i never expected the result at Bolton. however I just cant see us getting into a play off position by the end of the season as I don't think our squad is good enough. have to see I guess.
as for we're slowly getting our Charlton back I cant see that happening till the fan base is united and under this owner that is never going to happen. so no we're not slowly returning to what we were. unless you've heard Roland is about to sell up to someone?
Roland has appointed a decent manager at the 7th attempt, we've had a good win, and the CEO is still gagged. And there are persistent rumours that Roland is under pressure to sell, so what's not to like?
So, a positive thread gets a good kicking with the same old and tired comments.
And where did this piss take of "mighty Fleetwood" come from? Bigger clubs than us have been in this division and there are a lot of so called smaller clubs than us in higher divisions. Fleetwood are in this division and are higher in it than us. We should respect that first and foremost. It is no good wallowing in the past. It is what it is. Get on with it.
Addict4life is right. The team is looking better and there is more positivity about. Get behind the team and Robbo and who knows, maybe we will be playing in a better league soon.
Why do people still keep getting positive under this regime. All that's happened is they haven't sacked a manager in a few months.
There must be a term for this when your mind convinces you that it's okay becuase it's not been as bad as it could.
You are right Cabbles BUT, Did you not get a buzz when you heard the game had finished on Saturday When FT is put next to Bolton V Charlton and we had won ?
The difference is i treat the matches as 95 odd minutes which i always want Charlton to win without thinking of any long term ambitions because i know what Douchebag did to Standard when they had a very successful season 5 years ago when he then sold the five best players and the rest is history.
We will continue to count the days with 3blokes but until that day happens we still need to be a competitive football team because the hole we are in will turn into an abyss even under new owners, if we are too far into Duchatelet's Downtrodden Dystopian Dark Dank Dreary Despairing Doom.
Clueless, arrogant skinflint still owns the club. Check. Incompetent big-nosed liar still managing things on a daily basis. Check. Club still millions in debt. Check. Still being charged interest on those millions. Check. Player recruitment still in the hands of a spotty computer nerd who knows more about nappy rash than he does about football. Check. Manager turnover still running at more than 2 per season. Check. Most promising players still sold, every transfer window. Check. Mid-table position in the Third Division. Check. Out of both cups. Check. The Valley more than half empty for all home games. Check.
Please forgive me if I keep that Champagne on ice a little longer.

To be fair this post was a little bit rash given the original poster's comment. What I meant was, I don't think much has changed. KR may get a little bit more out of the team but it's not going to be enough to get us up imo.
And, it's like we fall into the trap of thinking it may/could work out with the team (of course we would because we want to see wins). But really, I think we've had another month of going backwards. The additions seem okay, but they should be in addition to what we already have.
Of all the seasons I've seen us promoted (98, 00, 11) we built on the squads. I don't believe the momentum is there this year
I do love the feeling of being mid table in League One. That was the Charlton I started supporting back in the 70s. Only then we called it Division Three. Exciting times.
In case it wasnt clear, I can't share your optimism. Charlton wont be Charlton until they've gone.
We're mid table in League One, preparing for a future crippled with debt, whilst being some egomaniacs play thing. Not exactly putting a grin on my face to be honest.
We're in a worse situation than we'd been in for a couple of years before he bought us. We've regressed at a staggering pace over the past few years, and I've seen nothing to suggest this trend wont stop.
A few wins here and there still wont get us promoted this season, something that should've been an expectation, and it wont even get us back to where we were when Roland came in.
No. I'm disappointed with this season and I'm disappointed with the circumstances that got us here. A few wins - albeit including a fantastic one - doesn't change a great deal.
You can kind of forgive kids of a certain age for being this deluded, but how on earth can grown adults be this blind? When will people learn that nothing will change under this regime?
I had a good feeling with two Latvian girls I met last night, so good that I sent selfies of the three of us to a load of people on WhatsApp at 4am.
In fact, when I left their gaff and jumped in a taxi at 7am, I went as far as sending a photo of Johnny Jackson doing a knee slide to all my pals too.
This photo to be precise:
That's about the closest that Charlton has got to giving me a good feeling recently.
It's a good story though. I just thought I'd share it whilst we're all chatting bollocks about good feelings and Charlton.
It's a great story now where's the pic of the Latvians ?
Nah, the story is immensely less cool when - with the benefit of sober eyes - it appears I had a night out with feckin' Dracula.
I blame the lighting.
Obviously I did make sure to screenshot a glowing review of the evening that I received via text message.
So when you sobered up, you realised there was actually only one of them?
No, just one of them looked like Dracula in the selfie - which was taken in dimly lit bar. I have 3 selfies, 2 as the three of us and 1 with one of them alone.
Sadly, I've posted pissed up selfies before and regretted it FFS...!

Forgive? I don't think even kids need your forgiveness and I am not sure you have the qualifications to grant it. Deluded? The team can improve with or without Roland and in case you missed it, we support the team. It is you that is blind son. Things can always change. I forgive you your youth.
Yeah. Whether they need it or not, it's accepted because of their youth and naivety. Of course the team can improve on the pitch and I hope they do. But the running of the club will remain the same because fans who have been paying attention for the last 3 years have seen the same thing repeated over and over.

And I am one of those. But I think I detect a change in the attitude and application of the team.
Did you hear the one about the communist who died of an open mind?

No-one laughed, or smiled. It was a shaggy dog crap joke with no punch line.
But, hey, what the heck! Let's bust this monster.
#footiefansgetrealandwintheday
The Mottingham posse have been briefed about the 29th minute and will belt out VFR.
COYR
Roland out.
Still getting a good feeling with another new manager and new era to look forward to?
