Many on here wanted a non-network, British manager who had control over the signings. Here we are... Every team in the division knows exactly how to play against us... We now have two weeks before our next meaningful match. We have seen no improvement or evolution in tactics. We still have the same problems we had in pre-season. Were it up to me, Slade would go today so we had two weeks to bring a new manager in. I struggle to see how we could get in someone drastically worse.
Slade might know all about L1, but I wouldn't believe all the gumph about full control for a single minute - this is Latrine we're talking about. Yes, he needs to go, but after years of inept management the rot has well and truly set in and the wheels have come off: even a Ferguson or Klopp couldn't turn things around because of the toxicity that permeates down from the top.
Was going to go to this one. Usually I would jump at the chance to get down the valley, especially football for a fiver, but I just couldn't make myself go today. I spent the day going to a nature reserve and a museum instead and enjoyed it much more than I would watching the crap that we have been playing this season and giving this regime more money.
Such a sorry state of affairs, especially as this is one of the rare occasions I get to spend time with my dad.
How can you start with one up front against Rochdale at home, pathetic plan Russell Slade. one point out of the last three home games sums it up.
Only teams its reasonable to play one up front against are those who are romping the Division with far superior players or are in a higher Division in a Cup match!!
That's it.....what a load of shit...crap players who can't pass or keep the ball...we are going down....Slade OUT....not going back, I even hte it more than last season......the players (if that's what they call themselves) have no pride or passion.....they should all Fxxx Off
Other than the draw at Scunthorpe, Slade has had a shocking last month. The results have been bad, but entirely deserved, our football is shocking.
Yes we are a shambles and disgrace off the pitch, but you can't blame RD, Katrien or Mowgli for the awful hoofball passing, having one striker completely on his own for most of the game, or Lookman fluffing 2/3 of his corners. The players and coaching staff have to take responsibility for this.
Ignoring the match on Tuesday, Slade now has 2 weeks to sort things out, and get our players to work as a team, as at the moment we don't look like a team at all.

He hinted on TV he was interested in Jan 15. They chose Guy Luzon

Slade must go .. early days I thought he might be the answer, he's not, he's a timid and tactically inept 'manager' .. potentially the playing squad midfield excepted, is decent, just mismanaged and demoralised ..
I'd like to see Justin Edinburgh given the job .. don't think it will happen .. that or Back to the Future with Curbishley, one of the very few men who must surely retain some respect amongst the increasingly angry and desperate Addick fans .. alas this is unlikely to happen either .. oh that it would though .. I have no idea what will happen next .. my optimism is fast turning to stone
The only thing you can say this season with the current table is that there are 5 points between 5th & 21st. There are also a huge bunch of ordinary teams in the division of similar standard.
Slade does though seem to be getting a team less than the sum of its parts & is very negative. I am struggling to see why Lookman is taking every corner. The central midfield to me is the the clear problem. I hope the scouts are doing something to identify someone who may fill this position in the January window, or Charlton will be looking over their shoulder more to a relegation scrap than getting near the top 6.
Slade is clueless an under him we are are somehow still managing to go backwards. Man is clueless and listening to his excuses week in week out Makes my blood boil.
Players now need a rocket up their arse, have swerved any responsibility really up until now but it has to stop

Agree about strange policy of Lookman taking the corners. Better to have him in the middle causing problems as they come in I'd have thought. Waste having out by the corner flag.

Mind you it was our fans moaning and booing his tactics in which prompted him to leave as he felt he took the club as far as he could. Wonder what them same fans are wishing for now?

I'd be very surprised if the majority of those "fans" didnt leave us the moment we were relegated to the Championship

three home games sums it up.

F*ck off RD and Co. and give us our club back.
Awful game, awful atmosphere. So many anonymous players in our team....

Why does Botaka never get on before the 80th minute?
Is he contracted to only play the last 10 minutes of a game or what's the story?

Charlton 21 out of 22 after 11 games - above only Abedare Athletic. Whatever happened to Abedare Athletic ?
(On October 2nd 1926, Charlton had played 8 games and were 21st.
http://www.statto.com/football/teams/charlton-athletic/1926-1927/table/1926-10-02)
Charlton recovered to finish 13th on 40 points.

Again - Slade's fault alone for that.
pushingstumbling into the back of RolandNow there might be a influx of of volunteers for the latter role so the winner will be pulled out of a hat
