Why have aspirations of getting to the Premier League or even the Championship? Are we ever going to win those competitions?grumpyaddick said:I agree with Lord B.
We are never going to win it so why compete?
Let the League 1 competitors get distracted by a FA Cup adventure that ends in tears, injuries and then loss of form.
I cant even remember who won it last year and don't really care. I assume it was Man Utd, Man City or Chelsea as usual.
It wont even exist within five years.6 -
Feel for the few that made the effort yesterday but the lesson should now have been learned. Don't go to cup games.1

If they get promoted and go out to Liverpool in the 5th round will you have it tattooed on your arse?clb74 said:

You pays yer money to Ratty this is what you get. No point in bleating on about it.
Bowyer was correct to protect our thin squad he had no choice if he wants to give us the best chance of promotion.4 -
Roland has already said winning is not important, in his view. It’s just about the dancing after the game.3

That is because they wanted to win and draw a top money spinning club and invest in the club, which is good for them, it will make no difference to us as RD would have used it to lower his debt and not investkillerandflash said:

I gave up trying to work out Rolands logic a long time ago.5 -
Yes but what if we got about £500K in gate money from a plum 3rd round draw? It might mean he would be less inclined to sell someone like Aribo in January.blackpool72 said:

How many of the 64 remaining clubs do you think would have gate revenue of £2M in the next round ?
I say £2M, because after you've knocked off 20% VAT, then the costs and then split the money with the other club & the FA equally. You'd need £2M in gate money.
So I ask again, which match would attract £2M gate revenue ?
I suggest the answer is no match would and you're living in cloud cuckoo land.
Man U or Arsenal may come closest and we have as much chance of drawing them away as we do AFC Wimbledon.
Bowyer made a decision on facts not fairytales.9 -
All 3 cups we've been in this season then...letthegoodtimesroll said:
Ah, the old Joke...first prize in the raffle is a ticket to charlton’s next cup game, second prize is a ticket to charlton’s next two cup games, third prize....razil said:Perhaps the club should give all fans who attended a free ticket to the next cup game..
Imagine if we got promotion and the prize was 3 cup games...

whatever side of the fence you sit on the reality is that our club, Charlton Athletic, felt it necessary and justifiable to field an under strength side, at home to Doncaster Rovers, in the 2nd Round of the cup, because we are sixth in the third tier of English Football....let that sink in.30

From the admittedly limited BBC highlights it looked like Lapslie was playing Doncaster on his own! Nobody else seemed to be trying to track back when Doncaster attacked.1

Any money made from a cup run would go straight into his pocket and have absolutely no bearing on the transfer window.0 -
I've no idea what a game against any of the big 5 would actually bring in but if they charged their normal prices, we might get close to it.Covered End said:

Bowyer made a decision on facts not fairytales.
Even if you are right, didn't Airman say we would have got £54k for qualifying for the 3rd Round; what about the fee for TV coverage; extra sales in the shop.
It all adds up, maybe not to £500k but a pretty large sum nonetheless.1 -

Even if we did we have no reason for thinking RD would let LB spend the money.
Presumably if RD had told LB he could spend the money, he may have played a stronger team.
What we are sure of is we got no injuries to first team players yesterday and they should now all be fresh for the next league game.0 - Sponsored links:

I wonder why Bowyer is allowing players to get called up for international games 3 or 4 times a season. They are huge injury risks and don't contribute to our promotion push either.1

Luton another side fielding a full strength side for their cup game today. Apparently naming an unchanged side for the 5th straight match. How come their players aren't tired?
Portsmouth also made just 1 change from their last league game.11 -

I bet all the other managers worldwide wish they were allowed.
The next World Cup might be a bit boring if no one allows any call ups.5 -
Taylor flying to the Caribbean and playing non league level international matches is far more likely to injure him or affect him physically than playing Doncaster at the Valley.Covered End said:

Of course we shouldn’t stop him but that is the reality of his international excursions6 -

Even then, they can still call him up to be examined by their medics.
You can request they are not called up but you can't legitimately prevent it.

Not sure my comment required such a sarccy response. Players withdraw from international squads all the time. Look at Ryan Giggs for example. Do you think that is solely a player decision and the manager doesn't have a quiet word with the player to influence that?0

On the other hand he said a few weeks ago that Taylor needed a rest and wouldn’t feature in the next game but lo and behold he played 90 minutes.Aethelstan said:
He did.se9addick said:I think on the future if Bowyer (or any other Charlton manager) has a clearly pre-set intention of picking a severely weakened side he should say so as soon as practicably possible in advance. Then people know what they are paying for.
You were not paying attention.
Immediately after the Burton match he commented on their tiredness but said they could have 11 days rest before the Blackpool match.
Could not have said any clearer that no first team players would be picked.
I have no sympathy with anyone who went and then moaned about the selection. Anyone with half a brain would have know what sort of team we would put out.
Also not nice suggesting Bowyer only has half a brain .......
