better when they were here so we can't blame that one and we have enough quality on our books not to be where we are.
Expect a defensive approach that involves playing a 4 foot tall Striker up front on his own (Wells, poor Lad hasn't got a hope in hell the amount of chances he doesn't get).
Oh and our defensive approach has one slight flaw, we can't defend.
Insult added to injury being that our strengths Players wise are attacking minded Players who don't get a look in.
We are an absolute shambles with 3 wins out of 24 matches under Powell.
Happy days!.

So 1-1 I think
What sort of form got him the bullet from you Guys?. I bet it isn't as bad as his form with us. Mind you, if you set up to draw a game at best, no surprises when you draw or lose.
Rumour is he has two games, Charlton Away and Bolton at home this week.
Do please remember fine Addicks fans, when no doubt we get lambasted in the press for sacking the lovely bloke that is Chris Powell.
3 wins in 24 matches would see most Managers lose their job at any level.
Doing it now is fair enough if the record is 3 wins in 24.
CAFC fans would never slag off a new manager/head coach so soon
I just had a gut feeling from early doors based on how he set teams up and his pre and post match comments.
Nothing would have pleased me more than to have been so, so wrong.
I am not though and if anything, the reality has been and is much, much worse.
Sure he will get a great reception on Tuesday in what is looking likely to be his penultimate match here.
You saw how bad we were when we had a heavy defeat at your place last season. One of many days out that cost me a significant amount of money for no return in any shape or form.
I would love to be on here saying how pleased I am with how we are playing.
Your post my friend is quite simply not true.
In fairness though, I doubt if CP's record with us was anywhere near as bad as what you are enduring right now; we were having a bad run at that time, but the real reason for him being sacked was his refusal to pick players that had been imposed on him by the owners. Many (not all) of us on here felt he had enough about him to get us up the table when he was sacked.
Maybe he isn't as good a coach as we were hoping he would be. I can't really wish him all the best for Tuesday, but I do hope things work out for him whether it is with Huddersfield or not.
His inability to pick attacking minded Players and use of substitutes (or lack of) is as bad as any I have ever seen. Seriously.
We set up with 7 defensive minded Players and have exciting talent sat on the bench (at best) that can win us matches.
His family are also still down South thus all round it was just the wrong appointment for all parties.
We act now and we may have a chance of avoiding the drop.
Trouble is we don't have this season shite like Millwall, Blackpool and Wigan as they were last season to save us.
The longer he stays then we are doomed.
Oh and our worst start to a season for 18 years. The hits just keep rolling..........
The stats speak for themselves.
Our recent football league form I think can only be topped by the basket case that is Blackpool FC. Say no more.
PS I agree with KK's point
