Everyone can see our limitations, which are down to the above.
Jones publicly stated the investors have been magnificent this Summer. Really Nathan? Just where exactly?
I'm not seing that myself. They just gambled on selling Alfie May so they could re-cycle the fee buying squad improvements yet you could count on a three fingered hand just how many good players have been recruited.
Why do we need a clown like Andy Scott when the manager with his big orange hat on is bringing in Luton Town has been's and never will be's. Then there is Greg Docherty who in a word is shite.
GFP or whatever they call themselves may have got everything looking nice but as for funding a promotion winning squad, they are miles off being the kind of owners that are going to get this club going again.
I am sick and tired of 'trying to do it on the cheap' ownership who don't back the manager enough.
Relying on hand outs from the Gomez and Lookman deals to invest a tiny percentage back into the squad budget tells you everything you need to know about how serious they are about taking this club forward.
Before the season started we were told we will bring in quality players that are capable of playing in the championship, yet from very early on you could see most of the players are nowhere near that level, some are not even good enough for L1.

Big big alarm bells went off for me when we had to stop recruitment after bringing in 7 players and then try and offload before we could recruit again……even after releasing so many player wages in the summer…..
The lack of any marquee creative midfielders coming in was also extremely worrying for me and we are being found out now for what we are….

Keeping May, Dobson and Fraser would have been a sensible start!

The lack of any marquee creative midfielders coming in was also extremely worrying for me and we are being found out now for what we are…. Once again we were drawn in by transfer window hyp. The obvious midfield problems haven’t been addressed, half of them are not only not good enough, they are not what we want, ( no play maker ). The attack is never settled, Kanu should have gone out on loan long ago and an experienced but not worn out striker brought in. We actually have a reasonable defence, just about getting over the loss of Edward's and looking forward to his return ( Edun should have been given a chance in his absence) and then the main stay of our defence is suddenly left out with no satisfactory explanation. What the bloody hell is going on ! |

Sure, but it's all we have. Plus Edwards available again. Five of the starting XI yesterday gave very poor performances, and these five haven't been great this month. But Mannion, the back three, Coventry and Ramsay have been consistently good all season. I say play T. Campbell, Leaburn plus one in a front three and paper over the cracks in midfield so that we can limp through to the January window. Some might say that we can't keep buying players, or that we need to lose some players first. No, we need club revenues to increase and the owners to fund further player acquisition. CAFC financials only make sense back in the Championship so let's ensure we qualify for the play-offs. |

I just hit on this thread while searching for a place to put the news that the Australian national team (the Socceroos) have just announced their new manager .The ex Palarse, CB legend,Tony Popovich, after Graham Arnold resigned last week. I said that he was currently the manager of Melbourne Victory, but that job is currently held by ex Leeds RB, Paddy Kisnorbo.Popa was without a club so perhaps he was waiting in the wings,Just a thought.
Reams has written a very honest thread here, All very franc and true albeit not so positive and enlightening.Unfortunately for those that have followed the Robins/Addicks for years, its a frustrating, almost heart breaking story. Simplistically put,we sell our best players, to make a quid, and buy in players, on the cheap, hopeing that the system clicks .There has been no ambitious ownwers post war ,and it shows.
I would put the, Curbs period in the old div one, as pure luck. Not to take away the guidance of Curbishly.A serious Charlton legend, with tallent to boot. But alas. it was such a too brief, period.I believe he made a 'star team' ,instead of a 'team of stars'Got them to give 100% for the shirt. I doubt if there was anyone worth over a couple of million, pounds,in the whole team
Now it is back to our owners, and what they are here for. Being synical, i feel that they want their tax returns in negative for their own benefit. We just dont seem to get anyone who has the club at heart and invest in players.It has come to the point where we languish in the depths of the English league, We have clubs like Bournemouth, Brentford, and dare i say it Palarse, in the EPL. No disrespect to em. Good luck to em, but as an Addick it hurts

Difficult to know who to blame. Is it a) Methven telling the owners we only need x amount when we needed far more or is it b) the owners saying you are only getting x amount with Methven telling them that amount won't cut it or c) x amount was the figure that Jones knew he always had to work with and he didn't recruit adequately?
From the getgo I didn't like the set up and couldn't and still don't understand why three billionaires needed or wanted other investors. Okay the consortium spent over the odds in buying the club in the first place but then with the accumulated wealth of 7 investors it seems ridiculous not to invest enough to give us a better chance rather than having to shift players out before the jigsaw can be finished.

Was told something to add from saturday, part of the reason Steve Avory leaving/stepping back is due to Andy Scott making to many changes and has cut the amount of U21 players because where he has f×ucked up in the passed and now sucking up to Jones to give him more playing budget on the first team.

