Even before this clip, my opinion of Sandgaard would go up a considerable amou T if he let Steve Brown go and hired Maxwell full time for Charlton TV.Callumcafc said:
Putting that to one side: yeah, pretty much. It's clear he has insights many of us don't given he's worked for the club. It's good to hear it echoed by someone who has worked there part time but has no other stake in Charlton. Sometimes as supporters, from the outside looking in, things seem simpler than they are and the answers more straightforward and what it's like day-to-day. Maxwell covering the entire league and the entire Football League gives him a much better perspective.0 -

Guardian have us as automatic promotion contenders along with Derby, Bolton and Pompey2

Interesting the way he described our signings as the ideal L1 six a side team. He was really positive about us and said we could challenge for the top two.8

But he also put Oxford in 3rd!ForeverAddickted said:

George Elek is always a bit biased towards Oxford as he is a fan, BUT Oxford are definitely the dark horses this year. With the signings they’ve made and Manning at the helm, they’ll definitely be up around the play offs I believe.Ferryman said:

If the season went off tomorrow and you couldn’t make anymore signings, I think 5th is about right. But I’m hopeful we can push a bit further.Blackpool have a wonderful manager, but I’m not sure they have the side for forth.4 -
Last year was the outlier, as before then Oxford had consistently been near the promotion placesRC_CAFC said:

I'd be staggered if Reading actually finish bottom, as surely they'll be taken over and able to bring in some players. They're not a small club in a poor, neglected part of the country, they're in a modern stadium in a prosperous area of the country.3 -

We’re still 5th , who could ever forget that most misleading of positions , was that our first season outside the Prem ?1

Yes, Pardew’s finest, I think.oohaahmortimer said:We’re still 5th , who could ever forget that most misleading of positions , was that our first season outside the Prem ?1 -
We some how clung on to 5th for a while but our form was appalling and the pack tightened right up on us before the most predictable slide down the table , to an 11th place finish happened0

This lot predict 8th. But they also described Lloyd Jones at a veteran.
‘Charlton Athletic
The South London outfit have made two key deals so far this window with League One veteran Lloyd Jones and Alfie May coming in. Dean Holder was made manager at the end of 2022 and is aiming to push for a play-off place coming off the back of a continued mix bag of results since his arrival, with his work with the squad judged solely in the run-in of last season.
Prediction: 8th’
Sounds like it wasn’t written all that recently?

Good, and detailed analysis there. I know Ali has been on Charlton TV, but the level of knowledge he shows you'd think this was a Charlton podcast, not one covering 72 clubs.3

His mate George Eleanor called it when we were all getting fuzzy in the gusset about Deano last season.
They both when doing their predicted 1-24s had us as basically shit or bust, and it would all come down to "how good is Dean Holden"
I think there is a little bit more to it than that and Ali covered it in todays pod, we have no top down strategy and a squad with players from Lee Bowyers time, Adkins time, Jackos time, Garners time and now some Dean Holden players. The clubs who have gotten it right are clubs that have used the modern structure of director of football/technical director as it should be and identified a way they are going to play and a long term strategy and recruited everyone to fulfill that strategy. QPR are doing something similar to us, lurching from one type of character and manager to another and expecting things to change.
Ben Garner was meant to be the full.on attacking 4-3 maestro but was trying to do it with about 35% of the playing staff necessary to pull that off. Bowyer and Jacko I think were fairly similar in that they looked to play with an intensity, lots of one touch and working the ball to the byline to be put into the danger zone between the 6 yard line and the penalty spot, god knows what Adkins was up to, I hold my hands up there but he seemed like a decent bloke.
Whoever comes in will have the same problem the last few managers have had, they are going to have to embrace pragmatism and not the eutopia of their dream system learned from their coaching courses. Be hard to beat, retain possession or play the percentages, play a system that fits the players you have not the system you would play given exactly the personel you desire to play inverted wingbacks in a 3511 343 whatever
