Definitely having a go there - maybe at the chairman getting fans’ hopes up? Basically he clearly admits things are still the same in terms of budget. He’s managing expectations.killerandflash said:
Interesting that Bowyer mentions rivals strengthening in January, and us having "the lowest budget by a country mile", a slight moan that we didn't spend in the window?Scoham said:6 -

Our friendly neighbours will lay down and die against our rivals but, as usual, avoid defeat against us probably by winning.oohaahmortimer said:
Points being shared around as we look for a handout from our friendly neighbourskillerandflash said:A crazy number of 6 pointers coming up down the bottom, and in consecutive matches too. For example these are Stoke's next 5 games
Hull
Reading
Boro
Wigan
Barnsley
While Luton in April play
Reading
Barnsley
Huddersfield
QPR
Hull
Barnsley in April in consecutive matches play
Stoke
Luton
Wigan
Impossible to call who will go down at the moment, as so many 6 pointers to play for, but for a neutral watcher, it will be gripping stuff
I believe that is a directive that the club is working towards implementing.After the FA's conclusion of the Casilla racism case, thus proving that there actually isn't a conspiracy against CAFC, as some banshees would have you believe, MFC has taken it upon itself to ensure some elements of CAFC's supporter base can continue the false narrative that the world is against them by losing all games against any team whereby it would adversely affect CAFC's survival efforts.

Always take what Bowyer says with a pinch of salt, he loves to play the underdog card at Charlton ‘lowest budget’, ‘everyone wrote us off’ etc, think he likes to use it as a way of getting a reaction from the squad3

So was Bowyer happy ,satisfied or fucked off with that wankstain of a January window .2

when you consider one of the best replacements for Gallagher , Ryan Woods , went to Millwall, sorta says a lot about the Jan window for us.oohaahmortimer said:So was Bowyer happy ,satisfied or fucked off with that wankstain of a January window .

Boro have fewer goals scored than the other teams which could count against themCharltonPete said:
Cue them beating us 6-0 on Saturday0 -

I'd be interested to know how many times 2 sides in the same division have got the same number of goals scored/conceded and equal points in the entire history of English football. I'd bet it's not many.1 -
Can we stay up on alphabetical order? Only have to worry about Barnsley then.7

If we have to rely on alphabetical order then even they'll finish above us1 -
In 2015-2016 Riga took 15 points from the last 12 games with a squad that included Henderson, Yun-Suk Young, Jackson, Bauer, Gudmundsson, Cousins, Makienok, Harriott, Diarra, Fanni, Ghoochannejhad, Ahearne-Grant, Bergdich, Solly, Fox, Ba, Pope, Lookman, Motta and Teixeira. It wasn't great but if that form had been consistent over the season we'd have stayed up, finishing 14th.
By contrast, to be certain of survival, Bowyer has to get 15 points from the last 10 games with a squad that is different, but not that much stronger. I'd guess too that the knowledge that the new "owners" might not have the funds they claim has leached through to the players, affecting, in some cases, how much they put themselves out.
My feeling is that this will be a struggle.3 -
@simonmatthews
Interesting post. Personally, I think our current side is weaker.
In fact I wonder how many of our current best 11 would make it into a combined best 11? Anyone apart from Lyle Taylor and Jonny Williams?3 -
What a depressing season that was, but at the end of January we won 4-1 at Rotherham, and at that stage were only 1 point from safety.simonmatthews said:In 2015-2016 Riga took 15 points from the last 12 games with a squad that included Henderson, Yun-Suk Young, Jackson, Bauer, Gudmundsson, Cousins, Makienok, Harriott, Diarra, Fanni, Ghoochannejhad, Ahearne-Grant, Bergdich, Solly, Fox, Ba, Pope, Lookman, Motta and Teixeira.

Rotherham brought in Warnock and rose up the table. We got 1 point in the next 5 games, and were now 7 points from safety...
Riga did bring in some decent players like Motta and Fanni, but too late. By the time they were match fit, we were more or less doomed.1 -
Not worried at all.
Charlton are going straight down!

Blimey! Imagine getting relegated because you had more yellow cards than another team.CharltonPete said:0 -
EFL Rule 261.43.g
In the event that two, or more, clubs end the season in an equal third-from-bottom position - i.e. have an identical number of points, goals 'for', goals 'against', and disciplinary record - the club to be relegated will be that which provides its supporters with the smallest portion of chipped potatoes.10 -

We have one of the worst squads in the Championship - need to over perform to stsy up.0

I think we used up most of our luck early on and our opponents didn't take their chances.oohaahmortimer said:

It's between us, Hull and Boro for that final place. Luton and Barnsley are gone.
I have us staying up by 6 points, with Boro going down. That's factoring in a few away losses and a home defeat to Millwall.

It was obvious it wasn't going to continue, our expected goals/assists showed that.

It's not always the case though, teams like Burnley and Palace have survived in the Premiership, setup that way, to play without possession, to be defensively solid and to score a goal from set pieces or on the break (or penalties - Palace always get penalties).jacob_CAFC said:hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

The problem we have is our defensive isn't good enough to play that way.3 -
Far too early to write off Luton and Barnsley, both are only 4 points below Boro and 5 points below us, and in decent form.The Red Robin said:It's between us, Hull and Boro for that final place. Luton and Barnsley are gone.

Blimey.
The problem is that my predictions were based on normal, predictable behaviour from all concerned, but this is the Championship and mainly mad shit happens.0
