The more I hear from Fleming, the more I'm liking him tbh
He talks very well - but that set up for today's game - with 8 defenders on the pitch to start with isn't for me
Hopefully just an attempt to stop the rot, Curbs-style. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, if he's still in charge for the next game and plays the same team/formation I'll be peed off
We play Derby next. Expect more of the same to minimise the openings and a bit more connectivity going forward after a bit of training ground work.
Way too many on twitter saying Fleming should get the season off a gritty 1-1.

He came in and did exactly what a caretaker manager sets out to do.
Need to move on now and bring someone in who can instil some confidence in the team, and drill in the basics on the training ground - because that’s where we are failing at the moment.
Typically measured responses from Charlton fans to an interview on twitter
I could listen to him post match every week, speaks with passion and heart, sounds like he treats the players as humans also. I think he’ll make a good boss one day.
I do like what I hear from & not being there today I cant really comment on the set up, but from what was said on here during the match Watson (L) and Kanu need to be starting.
From his interview he sounds positive and a motivator. Two key attributes Apples lacked. Whoever our new manager is I hope Fleming hangs around as he comes across very well.
Be happy with Flemming until end of season, while they search for a long therm solution.
Personally can't see the difference in having the likes of Euell, Bow, CP or, Jackson, and having any other unproven or meh "journeyman" manager. The theory that the only success we've had in recent history has come from former Charlton players, may only be true because of the amount of former players we've employed as managers in recent history.
A nice clean sheet with a manager that comes with some sort of pedigree and proven record.
Since Curbs we've had 15 managers according to the thread on here ranking them all.
Of the 15 we've had Powell, Bowyer, Jackson and Pardew with any Charlton connection and 11 outside appointments and if the next one is another outside appointment that'd be 4 out of 16 a 25% appointment rate.
Of the 11/15 outside appointments the best we can point to is 1 unsuccessful League One play offs attempt. Hardly a ringing endorsement to bring someone outside in. I couldn't even tell you who the last successful one was. You could argue a case for Jose Riga keeping us up in The Championship but others have claimed his support staff deserved as much credit as him.
All for a nice clean sheet someone with pedigree and a proven record but we don't have a proven record of these appointments working nor getting instant goodwill with the fans.

I was personally happy to give Fleming a go until the end of the season before today's game, just off the back of how he spoke in his press conferences and a couple of interviews.
After today's game, I've sort of lost interest again...

Warburton and Scott have a Brentford link. They weren’t there at the same time but Warburton did very well at Brentford so Scott will be very aware of him. Not my first choice at all but he is a decent coach. Feels a little Adkins’y though.

That's the spirit.
EDIT: emphasis on the “one day”.
I like him though
