Where the fuck is Reeves. I know he didn't get a pre season but that's his effing fault. How many weeks has he been getting up to speed ? If he's not actually carrying a knock ? Then he is starting to get right on my goat.
One striker in the building and he's not a natural Goalscorer. Duchatelet has left the squad unbalanced yet again. Just sell the club you moron.
If we had a BWP we would be top I rekon.
There's definitely something we are not being told about Reeves.
...I think I watched a different match from some of you.
Thought Kashi was absolutely class. Won everything, hassled, harried, and rarely gave the ball away.
DaSilva was very good. JFC was very good. Fosu must have drawn about 10 free kicks, and the game might have been different if their right back had been booked for one of the first five.
Complete one way traffic in the second half. Created some good chances (Magennis, JFC, Bauer/Pearce) and just didn't take them. We were missing that little bit of extra quality that a Reeves, Ricky, or Marshall would bring.
Think people's minds would be different if Duchatalatet just sold the club & we were rid of Meire & the rest of the regime fan boys & apologists. I think a lot of people went into this looking for what they were going to see. Bury had two good chances and to their credit they took one. Complete one-way traffic in the second half. If we play like that most weeks we'll win a lot more than we lose.
I'm a fan boy and an apologist now? Because I thought we played well when others didn't? The fuck?
Wasnt referring to you SD but there are plenty that have happily & swiftly swept the toxicity of the Belgian regime under the carpet after a handful of wins in a mediocre division under a mediocre manager.
I just cannot be enthused or making excuses after a grim 1-1 draw in L1 over Bury under the stewardship of an inept SMT & an owner that has no interest whatsoever in Charlton Athletic.

Very frustrating. All one way traffic, played nice stuff in patches but all very samey and missing an edge to our play. Another day could have won convincingly.
Not happening for us at the moment. Not panicking yet though
Wait until we only take 2 points from our next 9, that's easily achievable.
I appreciate I'm a drum beater for the more realistic amongst us, this is chickens coming home to roost for 2 things
1) woeful investment in the squad 2) refusal from who I see as a very naive manager in any sort of flexibility and being a complete arse kisser to the regime through desperation to remain relevant and employed
This. Robinson is a good coach but is tactically poor at adapting to game situations.
Thought we played ok today and if one of our second half chances had gone in this thread would have been completely different. Squad does lack depth though, would want to rotate for Tuesday but other than konsa I am not sure there is anyone who could come in

More than fair enough. And I should have been clearer: the result is not good enough. End of. I was not excited about it. I just don't think we were terrible today. And we are missing what *might* be our first choice attacking three: Reeves, Holmes, and Marshall.
Regarding Roland selling, hopefully goes without saying I wholeheartedly agree. My current thinking is the most likely/fastest way for him to sell is for us to get out of this division. It seems, going on both the sale of part of STTV and the back and forth that went on over the summer, he is willing to sell. But going on what was coming out of the negotiations over the summer, I cannot see him having his valuation matched while we're in this division. Such is his apparent valuation, plus the fact that we're in League One, I genuinely worry about someone who would buy us for 50m or whatever right now. Would new owners be worse than him? Probably not. But of course it's hard to say, not to mention the ridiculous possibility of having new owners with Roland retaining The Valley.
That's my thought process here. That's why I try to remain positive about things, because I think the only way out is up.
Problem is @SDAddick, I think Duchatelet's price will go up if we find ourselves back in the Championship. He has an unrealistic view of the value of the club at whatever level we are. The crux will come when he runs out of young stars to sell in order to offset (some of) the operating losses. I really think they were touting Konsa around in the summer but couldn't generate too much interest at this stage. And who else is there coming through that could possibly generate decent money?
Duchatelet has done well, in his own terms, in making the player farm concept work so far. A couple of fallow years without a payback may cause him to think again.
A lot of you people seem to forget that this is a third division team. We were the better one today, but often lacked the final ball which is not uncommon in Premiership sides. Our goal was class, as was Clarke; best player on the pitch.
wasn't there .. irrespective of how we played, what possession we had, how good/bad we looked, relying on Magennis alone for goals and playing (I'll write it YET again) 4231, we are just not going to win many games, especially at home, we just won't score enough goals
I digress somewhat ... Rotherham who we beat comfortably at their place (despite them missing easy chances) have scored 5 goals at home, three times this season ... It looks as though we are gonna have to rely on away form and points to maintain any sort of promotion challenge .. 4231 at home plays right into the hands of away teams who come looking for a point .. we are shut down far too easily
Fosu made good runs and dribbled well time and time again, but never did anything with it. Always losing the ball to the final defender, so frustrating.
Kashi was a mixed bag today. From sublime to ridiculous at points.
Thought KAG had a really good game - surprised at the negative comments regarding his performance. We were well on top after half time until he went off, then we lost the momentum we had a little bit and didn't have the same intensity. A really poor substitution in my view.

Excellent post, Nailed it perfectly. After a poor first half we murdered them.
Saturday night and we are picking over the bones of a crap division 3 game against Bury. I never saw this coming 12 years ago. Less than 10K in the ground on a sunny September afternoon watching 22 players bore them senseless. God I hate anything Belgium

He certainly had a lot to say to the fourth official the whole game - poor sod must have earache!
He does that every home game. Perhaps if he focused his attention more on his own players the result might have been better.
He does what he is most comfortable with, talking.....,,,,,,,,agree he needs to concentrate on what is going on in front of him and start winning games again ffs.

Where we drinking before the Peterborough game. Just checked league table yes were 3 points behind wigan
PWR Enjoyed it - except for the obvious. Should have won it. Played some great stuff at times - we are too good (IMO) for league one - but we get bullied to easily - we play too prettily! Thought Kashi was great until he tired towards the end. Fosu not a team player - very selfish - decision making poor - never seems to know when to pass or shoot or cross! Rest of the team put in a real shift - though KAG had a good goal and wish his shot that was blocked went in! One of Da Silva's best. On to the next one. Starting (early days) to like like the season that might have been...

The beer, the chocolate, the waffles, the mussels, tin tin, Hercule Poirot, the chips with mayonnaise and anything else that country has inflicted on the world but especially the ones who involve themselves in football.

Not looking bad. Team who destroyed us 10 days ago only 3 points in front
I'm not sure why that's a positive. What you're saying is the top four are all vastly superior to us.
How can we say the top four are vastly superior when we've only played one of them
How do we know that Wigan performance wasnt a match where Wigan massively raised their game against us and wont play like that every week
How do we know that injuries / suspensions wont play their part for our opponents when we play the likes of Peterborough and Shrewsbury - There is such a long way to go from now until the end of the season, there are so many different factors that can ruin any teams season... This time last year Sheffield United were 7th on 14-pts with the likes of Bury / Northampton / Port Vale all ahead of them
Got enough negativity in life Charlton is one thing I refuse negativity That Wigan team should be further than 3 points ahead but thier not Up the reds
Less than 10k on a Saturday as the club drifts in the third tier under the ownership of this Belgian mug? My post-match view is still boycotting and enjoyed watching my local non-league side move up the table with a 3-2 win. As ever, Roland out.

Should have won with the chances we had in the second half but we are woeful in front of goal and with our final pass.
Grant is hopeless, we must have better than him somewhere, if not we can forget about promotion.
Like last week at times out fought/ muscled at times.
I cannot believe we didn't go 2 up front for the last 30 minutes or so, didn't rate Robinson last season can't see much change this.
