Our season starts against Blackburn

Nobody expected anything from the Hull game.

Blackburn is winnable. We need every fan behind the team.

Protest afterwards if you want but support the team and not the regime is definitely the order of the day.

I expect there will be news emanating from the club this week - maybe about Katrien, maybe about new signings or a coach or two. We are definitely not relegated already as its tight at the bottom.

The players have a massive task to get their heads straight and having 12,000 fans behind them is going to help.

Operation not a lost cause starts immediately

    Don't mention the fricking word operation in a Charlton game as we know how they all end up

    I am for protesting before and after, and at half time. But if I buy tickets I will support the team not the regime while the game is going on.

    It did, but unfortunately it finished in September.

    For Gods sake. Get your heads out of the sand. There is only one important result for Charlton and that is new owners. The team IS the regime.

    I'm finding it increasingly hard to support some of these players who are using the regime as an excuse. Looking at you Gudmundsson.

    The regime sold JBG a dream and promptly shat on it. hes got every right to feel aggrieved - he should be playing in the top flight and preparing for the Euros but instead he's in a relegation battle with a team bereft of confidence with a revolving door for a coach, an awol CEO and "fans" calling him shit every week.

    I just can't think why he's not performing.

    Surely, and more importantly, the regime sold the fans a dream and promptly shat on it two years ago. They seem to think that parcelling up the same meaningless platitudes in a different order every 6 months or so will keep the wool pulled over our eyes. The nightmare is, that this actually seems to work with a number of fans.

    What they are doing to the players is, in the main, transient, what they are doing to us.....

    They treat the club as some crazy socio-economic experiment and assume that they can break the mould of how football works, just because they've decided theirs is a better way.

    Frankly, I'm tired of giving the regime time to turn things around. At least with the Spivs you knew they were penny pinching because they'd run out of Cash (I know it was the other way round). With the current chief fuckwit, it's because he thinks he's soooo clever. I mean, let's face it, if Roland doesn't do failure, that means we cannot fail...

    We may have to redefine success though.

    Support the players, fair enough, but if they cannot be arsed, they deserve everything they get.

    We are beyond games like this being not lose. Thanks to the interim experiment, all these matches are now must-win. Draws aren't going to get us out of this mess.

    He's a professional. None of us can sit in the office and turn in crap work because we don't like the boss and expect nobody to get pissed off. I'd suggest he looks at his bank account. There's a damned good reason to play to the best of your potential.

    The regime gave him what him and his agent wanted. Any look at how the regime had been running this club and their other network clubs would have shown them exactly what to expect.

    None of them want to be here; foreign contract chasers and long-term home grown. That is why we are conceding 5s and 6s

    More like ends against Blackburn. Suppose we could put the under-21s out... can't do much worse!
    As Kentred said, the future of OUR CLUB is more important than one game. We are and have been utter crap for the best part of four months, can't see it changing now. Afraid we have to accept that we are almost certainly doomed; but if that's what it takes to get the current regime out, so be it!

    I can't agree with this Swisdom. He was shocking up at Hull yesterday and I remember him bottling a challenge in the second half. Yes he may have been made promises about our ambition to persuade him to stay, but 10,000 odd Chatlton fans have also been promised a lot over the last 2 years, we still turn up week in, week out trying to get behind them despite being served up a pile of shit.

    I'm indifferent to the team at the moment to be honest. I don't agree with the ironic cheering someone like Mak gets, but I do think he's crap. If I get angry in the game, I think like most others, my chants are RD related.

    I see where you're coming from in getting behind the team, but I need more from them than what we've seen. I also think some of them have started to try and show some sort of connection with us re: our protests, which I find weird, because the protests stem, IMO from the crap on the pitch

    February is the acid test: if we don't beat Rotherham and Bristol, we've had it.

    Rubbish.

    Look at Sheff. Utd, look at Portsmouth - how long have they been down in Div.1 & 2. We could go down, change owners and STILL be stuck in the lower divisions. What happens on the pitch does matter.

    Saw this on Twitter, there is a lot to turn around. Take a look at these scatter graphics. Not great reading but gives a good indication of how bad we have been.

    The one where nobody got relegated in January. Or February for that matter.

    19 games is a lot and it starts one game at a time on Saturday

    What a negative attitude I know it's Charlton but
    surely try and be positive for every game.
    Didn't we beat them 2-1 2nd home game?
    We need two decent central defenders, a decent LB
    and Watt back to clear his head and put himself in the shop window
    if he badly wants to get away!

    Agree completely - Hull away was never on my list as a game we'd get anything from. Obviously we'd all like to have nicked a result but the real battle is over extracting maximum points (or dropping the minimum possible) from the next 7 fixtures. The odds are against Riga......but we do have some decent players as it stands and if he brings in 2-3 more we have a chance.

    Lets get behind the team.
  • To stay up we need to win the next three. We won't.

    Bristol City will find a striker willing to join them and appoint a better manager than the last and will pull clear. Leaves us, Bolton, Rotherham and MKDons. Trouble is we are 6 points (effectively 7 with goal difference now) behind MKDons and our last 6 games are horrendous.

    Hands up, I still think we will survive ...May change my mind after Blackburn
  • We are 1/10 with Coral to go down, 1/8 most other places. For anyone thinking it's a 50/50 or anything similar due to the amount of points we are away from relegation atm etc.

    I know this sounds crazy but I'm actually starting to look forward to the "Mission Impossible" facing Riga and the boys.

    Avoid relegation and we would have see a bloody exciting end to the season!

    PS - I still want RD and KM out!
