Come on guys, enough is enough. Yeah he's not played well recently but arguably you could throw a few others into that category; JBG, Cousins, Fox... I don't hear them being singled out for the same derisory, sarcastic jeers.
Ultimately they're professionals and paid handsomely but they're human and just like you or I, aren't always at the top of their game every time. Lay off him, maybe get behind him and you might just be responsible for giving him the encouragement he needs to shake off this bad spell.

But if he's not good enough then that isn't his fault. It's the fault of the people who brought him in and who pick him.
I gave him a chance, didn't get on his case after a few games. But i've seen enough....................... He's hopeless.
We all want to get out of this situation that we currently find our club in and yes the majority if not all of fans are not happy right now no matter what Katrien says, but the only way we are going to stay in this league is by sticking together. People on here have spoken about fans sticking together and forming protests etc.... to get our Charlton back (which I am all for), but surely that should also be the same for the players that currently wear our shirt?
Yes some of them may simply not be good enough, (there are a few that I would put into this category), but they are here now and there is nothing we as fans can currently do about that until either they are sold or replaced with new additions. Not many of our first team players have been consistently good this season and I haven't seen any performance that would suggest that Mak doesn't care, the effort seems to be there so I'm a little bemused as to why he is seen as the scape goat?
At the end of the day goals win you matches and its strikers jobs to score them goals. Most strikers success rate depends on confidence and luck and big Mak just doesn't seem to have either at the moment. Maybe its just me, but I think we really should all be showing support and trying to build his confidence back up as we need as many goals as possible right now.
..............and he is in the team ahead of TW !! Good grief.
Yesterday, i spent 14 hours at work, had 5 hours sleep, then back in today for another 13 hours of bloody stressful work. Why? Because its my job. If i cock up, laps or simply give up, i know i will be in deep doo do and not get my managers say never mind, better luck tomorrow.
He simply needs to do his job and score or help others score by kicking/heading a ball for 90 minutes. If he cant do it, then dont do it.
Sure he might not be as talented a footballer as we'd like, but jeering is never going to improve that. He might not always put in as much effort as we'd like, but ironic cheers are only going to hack him off, not motivate. Just what we're our fans trying to achieve?
(admittedly none of them came to much, but that's not necessarily his fault)
We have a history of it.
Makienok had one bad game against Ipswich and now he is the new Kishishev, Robinson, Abbot, mooney, McCormack, Francis etc..
Pathetic
A bloke behind me once slagged Keith Jones off just 3 minutes after a game had started. I suggested that perhaps if he got into his seat a bit earlier he could give him grief during the warm up.
Equally one man's Mak, is another man's Fox. Or JJ. Or Sarr. Or Ba. And before you know it virtually every member of the team is having abuse hurled at them from some quarter. If he's substituted then vent your spleen. Or, even better, wait 'til the end of the game.
But if you really think that it helps carry on regardless and post in the "marks thread" how you were going to give him a "2" but, as a result of you booing, he improved to the extent that he earned a "10"!!!
The facebook page is unbelievable. Crude language, threats of violence to players and board members. They are a total embarassment.
I thought and hoped the fans at the ground would be supportive - and we were. But as soon as Bolton scored their first last night the fans went quiet and the players looked nervy. The rest is history.
The treatment of Simon is embarassing - how often do you hear opposition fans slagging off one of their own like that? Slagging off the manager for a substitution when he undoubtedly knows more than joe Public in the stand.
We really do have a part to play. If you don't want to cheer then that's your prerogative. But as my mum always used to say - If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all.
