How's the Roy Out bandwagon?

We have the most points ever in the PL after this many games.

It's not that long ago Charlton decided Curbishley needed replacing and where are they now.

I don't have a problem with setting the season target as survival and anything more than that is a bonus.

Take the odd scalp, score the odd worldie or two, that's enough for me.

The game is about results, as our manager said, there are no prizes for possession, corners etc.

The vast majority of the Roy Out brigade tend to damn with feint praise and even moan when we win if it's "lucky ".

NO problem with opining Roy should go if any objective reason's rather than it's no fun to watch us performing poorly.

Well, amazingly it has been like that since a football was first kicked.

Hindsight is wonderful

The term bedwetters is not particularly perjorative and in my opinion is a good way to describe the mind set of some on this board.

As for posting on NSC, that is much more abusive than calling someone a bedwetter.

Anyway, enough time spent on this

If we beat Fulham then Roy really has to go.....

Here is how I saw it:
Guaita 6
Ward 6
Mitchell 6
Cahill 7
Kouyate 8
Luka 4 (2 for 'captaincy'
Riedewald 6
Eze 5
Townsend 6 (9 for 'that cross')
Ayew 8
Mateta 6 (10 for his goal)
Benteke 6 (10 for his goal)

The defence in combination - magnificent
Ayew Man of the Match - involved in both goals
Laying the ghost - 'We don't win without Wilf'

Given we had been shipping goals for fun it was hardly surprising Roy set the team up narrow and compact. In effect we had a line of 4 protected by a line of 5 / 6 making us hard to break down and limiting the number of clear-cut chances they had. The 2 goals we scored were bonuses really.
So to pick out the worst player based on that set up is a bit futile really.
However what I did like is the team showed some fight and resilience which had been lacking in the previous 2 defeats.

I’m glad we see it the same way. Oh and if you are going to use words like pejorative then at least make the effort to spell them correctly. This is the problem with Roy supporters, no attention to detail, just look at the points and assume everything is ok.

It certainly proved that they could still be motivated. Every other question mark, was left open. Every player has to take credit for getting a result , but this didn’t hide the many failings embedded in the team, ball retention and distribution remains a major problem throughout the side this being not the only problem but one most in the side suffer from. No body was glaringly worse than anybody else.
And after all the hard work side of this paid off.

It's certainly true that some sections of the Charlton fan base wanted him out but the board did offer him a new contract which he declined.

Curbs did a great job on a limited budget and presumably the board said more of the same please. At that time Curbs was very much a manager on the up and had been linked with Liverpool and England so probably figured it was time to move onto a bigger club.

Curbs was a young manager on the way up Roy has fewer days in front of him than behind.

 


One more point

where we are now reminds me a little of Coppell's last season (1st spell) when we were relegated on the last day (1993?).
Coppell had us playing in a really solid formation with Wright and Bright adding the flair upfront.
It had got us to 3rd only a couple of seasons before.
Then Wright left and we were never quite the same.
At the end of the next season we were playing Coleman, a centre back, as an emergency forward.

Beginning of the next season we started with Coleman still upfront.
We did buy Armstrong that season (but to replace Bright, rather than to play with him) but it was clear we were in a downward trend and the team didn't really have an effective style of play.

This end of season we will be at the same cross roads.
I'm hoping for a different outcome!!!
