don't know why you are quoting me when Im being critical of Cocu?

Yeh sorry it was a mistake 

[Bob The Badger]

Just a timely reminder.

In his first season in charge Cloughie lead the team to finish one place lower than the previous season.

I'm glad the internet wasn't around then.

You know mate, that’s not at all negative, it’s telling it like it was and is today.

Anyone dismissing it is in denial.

You have to look at what life is saying and to me it’s saying we are not good enough and average sides are making us look poor. The players do not seem to have that passion or willingness in their performance. 

[Richard246]

no mobility in midfield 

Sorry if people don't like it Bielek is not good enough for me

IF evans is fit he would not be in my team

its quite simple we need to go 4-3-1-2 back to basis 2 up front its clear to see not rocket science 

For me pack the midfield with energy 

Roos must be replaced confidence gone 

my team against Wigan would be

                                                   Hamer

   Bogle             Bielek or Evans            Davies                Lowe

                       Holmes         Shinnie         Knight 

                                              Martin

                                Marriott                  Waghorn 

 

We need to get Marriott on the pitch fit and firing and for me first name on sheet

To be fair we did build todays team on a shoestring,  not like the millions we spent in 13/14 when we consistently outplayed teams.

Oh errr.

[Derbyram1983]

Calm down divvies. We haven’t got good enough players end of. As bad as it sounds as long as we don’t go down we will be ok.

Give the man a chance. He had less than 4 weeks to bring anybody in. 

Hitler invaded Poland in less time.

Now I'm no scientist but annexing a country seems a bigger job than getting 11 men to play half decent football.

I snapped a shoe lace earlier. Was simply going to buy some new ones but at those prices, I'll just make do with a patch up job..

Agreed players are average but so are Charlton. Sheff Utd were a league one team 3 years ago.  It is about decent man management.  Lampard inspired the players and unified them.  Would you be inspired of motivated when you look at Cocu?

Judging by his signings so far, I'd be really worried in giving him time to bring in his own players. 

I don’t think any of our summer signings were cocus.

Not sure why anyone would need to be inspired by the way he looks. The Grande armee followed a grumpy little fat bloke across an entire continent.

Isn't it better to be inspired by ideas?

[lukedcfc]

 Very poor performance, the second goal was embarrassing.

That team had been built over a number of years though, just needed a decent manager to come in and get them playing football.

I'm fairly sure there were some similarly insipid performances under Frank's tenure.

There were also good ones, name a really good performance under Cocu.

So you think Cocu has the potential to be one of the greatest managers ever ?

???????

[Ken Tram]

Left on 89th minute. First time I've ever left early. First thing I heard on the road outside, was two guys also saying the same thing, and another saying it was his second time ever leaving early.

Lots of people left as the third goal was scored.

Holmes' energy was uplifting.

COYR - next game'll be better. 

[nfb]

We know its not good, but surely Cocu should be given time to bring in a few more players of his choice... there have been issues with players attitude/application for years, we have been saying it was a rebuild job for years, since Wembley really, When Frank came we thought yes, its gonna happen now, and he brought in loans which did a job, then they were gone.... Ladies and Gentlemen we are back where we startef pre Frank, the job still needs doing. At some point we have to bite the bullet and let it happen, and that takes time. End of.

Pretty sure Hitler had a army of over 10 million soldiers that might be why.

I think all we need is bonding session for the lads.

Actually, I noticed the Charlton defenders high-fiving each other ... at times ... and the team spirit seemed good.
