Will be in the Rovers end so will have to behave myself when Corey scores his hat-trick.7

4 - 0 to the Rovers0

The OS saying that Charlton TV will go on air at 14.15 for a 19.45 KO - I guess there's lots to talk about!25

Can’t see us getting anything out of this. The big question is, do I waste another £10 purchasing a stream 🤔0

Fortunately at my mum's house so will not be having to make a choice whether to follow the game. I just won't.2

no McGrandles or Taylor until the back end of January and Aneke possibly beyond that.0

I have a spare terrace ticket at face value if anyone fancies piling on some more misery! Will be in Bristol from 3ish for collection.1

With the options of a right sided player, I would sadly choose Tedic. My preference would normally be for our home grown talent, byt Kanu is clearly struggling and some of the fans are beginning to write him off. So if we are going to traumatise a player, let's do it to someone who isn't ours and probably won't be here after january.
We have a bit of a history of throwing our youth in at the deep end in recent seasons and it never really works out. And frankly, our season is wrecked - a defeat against the Gas will hardly be the end of the world.0 -

This is so Charlton... Everyone thinks we're get turned over just like at Barnsley but then we do something crazy.... However, with Marquis up front who will always have a point to prove I just can't see anything less than 5 nil drubbing. The way we've played recently I can see a complete breakdown.0

Because we pay peanuts ? Because the people appointing our managers are just appointing their mates ? Because the smt don't have much of a clue ?( & just because they've been involved at other clubs means fuck all)JamesSeed said:@Scoham Tricky fitting CB-T into a 3-5-2
Would you keep Tenai and Tayo as wingbacks and have Corey just ahead of Edun?
Maynard-Brewer
Hector Jones Thomas
T Watson L Watson Dobson Edun
Blackett-Taylor
May Kanu
And why do we always seem to get such inflexible managers?1 -
Not buying the stream. Given up on this shower, home games excepted. Certain defeat.0

I can't stop crying2

4-0 Rovers. We're overdue an absolute pounding and I think we know it. I'll be there tomorrow, but only because I hate myself and don't think I deserve to be happy. COYR!14

We win convincingly tomorrow and Appleton is a genius.2

Rovers 2 Charlton 0
1 nil at the break . Charlton huff and puff second half without creating much until Rovers wrap things up with a late second after a defensive error. Sounds familiar?0 -

FT - Bristol 3-1 Charlton
Can’t see anything other than a loss.. Sad times to be a Charlton fan.. Feel really disconnected from this team and Appleton.. I will hold my hands up and say that I thought Appleton showed signs of being someone that could take us forward.. And many of the results have on paper not looked bad.. But even in victory we were really really poor at times.. We’re a 45 minute team at best..For me I think back to the Cheltenham game.. we were so so poor but we got the 3 points.. I felt shit leaving the ground after that game because I knew then we were never getting promoted this season… a few people came on here and were told to stop being so pessimistic after that result.. we got the 3 points.. but the signs were there.
Personally I think Appleton has lost this lot in the dressing room… not saying that it’s all his fault although I think he must take the lions share of the blame.. but theres some players that are the usual suspects.. some of them partly responsible for getting the last 2-3 managers the boot.. I can’t believe it but I genuinely think we need a top to bottom clear out and soon. Start now and prepare for next season.

We are shocking away from home but our home record will be more than enough to ensure we are in no danger of getting sucked into any relegation battle.letthegoodtimesroll said:

I know it’s hard to imagine where the next win is coming from at the minute but winless runs don’t last forever. And when we get one, another two or three will come along with it, and then just when the fans start thinking we might sneak the playoffs with a few more wins, we’ll go back to being shite for six weeks and on the cycle goes.
The inconsistency will carry us through to a 10th place finish come May.3 -
Why wouldn’t you just play a right winger like Chem or Tyreece on the right wing?

I wouldn't write Kanu off. He needs playing in his correct position, that's all. Maybe as he gains experience he can be used with more versatility but it is extremely unfair on the young lad. I'd have him in the middle with May in the 10 role behind him, then work the rest out from there. Part of the rest has to be dropping Fraser who is playing like he doesn't care. We need our senior players to battle through games and take the youngsters with them.9
-
16 more appearances for Fraser and we are his most played for club (82). 7 more goals and he has scored more goals for us than anyone else he’s played for (17).
Says it all really.0 -
Despite the result just want to see the team give 100% rather then this half hearted crap they have been serving up so COYR
LET'S DO THIS

Weak, feeble, pathetic.
No plundering from the Pirates, more strolling in and helping themselves to what's in the cupboards whilst we stand back and direct them where to go next.

I think that supporting Charton in the 2020s is like reading a terribly sad book about someone who gets divorced at the end of each chapter. You think the next chapter is going to get better, that he/she is going to find the right person. You read on, with little hope but thinking that surely the author must be leading us to a happier somewhere, surely. Each chapter begins well but again this terrible story continues. Why can’t we put the book away never to read it again?
One of the things about getting a new manager is that it begins somewhat cheerfully, and then when the players realise that the fans have turned against him - it's like reading the same sad chapter again. We move onto the next chapter and the author writes the same old sad story again.
Who is the author?
There is not one author, there are many: the fans, the owners, everyone who works at the club.
This match may not only be the last match of the year but if the authors don’t get behind the manager, however hard that may be to do, it will be the last page of the Appleton chapter.
I think that as authors we need to write a new chapter ourselves, not about things coming to an end, but about knowing how good something was, how we did it, and that if we try that method again, however slow and hard it may be, this book will come to an end and everything in the new book will be different.
The new book will be about a relationship being given the chance to work. It’s not particularly strange or complicated to understand, but it needs courage and hard work to write.11
