An excellent piece by Richard Cawley of the SLP in which he spells out how trouble has been brewing for weeks between departed manager Karl Robinson and the club. It's a balanced account, but he warns that Charlton's season is on the point of implosion: Trouble brewing for weeks
A very telling last sentence: 'Duchatelet’s Charlton are used to crisis management, but they are unskilled at dealing with it.'
Some Charlton fans think that Jason Pearce has more of the qualities of a Charlton captain than the much respected Chris Solly. Louis Mendez of the SLP is back from his sojourn in the west country eating cream teas and touring Plainmoor.
He has been talking to Pearce who says that it is imperative that Charlton sign a new striker before the transfer window closes: We must land a new striker
As Richard Cawley has tweeted, it's a commonly held view, but there's no harm in repeating it.
Karl Robinson didn't sound too hopeful at the weekend, emphasising all the difficulties. It sounded as if he had been looking his Great Big Book of Excuses again.
Pearce has also leapt to the defence of Ben Amos. This is a captain talking: In defence of the keeper
