I've just sat through an absolute disgrace. We weren't up for it from the kick off, apart from Harriott who gave everything.
We were clueless apart from Harriott who was a constant danger.
Our two other main threats did not start. Sanogo who was so unfit to play that he was dancing around doing a jig at the end of Saturday's game & Lookman who was so unfit he's been stuck on the bench for a while.
It was a MUST win game and we didn't play either of our biggest threats.
Compounding this, when it was obvious after 5 mins, that we posed no threat, Riga did nothing about it.
When we were almost resigned to not winning, Riga brings on Sanogo and takes off our best player by a country mile Callum Harriott.
Finally, when he could be reasonably confident Lookman, shouldn't have time to get injured (so that we can sell him in 2 months), he brings him on with 5 minutes remaining.
Lookman proceeded to do more in those 5 minutes than the rest (apart from Harriott) had done for 85 minutes.
I can't help but think that Charlton really do want to get relegated.
Angry, is an understatement.
I honestly believe that ALL Charlton supporters MUST turn up on Sunday and demonstrate/object/whatever in the strongest possible manner.
Pitch invasions, brussel sprouts, whistles, invade the directors box, whatever.
Anything & everything goes as far as I'm concerned.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I'm going Sunday.
Riga was so inept with every decision tonight,
Lookman ,Sonogo and Harriott to start was so obvious, i can only
assume that he was under orders not to play Lookman.
The management of this club is killing me from the inside.
I'm stuck in a Duchatelet Microwave.
Didn't think he did much at all to be honest but even with that he was better than the useless Makienok.
I feel for you Steve, and I agree with you; the gloves are off and nothing should be discounted now from the fans on Sunday.
That is my opinion Ben by the way, I'm not going to get involved myself but I think the real fans should start some real, effective direct action.
Come on fans, don't spend next season regretting that you didn't do enough this season.
Why don't we all button it and simply not renew season tickets, hurt the Belgians that way.
Pitch invasions etc will lead to banning orders and the Belgians will have the last laugh when you cannot watch Charlton whilst Duchatelet had sold up long ago.
Too many people saying what should be done but they're not going to be there themselves.
Too many people doing f all to help on a match day
Too many people wearing the black and white who can't be arsed to come and do their bit at the 5pm protests
Time for everyone to stand up and be counted, not standing to one side and paying lip service to it.
CARD are doing their bit, and so are some others, like the Belgian 20 - but it needs everyone to get behind the protests.
Simples!
We have to do something to get this game disrupted! if we don't then those who are moaning can take over the protests next season when we aren't there!
Stop waiting for someone to get your club back for you - time to put up or shut up!
If you are boycotting matches, PLEASE turn up on Sunday. we need as many people as possible to take a stand and get our club back!
There WILL be protests being announced and there WILL be other protests happening with the aim to disrupt the match!
If you want to do something to get your club back this match is the time to do it!
I suggest everyone looks within themselves and makes a conscious decision to up their own personal ante, in whatever guise that may take.
