Match Day Thread Shrewsbury (h)

Another dire bit of defending and we're 0-1 down to Shrewsbury, and frankly, deservedly so.

 

Shrewsbury ensure safety with a win so they'll defend better than we do for the rest of the game

 

Shockin, juss shockin

 

I still think it will end in a draw.

 

There you go. Thanks Dobbo

 

Chuks to get the winner

 

Don't go Dobbo, don't go

 

What leads you to that bizarre conclusion?

 

A wild guess

 

It all fizzled out.

 

Scott's cunning plan to replace Dobbo with Coventry is sheer lunacy. Dobbo is better in every aspect of the game, and apart from Bexley you won't find a fan who agrees with the decision. Scott should hang his head in shame.

 

Scott hopefully will have minimal say on recruitment now, I am guessing that Jones agreed to the job with certain conditions, and one being he has the final say on players coming in.

 

The story of our season.

 

CAFC is truly adrift in a Sargasso Sea of mediocrity.

• 14 games unbeaten.
• But only 4 of those 14 were victories.
• And only 4 victories in our last 27 league games. That's well over half the season.
• And that 14 game unbeaten run has lifted Charlton 4 places up the league table.
• Only the bottom four teams have won fewer, or an equal number, of games.
• 6th place is 21 points above us.

16th - where we are now - is the highest we can finish even with a last day win.
56 points the most we can finish with.
Allowing for adjustments (3 points for a win) our lowest tally in the 3rd tier for 98 years.
We are not only truly a 3rd Division side, we're losing our grip even on that status.

I assume there was not much celebrating at the Valley when the full time whistle blew.
Shrews fans had more cause to. Their team are mathematically safe now.
A target Charlton achieved only the previous Saturday.

 

Well that might of cured my grandson of his desire to go to a live match. It's certainly cured me if wanting to go very often. Since the last time I went all sorts of parking restrictions have been put in place making almost impossible to park and the football wasn't much better than at Bromley which I can walk to.

 

Such a shame about the parking restrictions.

The area around the Valley was one of the last in London I think not to have such restrictions placed in every little quiet back road.
I always used to park on Wolfe Crescent, or maybe St Alfege Road.
Not anymore.
