Freak Week

AddickFC81AddickFC81
in General Charlton
Yes it's turning into a bad season but 0-5 and 0-6 in the same week is exceptionally rare and it is something we won't see anything like it for many many many if at all because it's so rare. Sure we will lose two games in a week much sooner but it won't be by both of them being by such heavy scorelines. Does it make what happened this week more acceptable? Of course not. But even by this season's standards I can't see anything like this week happening for a very long time.

    One thing I have learned supporting Charlton, especially this season, is never to assume what you have just experienced is the nadir. I hope it is, but ...

    I'll bookmark this thread and ask you to re-evaluate after the inevitable hattrick Rhodes will score next weekend!

    Just wondering/hoping that we have hit rock bottom!!!! Players need to make sure it is
  • alan dugdalealan dugdale
    Why can't it happen again ? We're in the bottom 3, the players have no confidence and are either too young and inexperienced or just not good enough. We were getting done 3-0 every week when they still had a bit of confidence !

    I'm saying we won't get back to back 0-5 and 0-6 again for ages.

    If we get two thrashings like this in a week anytime I will wear a bruka.

    In the Saturday to Saturday we lost to The team who had conceded the most goals in the league(cup game) and were 23th in League 1.
    Before we were hit by the Yorkshire H-bomb from the Udders and Ull.

    conceding 5 and 6.

    You are implying that things can't get any worse on the field !

    Are we not at 6's and 7's on and off the pitch ?

    And I'm saying, don't bet against it !

    What's the odds on 0-7 next week to complete the sequence?

    Who exactly are you trying to convince about this?

    Personally I think such heavy losses are not just freaks but the logical result of mismanagement on an industrial scale. There is a reason we have conceded 11 goals this week.

    If Riga can turn this around it may not be immediate and given that the circumstances leading to this terrible week are fundamentally the same, (even to the appointment of a network Manager) and that we are trying to sell our best players, I think there is every possibility of further heavy defeats.

    Freak week, at the moment, would be us winning!

    I Agree :wink: and we had those weeks (albeit international break In between) against Brum and the Wendies.

    To any stato out there have we ever lost two games in a row 5-0 and 6-0 and following being dumped out the cup by lower league opposition ? What a week !

    Not saying the Swedes don't make some quality items that are often very practical things, but I reckon some of these will clash with your match day casuals.

    Only Charlton could beat a side 6-4 and then lose 6-4 to that very same side in the very next match
  • E_cafcE_cafc
    In the 1975-76 season we lost consecutive league games 0.5 at Bolton and 0.4 at Bristol City. During the midweek there was a 1.1 draw at QPR in the League Cup.

    Definitely worth a bet, as he is for first/last scorer. He will shortly be approaching Thierry Henri's goal record against us.

    Pretty long, I reckon, because I don't think that game would get to 90 minutes!
    So you reckon the game will be abandoned then?

    In isolation, this could be seen as a freak week. But it is not. It's been coming for some time and is the end result of months, if not longer, of decline, mismanagement, and flawed thinking. The side's wafer-thin remaining fight ended at Colchester (with a few honorable exceptions) and was non-existent at Huddersfield and Hull. That depth of rot cannot be turned round overnight, even by the best of managers let alone the best of the network alternatives. It takes time, and we are running out of it.

    Not CAFC, but I recall as a kid Brighton, when Brian Clough was manager, losing 4-0 to non-league Walton & Hersham in the FA Cup and following that up with an 8-2 home loss to Bristol Rovers and a 4-1 defeat at Tranmere. And they stayed up, so perhaps there is hope.

    But then again, Jose Riga, love him or not, is not Brian Clough.

    0-6 is 250/1, can't get odds for 0-7! Blackburn to win by 4+ goals is only 14/1!
