trousers Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 Charlton coach Mark Kinsella: "We are planning for next season and while I would like to say that we are planning for a season in the Championship we are all not stupid. "League One is going to be difficult for all of us to take but we have got to get on with it. We will probably be favourites to come straight back up but it won't be that easy. "We have got four home games left and it is up to the players to give the fans some performances now to be proud of." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/7937198.stm I'd rather have played Charlton with them still standing a realistic chance of survival. After yesterday's draw against Preston they are now publically acknowledging that they are down. You know what happens to such a team's performance now don't you....
Mole Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 If they are planning for next season they will want to take us down with them because we'd be no threat to their title aspirations.
SaintRobbie Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 (edited) If they are planning for next season they will want to take us down with them because we'd be no threat to their title aspirations. Under the current regime I'd agree. We need some hope once we relegate - that will mean a removal of Lowe and his manager. If we do that we might be able to survive in League 1 for a season before rebuilding. If not, we're on our way to League 2... its as simple as that. Edited 22 March, 2009 by SaintRobbie

In 2 years time it is completely feasible Bournemouth will be above us in the football league.
VectisSaint Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 In 2 years time it is completely feasible Bournemouth will be above us in the football league. No to mention Aldershot...
SaintRobbie Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 In 2 years time it is completely feasible Bournemouth will be above us in the football league. I'd say - again if the current decision-making regime is in place - the odds of that are probably about 50/50, its not just feasible, its very possible.

Their players will be spending most of their time form now onwards scratching around trying to find a club for next season.Charlton will probably go into administration very soon.Did they still have a parachute payment this season? Must be lamentable management down in SE4 (or is it SE10)
70's Mike Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 Their players will be spending most of their time form now onwards scratching around trying to find a club for next season.Charlton will probably go into administration very soon.Did they still have a parachute payment this season? Must be lamentable management down in SE4 (or is it SE10) and raising their game to impress any future employer ?
Thedelldays Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 If they are planning for next season they will want to take us down with them because we'd be no threat to their title aspirations. i take it by that you mean we will offer no fight....like yesterday...?
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 If they are planning for next season they will want to take us down with them because we'd be no threat to their title aspirations. I think a lot of clubs in L1 will be anticipating 4 or 6 points gained when playing us next season. If we are relegated that is, and sadly I think we will be.
Mole Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 i take it by that you mean we will offer no fight....like yesterday...? For 70 minutes we did **** all!
Graffito Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 If we can't beat Charlton we don't deserve to stay up. I think we'll beat them.
Mole Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 If we can't beat Charlton we don't deserve to stay up. I think we'll beat them. I'm very worried about the Charlton game. I just get the feeling they'll be under no pressure and will want to take us down with them.
Graffito Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 I was talking to a Charlton fan who said something similar. He was hoping they'd now relax and play better. I still think we'll beat them though.
Whitey Grandad Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 If we can't beat Charlton we don't deserve to stay up. I think we'll beat them. Some people were saying the same about Derby...... and QPR...... and Blackpool......

hamster Posted 22 March, 2009 Posted 22 March, 2009 A good battle cry. Very clever imho. Well done mate. Bring it on. This is going to be a great game. I bet they will sell out there allocation no problem, witness the demolition of their team I hope.
Berkshire Saint Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 I bet they will sell out there allocation no problem. Really? When we were both in the Premiership I seem to remember them not taking too many numbers down to us.
Northant Saint Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 I'd say - again if the current decision-making regime is in place - the odds of that are probably about 50/50, its not just feasible, its very possible. Please dont slit your wrists.
Saint Bones Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 Well we still have everything to play for... So I bloody well hope Wotte still has the troops charged for this Battle.
itchen Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 Their players will be spending most of their time form now onwards scratching around trying to find a club for next season.Charlton will probably go into administration very soon.Did they still have a parachute payment this season? Must be lamentable management down in SE4 (or is it SE10) SE7 (SE10 is Greenwich and SE4 is Brockley) - that's your free quick guide to South East London geography. I have some CAFC supporting friends coming down for that game and I think we're all just going to go along with a sense of fatalism. I've not written off Saints yet though.
rallyboy Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 With the Charlton game we are well beyond 'must win' territory. It is now a personal thing, an acid test of the season. The message to Wotte and all the players is - If you end up drawing 0-0 at home to the division's whipping boys you may as well just put dresses on and dance for us, all the way down to League Two. Alternatively, find some fight from somewhere and show everyone that we are good enough to stay up. Nail the Charlton coffin lid on and bury them!
Graffito Posted 23 March, 2009 Posted 23 March, 2009 Some people were saying the same about Derby...... and QPR...... and Blackpool...... Some people may have done but I didn't. I'm saying it now because Charlton are 11 points adrift at the bottom of the division with a GD of -8 compared with Saints.
