Bearing in mind we have also been managed by Curbs, Parky and Powell, to be easily the worst ever Charlton manager at understanding how to use subs is quite some achievement.
It's weird isn't it. It's like he has the same approach to football as our owners have. Roland thinks he can change the way it's run; don't pay other teams for players where possible, use a network, buy cheap and buy young. Karel thinks the same way about tactics. It's like he sits there thinking that there's no logical reason why a left back can't be a right midfielder or why a striker can't cover his full back. He seems to think he can re-invent the game and just chuck players around wherever he wants. It's genuinely embarrassing, like letting your grandma loose on the pause line-ups screen of Fifa. What did we have at the end, a centre half, a utility player and a left back in a three at the back situation and everyone else more or less freestyling?
There are 1800 fans who had to take that down there. Karel ought to apologise to each one individually.
He will though, be full of excuses, or even worse say something like 'this time folks I hold my hand up, I got it wrong'. This time.
It will be more like "It was a game and it had to be played. And the board know and I know. And we played it. We made the decisions we knew had to be made, and we made them, and it was made."
seems to me like it's more of some bizarre coaching excercise, or, worse, able to say players can play in more than one position and bump their asking prices up
he has not got a clue and I honestly believe the players do not have a clue what they are suppose to be doing, the guy switched Regan Cooke around the pitch so much it was laughable.
So who played in central midfield when Jordan came off for Igor? Was it Poyet and Moussa? Was it a 4-1-3-2 with Moussa, Reza, and CC as the three? I don't understand.
Also, how many matches in a row have we had to make a forced substitution due to injuries? I'm not one who thinks that injuries are down to the manager necessarily, but it seems to happen every match for us, particularly in the first half.

Maybe km is waiting until he knows where all the players should be playing before getting rid of the 'interim' tag!
Never liked clowns myself, never found them funny.

Wtf was that?
Towards the end it honestly looked like 2-2-2-4
Player mutiny and self organisation would probably help.
