Pre-Match Thread Charlton Athletic vs Southend Utd

[Yorkshire Blue]

Show some yourself then Chris.

Can you give some practical examples of how the manager can meaningfully show pride?

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

They should be doing this anyway every week!!!!

 

[MisterStubbs]

I expect to see effort from every player when they cross that white lines. I wouldn’t mind seeing a bit of passion.. or failing that at least some movement on the sidelines from CP as well.

He could stand at Cuckoo Corner before the match making the w****er gesture at coaches of away fans.

Movement on the sideline doesn’t equate good managers though. Martin Allen?

Warnock rants and raves and is successful, Pochettino doesn't but he is also a good coach. At least if the quiet guy let's rip from time to time his players know he is really angry.

Don't mope about on the touchline like all the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Be a bit more positive in your body language.

I look forward to the 7/8 minute mark when Lee Bowyer works out that any kind of ball played into our left back area won’t be covered or defended by Kightly or Macca and White is dragged all over the place and exposed.....

I spoke to a highly rated coach once who said if he was having to rant and rave on the touchline on a Saturday he hadn’t done his job very well Monday to friday....

Arsenal Wenger once said of the difference between his current side (last season) and his invincible side was that his current side were a doddle to work with all week but made him have to graft every Saturday whereas his invincible side made him work hard all week but gave him Saturdays off.....

For all we know, he could well do that behind closed doors.

Also FWIW, Powell doesn’t need to stand on the touchline ranting and raving like a lunatic, when he’s got large swathes of the ground doing it for him

Olde Kings Head on Borough High st is a decent boozer - still a real pub and decent prices for where it is. I go there a lot and definitely can recommend. With West Ham away at Palace mind, it could be a tad busy!
With that in mind, Millwall is just around the corner so probably a no no!!!

That's where i'm going pre-kick off.

It was a fair question from @Yorkshire Blue but, to be fair, that was a very good answer @MK Shrimper

Ta. I know ranting & raving a players gets you nowhere (like Martin Allen) but he's almost anonymous sometimes.

I've just had a look at my tickets for today and I've got row and seat numbers on them. I'm sure that previously we've just sat more or less where we liked. Any one know if allocated seating is enforced?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Wouldn't have thought so...the away stand holds 3,000....and I believe we're taking approx. 1,200

John White to score anytime at 14/1 at skybet. I want JW in the starting line up
