Justin Edinburgh's days in charge of Gillingham could be numbered. Poor defensive displays and the lack of a Clean Sheet in 27 matches isnt great.

Are my former home town team Charlton Athletic starting to get their act together..?

The ongoing fan dissatisfaction with the owner, Roland Duchatelet has been a dreadful distraction and unfortunately, all the time he and his mouthpiece, Katrien Miere are still there, it won't go away. As far as off the pitch events are going, Charlton are a basket-case of a club.

But Russell Slade has made them difficult to beat on the pitch. Only 3 league defeats so far. OK, so 8 draws so far this season is 16 points dropped, but this time last year they were losing the tight matches. Now they're getting at least something out of the close confrontations.

It isn't spectacular and the issue of the owner simply has to be resolved, but I think Slade is doing a good job with the team and as long as he can keep the general trend (on the pitch) upwards then Charlton could possibly even get back to the Championship in the next season or two.

Dare i say that you were lucky to get a point last a couple of weeks ago against Gillingham . Even Russell Slade felt that Charlton were lucky to escape with a point!

Russell Slade is a good coach, very dependable and he speaks well when in interviews or as a pundit. He did an excellent job at Orient and i think is a good coach to lead Charlton forward. The only issue with him is he always requires a fair bit of time to finally get going. But he has had history of working with difficult owners, just look at working with Vincent Tan.

Owners make a huge difference to clubs. What is happening at the Valley is just not right. The fans are right Duchatelet does need to go.

Oldham lost 1-0 to local rival Rochdale which we were poor (well awful) in first half and Rochdale took advantage in that and score five mins before half time, we were better in second half and had couple of chances to equaliser but in whole we never really test Dale goalie and had to thank our goallie to keep it 1-0.

Oldham stay in 22nd place but it look like other team around us didn't win, Oldham need to start playing 90 mins instead of one half which they have been doing so we can start winning more matches.

At last, some decent justice served by the FA.

A pretty good result against Scunny in the cup at the weekend though.

Do you mean me lol!

A good appointment, though him and our chairman, Lee Power have known each over for over 25 years when they were both players at Norwich. One thing which stood out in the press conference what Sherwood said is that we need more experienced players. You can say that again; our oldest player in the squad is 27/28 and you definitely need experienced heads to get us out of our current predicament; youngsters playing nice tippy-tappy football may win you friends, but not 3 points at the end of 90 minutes.

Our current head coach Luke Williams remains, but Sherwood will have a say in player recruitment, the picking of the team and formations.

Oldham draw 0-0 to AFC Wimbledon which sound like fair result, it sound like poor match to watch were goal from any of two side may made better game to watch, we nearly score winner goal as two of our players hit crossbar and then Clarke put ball over the bar.

This was 11 time out of 16 league matches were Oldham fail to score a goal (12 if you count that own goal by Bury) we stay in 22nd place but three points behind Coventry, Oxford and Swindon who all got 19 points.

Our next two away matches are hard given we play Scunthorpe and Port Vale, we did beat Scunthorpe month ago but given they are lot better at Glanford Park I think they will get one over us next Saturday.

Charlton get rid of another manager (maybe not a surprise given their form this season)

Will they go British again or appoint from abroad.

Changing their manager wont help them. Changing owner would though. Whoever takes over is doomed, players dont want to play for a club when they arent getting the support. Too much support is wasted campaigning against the ownership. If fans focused on the team a little more they may find a change in fortune. Feel sorry for Slade but he was between a rock and a hard place. Sure we will see him again in due course though.

He'd probably be like Glenn Hoddle at Wolves.

Trying to show off and thinking the players ought to be better than they really.

I see made no difference in sacking Flitcroft as they lost 5-1 to Wimbledon mean is twice in four days that Wimbledon score five goals past Bury.

As for Oldham they lost 1-0 to top of table Scunthorpe, it sound like we didn't play too bad until 66 mins where we went down to 10 men and Scunthorpe finally broken deadlock with 10 mins left.

We stay in 22nd place and still three points behind Swindon and Coventry but only score nine goals this season is become worried special none of attack players look like scoring, hopefully we bounce back against Port Vale on Tues night but with Vale good home record I feel it be other 1-0 defeat for Oldham.

Oldham draw 2-2 to Port Vale tonight where sound like we should been 2/3 nil up at half time but didn't took chances, we score three mins after restart but Vale score three mins later and then when in front with 10 mins from time, it look like Oldham going lose again until we score in pretty much last kick of match to probably deserve point.

We now play Peterborough on Saturday which in three of last four matches between these side at Boundary Park been 0-5, 5-4 and 1-5 scoreline, I doubt it be high scoring game but feel Peterborough might nick win against us but hopefully I'm wrong.

I thought it was good point for Oldham given how poor we were against Lincoln on Monday night and I didn't expect us to come away with anything from Kassam Stadium.

Our manager get tactics wrong quite few times this season and one of many reason why we in bottom 4, as I said few times on here I fear this be season that Oldham finally leave League One and drop to League two unless we improve like we did last season but unless new manager come in I can't see that happening.

I wish somebody could explain just what it is that Roland Duchatelet gets out of owning Charlton Athletic. It can't be for the love of the club. Is he really some sort of Dr Evil clone, hiding in his underground lair in Belgium, plotting their downfall. If he is, then I tip my hat to him for executing his plan to perfection so far.

But seriously, what is he getting out of it..? Not money, that's for sure. Nobody ever got rich by owning Charlton (well, the Glikstens did back in the 1930's but they were the only ones who ever did). I believe Msr Duchatelet is good at selling semiconductors. He should go back to doing what he's good at.

It sure as heck aint for the glory. Three managers already this season and we're only in December. That aint gonna win you no trophies.

He's tried asset stripping and failed. His plan to sell off the south end of the stadium to build houses went down like a lead fart with Greenwich Borough Council (like similar plans by other owners in the past).


Can anybody PLEASE.... tell me what Roland Duchatelet thinks he can get out of owning Charlton Athletic because I sure as heck can't work it out.

If he's like our owners, I'd guess he's hanging on in the hope of stumbling onto an exit plan that gets less viable with each new layer of ineptitude that gets revealed by complete mismanagent. Fit and proper though, the FA reckon. Load of shit.
