Carol and His Weird and Wonderful Subs

Bearing in mind we have also been managed by Curbs, Parky and Powell, to be easily the worst ever Charlton manager at understanding how to use subs is quite some achievement.

    He must just pull the numbers out of a hat. I really don't see any logic in anything he does.

    Maybe km is waiting until he knows where all the players should be playing before getting rid of the 'interim' tag!

    Do you have to have had the dressing room before it can be said you have lost it?

    It's weird isn't it. It's like he has the same approach to football as our owners have. Roland thinks he can change the way it's run; don't pay other teams for players where possible, use a network, buy cheap and buy young. Karel thinks the same way about tactics. It's like he sits there thinking that there's no logical reason why a left back can't be a right midfielder or why a striker can't cover his full back. He seems to think he can re-invent the game and just chuck players around wherever he wants. It's genuinely embarrassing, like letting your grandma loose on the pause line-ups screen of Fifa. What did we have at the end, a centre half, a utility player and a left back in a three at the back situation and everyone else more or less freestyling?

    I take more care and am more sensible when playing Football Manager.

    Never liked clowns myself, never found them funny.

    This worked for him in the Belgian third division ... oh hang on a minute - it didn't did it?

    There are 1800 fans who had to take that down there. Karel ought to apologise to each one individually.

    He will though, be full of excuses, or even worse say something like 'this time folks I hold my hand up, I got it wrong'.
    This time.

    It will be more like "It was a game and it had to be played. And the board know and I know. And we played it. We made the decisions we knew had to be made, and we made them, and it was made."

    Good point... Not once have I heard one of these guys just admit they've got it wrong... Powell used to do it as did Curbs but never these Belgians!!

    Can one of the interviewers please ask him what he thinks he's playing at with these subs? I'd love to see an explanation

    This is Karel's own brand of total football - but he hasn't realised that the Dutch were a class act in the early 70s!
  • This is Karel's own brand of total shite!

    Fixed!!

    Clowns ain't funny, they're either crass or downright scary - KF manages to be both

    Swapping full backs was my high point.

    I reckon he will have around 1800 reasons/ excuses for why it did not work out as he pipe dreamed in his little brain, the utter knob.

    You could easily get the impression he hasn't got a clue what he is doing!

    seems to me like it's more of some bizarre coaching excercise, or, worse, able to say players can play in more than one position and bump their asking prices up

    he has not got a clue and I honestly believe the players do not have a clue what they are suppose to be doing, the guy switched Regan Cooke around the pitch so much it was laughable.

    Vaz Te had no idea where he was playing. Charles-Cook was moved 4-5 times. No idea where Reza ended up.

    Towards the end it honestly looked like 2-2-2-4

    Player mutiny and self organisation would probably help.

    Spot on and Makinoke playing as a winger was the icing on the cake.

    That's well spread out. What you complaining about.

    So who played in central midfield when Jordan came off for Igor? Was it Poyet and Moussa? Was it a 4-1-3-2 with Moussa, Reza, and CC as the three? I don't understand.

    Also, how many matches in a row have we had to make a forced substitution due to injuries? I'm not one who thinks that injuries are down to the manager necessarily, but it seems to happen every match for us, particularly in the first half.
