That's the question posed by one Addick the other day in relation to Nathan Jones. As far as a vociferous minority (?) it has never begun as they do not like the appointment.
Quite who they think should have been appointed is unclear. Bowyer is sometimes mentioned, but he has a nice number in Monteserrat.
3,000 Addicks will be going to the crucial match at Reading tomorrow which reflects well on our fans. Reading are coming into form and I'm far from sure that Jones can turn round a disjointed squad after a few days on the training ground. My guess would be a draw.
More than poor performances, the gloom and negativity of Charlton fans is getting me down. Last year my non-league club was relegated. People were disappointed, but the manager was reappointed for a 14th year and people have continued to enjoy their football and the banter at the game.
Charlton may be relegated and obviously that is not what we want (I still think there are four teams worse than us, plus our goal difference is better). But if we get relegated we play in League Two and could well be contestants for promotion. Gloom merchants will hold out the prospect of the National League, but remember that Stockport County went down to the National League North and bounced back. Loyal fans will stick with the team, although obviously some only want to watch higher level football.
How long will the honeymoon last?
ReplyDeleteNot long I would suggest.
The Messiah played the same formation that hasn't worked for weeks. Picked some of the worst players as did Appleton.
When it was clear by half-time the wing backs weren't functioning along with Ladapo, he makes one defensive change. Then waits for us to go a goal down before making any further subs.
We need to change to a 4.4.2 system or even 4.5.1 and stop giving away soft goals.
Relegation looms, without significant change. Even then it's going to be a struggle.
