I love the guy but lets be honest, he is not going to walk away at any time is he, he has the best part of a three year contract in his back pocket so no matter what is going on you hang around to be sacked and get paid off.
It's what football managers do, some make a good living out of it.

Poor comment, he’s made his money and had largely retired to his fishing lake.

And I suspect is putting a lot more into this job than many managers do, on top of all the ownership shite he's had to endure. Full respect to the bloke and his team.
I suspect he has been very frustrated knowing things he couldn't share. He also has a chance now to get Sarr fit and other players fitter and really have a go at things. If the season isn't cancelled that is.
Saw the other day that Peterborough have players in self-isolation, guess the Media arent covering it becuase they're not a Premier League side
In that case wonder how many other EFL players / Charlton players even are in self-isolation, reason I ask here is I wonder if Bowyer will be able to carry out training as normal

Perfect opportunity really to work on things that they wouldn’t have the chance to before. Some proper detailed training sessions on how to create chances, shape and positioning without the ball, defending set-pieces, lots can be done in this opportunity. As you said, so long as the season doesn’t get cancelled.

Judging by our 2 friendly results so far there's still a bit of work to do 😊
Pleased that worked and good to see/hear the press conference. Taking chances is clearly the great unknown for Lee as much as us. Time for Bonne, Hemed, Aneke, McGeady, Lapslie and Green to step up. There are goals in all of those and the defenders have proven they can chip in.
Also mentioned that he has the majority of the squad available ahead of Saturdays game so a few players are going to be missing
Has been difficult analysing Hull because of the break and because Hull's whole back four was missing for the original tie... Its meant that the Management team have focused on showing the players various clips of individuals
Admits its a good opportunity for McCann to try something new
Mentioned that he was having to clean the balls at the ground and cannot imagine any other manager doing that. Such are the bare resources.
Nothing to read into the results, they were fitness builders only, he wanted his team chasing down the ball vs Arsenal and against Championship goalkeepers 1 or 2 would have likely gone in.
All teams will face challenges with their squads other than those with the biggest squads with sufficient like for like replacements within them. Otherwise, there will be a mix of players not wanting to play and most definitely injuries, as pushing the players to play after just two or three pre-season matches is going to push their bodies beyond what is normal (preparation). Mentioned Arsenal losing 2 within 15 mins last night by way of example.
The squad including the 5 subs will be really important and rotation will also be necessary.
An interview with Lee Bowyer will be on BBC 1 Football Focus today, the program starts at 12 noon, its just been announced on BBC breakfast for those that maybe interested.
Comments
Focus on talking about the game itself and potentially playing in empty stadiums if your going to talk about other subjects
Leave the players and management to concentrate on what they do best!!

Loved in that interview how he was talking about getting Alex Rae back for the red card offence
