Robinson said no goal and no sending-off although I thought the sending-off was an easier decision than the goal!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191662363898215747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-52548167896500958312017-08-06T20:26:16.836+01:002017-08-06T20:26:16.836+01:00Jay - it's a fair point and I am not carping (...Jay - it's a fair point and I am not carping (honest). I want us to be as successful as the next person but the last three years have told us repeatedly that Duchatelet isn't geared for it, so it's very hard to see how we can achieve it. Every promotion we have achieved since Lennie's time has been on the back of reasonable investment. I don't think we have seen that this Summer and, as I said, I am far from convinced Duchatelet is that bothered about promotion given the additional operating loss he would need to cover. There are plenty who are pleased or at least not bothered if we lose and I understand that (and I have been ambivalent) but only because they believe it hastens the day it goes rather than because we enjoy seeing our club being beaten or humiliated.

The players will be able to use that experience to draw on for the rest of the season. Robinson has done exceptionally well to develop a team spirit we haven't seen for years. Fosu, Clarke and Da Silva were excellent (as was Holmes as usual) but the two CBs with Kashi and FC were a real defensive wall. Couldn't really judge the two main incidents from the upper Covered End, but from Sky highlights I'd say no goal and no red card. <br /><br />On the negative side the ticket queues were chaotic. Mate of mine had his season ticket cheque cashed in May, but still hadn't received it by post, so had to queue and missed the first 20 mins..The hand dryers in upper Covered End weren't working - no real drama at all but indicative of cutbacks reminiscent of the latter days of Jiminez/Slater. Hear that the lower north experienced some similar logistical issues.<br /><br />To end on a positive I thought the fans were outstanding.<br /><br />Pembury AddickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-24619955181065408832017-08-05T20:01:52.251+01:002017-08-05T20:01:52.251+01:00I plan on being there Tony 😀.I plan on being there Tony 😀.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191662363898215747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-50419248295866551752017-08-05T19:25:48.636+01:002017-08-05T19:25:48.636+01:00I plan on being there Tony 😀.I plan on being there Tony 😀.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191662363898215747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-21195719825143489252017-08-05T19:17:13.628+01:002017-08-05T19:17:13.628+01:00Nice to have you back Dave.

Unlike some who now think the regime have the club's best interests at heart this vinegar pissing customer has not been fooled by the few signings made by Robinson....There is still a long way to go before Charlton have a squad of the right size & ability to mount a serious promotion challenge. At least the team have got the season up and running today....let's see where we are in 45 games time - I reckon we'll do well to be in the play - off places.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
