It has been getting worse. What is wrong?<BR/><BR/>I don't think it can be solved just on the training ground, time for a dose of reality and a clear the air chat.<BR/><BR/>Again both you and Cambridge are starting to come around to the same point that surely we all have to ponder.<BR/><BR/>How good/effective is the relationship between the players and the manager.<BR/><BR/>Whatever Saturday brings I hope the fans don't turn on him. Frustration and anger will not bring a soloution.<BR/><BR/><BR/>John.H GreenwichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-36030496893323622002008-10-22T09:40:00.000+01:002008-10-22T09:40:00.000+01:00It was a long train journey home last night..........It was a long train journey home last night.......<BR/><BR/>Despair and frustration aren't going to get us anywhere, except as you mention BA to finally pierce the bubble of false expectation with regard to promotion or play-offs. <BR/><BR/>Our table position reflects accurately our inability to compete for the full 90mins.<BR/><BR/>I think all of us have been aware for some time that the attitude of the team is so fragile. Once it turns( often for no clear reason)heads drop and we are on the back foot, vulnerable to loss if the opposition just hang in there and fight it out to the finish.<BR/><BR/>It is a scandal when beaten by Palace and Sheffield both managers and their local press highlighted the same points that their teams "wanted it more" and "Charlton didn't seem up for it". Not even the most blinkered supporter who was at both games could deny the strong element of truth in these comments.<BR/><BR/>I am no psychologist but last night players in the end did not want the ball. How did we get to this point and what is behind it?<BR/><BR/>I have no answers....but I believe in these players because I have seen many of them play well ( Youga last night) they have the ability but no consistency or team spirit.<BR/><BR/>Do they respond to Pardew, is he seen as a motivator? or a moaning tyrant? What we do know things ain't working and for me it begins and ends with attitude.<BR/><BR/>Saturday is a huge game for this manager and HIS squad.<BR/> <BR/>Cambridge AddickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-32009255058246008612008-10-21T23:22:00.000+01:002008-10-21T23:22:00.000+01:00Pardew's excuse for the last two defeats seems to ...Pardew's excuse for the last two defeats seems to be the loss of Zheng Zhi, which sounds a bit bizarre seeing as he was pretty poor in his only appearance against Ipswich.<BR/>I'm beginning to see what next season's season-ticket offer could be.
