v Charlton Athletic (h) - 4/1/26

[bluebruce]

Just seen it on a clearer image, Pickering definitely didn't touch him.

Completely disagree.

They might get lucky with someone ( like they did with JDT and Eustace) who could keep us competitive as opposed to this absolute fraud.

Looks like a dive

Rule No 1: you do not lose at home to a relegation rival if you want to stay up

We are going down

Agree, but isn't that the story for most Championship teams though? Only a few can *afford* to keep the squad together so for most it's groundhog day? Given PSR, the general finances and players agitating for a move to the PL we have to work with a high turnover squad.

We’re nowhere near to being in PSR trouble.

We didn’t sell anyone to a PL club.

5 k on?

[AvRover]

Those who know me know I'm passionate about this club, but this purgatory takes the biscuit. I will boycott now until Venkys go. Enough is enough and it has been for 15 years.

Venkys need to go and we need a fresh start. It doesn't matter if we have to start over like Wimbledon did. Following a club is amount enjoyment, pride and moments of success and heartbreak. Currently there's no pride, no enjoyment and only heartbreak.

Us? Yes.

Celtic? No.

However, this is why Celtic are so successful. Because their fans demand nothing less than greatness. Our fans are happy we were successful in the 1800's, 1920's and the 90's.

End of the day, it doesn't matter. Do not let the opposition get in to a position where this can happen. Better defending required.

On the bright side, the darkest hour is before dawn. Relegation may force the owners out, finally.

Looks like O'Riordan and De Neve coming on

None of those things applied to us, and even if they did you don't see that level of turnover at clubs who are in and around the play-offs. 

Find me a team that finished that close to the play-offs that has forced out an entire squad of players and replaced them with cheap no-experience no marks.

If we got lucky, they’d find a way to balls it up, it’s pointless, history tells us that.

De Neve? 🤣 That'll help. 

[chaddyrovers]

Never a pen. Dive by the Charlton player 

[Bohinen1983]

Absolutely shite, no patterns of play, no character, no identity.  

Why on earth did we get rid of practically the entire side that finished 7th?  

Shockingly poor side. 

Am I right in my understanding that our wingbacks (providing attacking outlets down the flanks) are Miller and Pickering.. No disrespect, but neither is blessed with pace or an attacking prowess. That's not to say they're not useful defenders, but wing-backs? 

GK: Pears 

Defenders: Picking, Miller, Atcheson, McCoughlin, Pratt

CDMS: Trodstadt, Hickman


That's 8 defensively minded players.

Leaves us with Baradji and Cantwell to do something for Ohashi-  who just presses defenders, has a shit first touch and appalling finishing instincts. 

Need some pace, trickery, guile and someone that has good movement off the ball, decision making and can hold it up a bit..

Wonder what they were thinking when they assembled this side..

Nah not with Rudy in the building

Everything is irrelevant until Venkys die

Says everything about my apathy that I'm worrying more about some players getting some bookings so my bets can come in, than I am about us scoring again.

That's it.

Got to agree. I think even Allardyce at his firefighting best would struggle to get a tune out of this lot. Where are the leaders? Where is the quality? Where is the goal threat? Not that I'm saying Ismael is unsackable, but the squad has been starved of investment and now we're facing the consequences.

On Derby’s bench.

So we needed to make subs but yet again keep the same failing system? Amazing stuff.

Got kicked. Threw himself down when he felt it, but he was kicked.

Ismael out. Rudy out. Pasha out. Venkys fucking out.

Reminds me of Sid James in Carry on at Your Covenience, playing a 1970's union rep.

"That's it! All out!"