Okay the consortium spent over the odds in buying the club in the first place but then with the accumulated wealth of 7 investors it seems ridiculous not to invest enough to give us a better chance rather than having to shift players out before the jigsaw can be finished. There's a lot to unpack there, but it's worth it! First off GFP were reported to have paid £11M for the club badge, membership of EFL and some £27M of debt. That's some haircut Sandgaard took and GFP will have to do the same unless we are promoted. They will need to write off losses if they sell on OR alternatively they might end up owning a very valuable Championship Club. We clearly have a top six budget in League One. Whilst spending and allocation has't been optimum in the past, it appears that the players signed this year in January and summer windows have replaced / improved upon their predecessors. Was it perfect? No, but we do now have six players who are ever present this season AND consistent. The option that's a glaring ommission above is quite simply the managers choice to start every game with three defensive midfielders. And that through injury to Edwards, we've seen Small selected week in week out. And that Jones has stuck to 5-3-2. Then add that Mitchell was left out of the squad. So let's see what happens next, because Saturday was hopefully a wake-up call plus certain players now available. And then let's see how the club assess the first 20 odd games / what we might do in the January 2025 window. We should also understand that without knowing the internal dynamics of CAFC it's impossible to know how this pans out by Christmas. In other words will Jones suddenly switch to three up front and/or a more attacking midfield? And will Mitchell return to the back three on Saturday, Tuesday etc.? If nothing else, Mannion, Mitchell, Jones, Gillesphey, Coventry and Ramsay have been a resounding success all season. So let's see where we are at 5pm on Saturday. |

We lose one game and the usual crap comes out .. why are these new breed of supporters sitting there waiting for us to slip up then suddenly bang they come to life don’t hear anything from them when we win ..
It’s called football you win you lose you draw it’s never changed .. not even Man City win every game .. get a life enjoy our great club finally moving forward in the right direction , trouble is again that everyone wants it to happen now it might not we might be in this league another season or even two but at least we can talk about promotion after 14/15 years of neglect .. finally we have owners who invested lots of money in the structure and teams on the pitch .. but hate to tell you this not going to happen overnight

The first three games, that we won, were close and even the 2-0 home win over Bolton could have gone the other way. We haven't been convincing in any of our games this season and since those three games we have won one (against the team that have won one and lost six!) drawn one and lost two. That doesn't suggest that the team/squad/performances going in the right direction. In actual fact, it suggests quite the opposite. I do agree with you that there are some on here that swing from being convinced that we are going to win the league to believing that all the players are rubbish but that is, just, because fans are emotional about their club. Your excessive optimism (which I don't have a problem with) is just different to how other fans see it. There is no need to insult fans that see if differently to you, in the same way that you don't deserve criticism for your view. |

Instead of the Campbell loan and the Hylton nonsense if they had spent another circa £1m - £1.5m on a couple of players where we are severely lacking then we would be in with a very good shout. This is now their second season and whilst we have improved defensively we are pretty average elsewhere mainly due to the lack of creativity. |

Yep I just didn’t get this either……and definitely didn’t get it when things stagnated after the initial 7 came in……..we didn’t need five a side kickabout pitch in the car park we needed creativity in our midfield…… |

I don't believe we're in a false position based on our performances. We're a little higher than we should be due to the extra game played. If others win their games in hand then we'll be between 6-10th, which I believe is fair.
Last game and Reading aside (which was just one goal really), we've been solid at the back. We've not created loads but overall we're creating more than we're letting the opposition have.
It's not pretty football and some results could've gone against us, but the same can be said of the ones we lost. We were on top wehn Reading scored the screamer. We had some great chances against Blackpool to get back into that game despite us being very poor overall.

As a follower for many decades i have to go along with K.H.A .I have seen too many false dawns to be convinced of anything else.
BB says we are heading in the right irection I belive we were once in 2nd place Where are we now, and falling I think we will plataue at around 10 12th and that will be us throuout the season to the end.Unless miracles happen in the Jan window, But i won't hold my breath
He says football is a win draw then lose Even Man City lose sometimes. True unless you are Birmingham City. Win Win Win.I hope May isn't playing when we meet them. A man NJ should have 'made up'with, and not forced him out. But hey!,this is Charlton Nothing changes. It all started with selling Eddie Firmani, back in the 50s
I am not in a position to truely criticise B B. Who i have seen, contribute a lot on I T V.But excessive optimism can make one cringe. Especially, when you are a Charlton supporter

Especially, when you are a Charlton supporter On the one hand BB is correct in that criticism surfaces after each defeat. However, the criticism is based upon observing the games, especially first XI selection and the overly defensive way our midfield plays. We simply aren't creating enough chances in open play - the question is whether Nathan Jones is able to address this challenge over the coming weeks and months? The beauty of message boards is that fans can react and post during and after the game. Then later on in the week reflect upon direction plus chances of success. I'd say that we still have decent chances of making the play-offs. These might vapourise over the next couple of months OR Leaburn and Edwards availability plus a fresh approach might see us start winning again? |

True unless you are Birmingham City. Win Win Win.I hope May isn't playing when we meet them. A man NJ should have 'made up'with, and not forced him out. But hey!,this is Charlton Nothing changes. It all started with selling Eddie Firmani, back in the 50s I am not in a position to truely criticise B B. Who i have seen, contribute a lot on I T V.But excessive optimism can make one cringe. Especially, when you are a Charlton supporter On the one hand BB is correct in that criticism surfaces after each defeat. However, the criticism is based upon observing the games, especially first XI selection and the overly defensive way our midfield plays. We simply aren't creating enough chances in open play - the question is whether Nathan Jones is able to address this challenge over the coming weeks and months? The beauty of message boards is that fans can react and post during and after the game. Then later on in the week reflect upon direction plus chances of success. I'd say that we still have decent chances of making the play-offs. These might vapourise over the next couple of months OR Leaburn and Edwards availability plus a fresh approach might see us start winning again? You commented on a previous post that we had a top 4 budget…..others have posted stating we have a top 6 budget…….question though is can we really honestly see ourselves as a top 6 team come next May based on the summer recruitment and our first 7 games……🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 |
