Houston Canary 0 Posted December 29, 2009 [quote user="singing canary"]the fixture is 17th april 2010.[/quote]Your original point made it sound like you thought we had not yet played them. Obviously we still have a game to play against them later on as we play all sides twice and that is normally done once each in the 1st and 2nd half of the season. Thus the highlghted portion of your orininal point by the other commenter. But yes, Charlton seem to be sh!tt!ng the bed lately so a win at Wallsall would have put us in 2nd.

YankeeCanary 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Charlton hardly seem to be coming apart at the seams. They are unbeaten over the past nine games, averaging just over two points a game ( promotion form ). They have dropped points in their recent two home games but their opposition were not exactly at the wrong end of the table. It is a relative thing because Norwich have been doing so well. We obviously need to keep it up so that we can move above Charlton in the standings. Hopefully, this will happen after Saturday''s games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
singing canary 0 Posted December 29, 2009 the thing is now the confidence norwich must have . our poor form was at the start of the season and with any team it takes time for the players and management to gell. charlton flew out of the blocks and at one point it looked as if it was a two way race between them and leeds. charlton had two players sent off saturday and must be getting a bit nervous with norwich chomping at thier heels. i just have a feeling charlton will now lose alot of pace over the next couple of months .

singing canary 0 Posted December 29, 2009 the thing is as i said charlton flew out the blocks to start with . saturday they lost two key players who will be suspended . charltons form in november was not anything to write home about . colchester are the team we should be worried about .

YankeeCanary 0 Posted December 29, 2009 I don''t think I took your comment out of context Houston. Take a good look at it yourself, and also try to get an understanding of how a football manager assesses his teams performance ( or anyone who understands football for that matter ) then read your words and see if they make sense. Here I''ll play your words back to you in larger font ( although I''m not sure it will help you ):"they are sh!tt!ng the bed quite badly at the moment" My response was, "No, they are not, for the reasons I have stated." Nothing out of context there regarding your very clear words. The Charlton comeback to tie against Swindon was after going down to nine men at the end of the first half. Apart from that tie, Swindon had won six of their previous seven games. Brentford had been going at a pace of almost two points a match for their past several games when they tied Charlton. It''s not necessary to be a genius to understand situations but it is advisable to put your brain in gear before using extreme words to incorrectly define how a club is performing.

Feeding chicken bones to dogs is not good for the animal. You see, I could argue about non-topic stuff too, if you like but it doesn''t change the fact that I have clearly stated several times in this debate re: Charlton''s RECENT form. [:^)][/quote]....and I have clearly pointed out to you several times Houston that FORM is different from RESULTS over three games. However, your long demonstrated desire to be right on almost any subject will cause you to continue to beat the drum. You could be a Portsmouth supporter. [:D] Now, if you want to focus on someone that is right in this thread, why don''t you drop your own ego and celebrate the input of "promotion chasing CT" who is on an incredible string of predicting correct results.

Houston Canary 0 Posted December 30, 2009 Smudger, the original target of this thread, was the one who referenced him. I, the new target, called for input from him. Now you are asking me to celebrate something I and the original target revived? Uh uh, I already was. You can argue about FORM all you want and what it means to you. Having 2 men sent off in 1 game is not good form. Choking away an incredible comeback and lead to tie at home is not good form. Charlton appear to have lost the killer instinct, the ability to shut a team down, something a 2nd place team normally has in order to become a 2nd place team. That is not good form. When did you become the arbiter of the definition of "form" anyways? The results of late are most likely indicitive of their form unless you think the opposition are just lucky.How''s this to satisfy your ego. By your definition, you are right and I am wrong. According to my understanding of what I am saying (and I should know), I am right. I tend to think you are missing something here. You obviously missed Smudger and I celebrating CT''s omnicience earlier in the thread as you asked me to start celebrating it now. That''s okay, New Yawk.
