Hate to say it but this is one reason I didnt want him in charge...
We all want communication from the club yet this must be the fifth interview he's done of late sprouting the same old nonsense when I'd prefer him just to concentrate on getting that first bloody win!!
Is even annoying me the fact he's constantly saying that he wants to sign some wingers in January... Keep it to yourself as at the moment you sound desperate for players in that position so teams will double the asking price (something else you hated)
He is getting annoying now, I give you that. BUT and it's a big big impossible BUT, if he can get us a win tonight, he will enter the Pantheon of Charlton legend. Likelihood we know what is coming and he will be spouting the same old shite next week!
We have three, Chicksen, Botaka and Aribo that can potentially play wide left. Holmes due back soon but RCC has played there and doesn't get a look in. Karl, we need central midfielders with mobility, not wingers.
I was going to post this before tonight's game. It seems even more appropriate now.
I suggest it is time for the noise to stop on both sides of the debate here. The club, squad, team need stability.
Throwing yet another coach/manager under the bus will change little.
I thank Mr Robinson for commitment to the club.
I thank his efforts to communicate what he is trying to achieve. I do not have a problem with such an approach up and until it becomes a distraction. There are times to talk and there are times to deliver
I respectfully suggest it has gone beyond the time to step back and focus on the deliverables.
I am not expecting miracles. I am not sure many of us are but I am expecting to see the deliverables he has talked about; discipline, organisation, commitment, industry, positivity, attacking enterprise.
No matter you await injured players to return, no matter you await new arrivals all of the above qualities are deliverable today. They need to be delivered today. That is the remit of any coach or manager.
Whether the team will then deliver result will always be open to the talent within the squad and indeed returning players and new arrivals will hopefully boost that agenda but the foundations on which we need to build success needed to start today.
There were 8 fixtures before the end of the January window, nearly 1/3rd of the remaining fixtures of the season even before you account for any player "settling-in" period.
To reassert the intent to challenge for a top 6 spot meant the clock started today. If I accept the road he wants to travel is paved with good intention then so is "the road to hell".
I perceive some worrying signals not necessarily in the man himself but more about his experience in taking on the challenges he faces today. There is concerning naivety about his approach to the protests, about securing the right players at the right price in a January Transfer window, about restructuring the playing format to style which appears to be beyond the comfort zone of the players at his disposal.
The situation is not terminal, far from it, I believe he has something to offer but he must cut the distractions, cut the spin and do his job. It has not gone well to this point but the last thing the players and supporters need is to see a 9th appointment occurring this season.
So Mr Robinson less focus on talking about getting the job done and more focus on actually getting the job done.

There used to be a sign on the wall in the players tunnel, something along the lines of " Quality is expected Effort is demanded" watching a tunnel cam recently it seems the sign has disappeared.
- Protests footage. - A bit of a background on the issues at Charlton, protests and the desire for Roland to pack up.
Karl's Thoughts:
- On the initial vibe: it doesn't feel chaotic, "first reaction: it's brilliant"
- On the unrest: "certain people may have used the problems to cut corners, rather than focus on themselves"??
- On the fans: "I just hope I can do them proud."
- Players not training on Christmas day, psychological benefit of Christmas day surpasses that gained by training.
That was it! A bit shit to be honest, a complete non-feature. Bizarre?
Arrived late to this thread but the use of the term 'certain people' by KR is not good...not good at all.
It's more the kind of thing you might see on the fridge door of a shared student flat........
Look guys, certain people have been eating my cherry yogurts. I don't want to name names but if those certain people (and they know who they are - yes they do) don't stop then we will all have to start marking the Yoghurt pots so we know whose are whose.........do we really have to go down that particular route?

You have to assume he's already made up his mind who they are and lined them up for the exit door. God knows what he thinks he'll replace them with though.
Robinson can turn this round. Firstly he must distance himself drom the CEO and owner - simply by not mentioning them. Then just focus on what he needs to do with the team. We will always support the team, providing they give us something to support. If he wants to tell me how great KM is, he can just go and do one! I think we know more about her failings and disrespect than he does! He will figure it out at some point, and then he will see the wisdom in distancing himself from them.
