Re: Well done the board

Steve Thompson told me that Wayne is a 'good manager'.

I'd love to visit his home planet one day!!

Bouchard /Labadie

Reading a book called 'Living in the volcano' (about football management). Shaun Derry describes Boucard and Labadie as 'big characters' and how they had a huge slagging match during a training session. The fact they are both in our squad is described as 'bizarre'. A neat story that I think sums up ...

Re: Orient

Typical Daggers performance in front of a decent crowd.

Why are we so poor when more than 2,000 people turn up!?

Re: Prediction v Leyton Orient

Can't forsee anything other than a defeat, especially as there will be a decent crowd.

3-1 Orient with Cureton scoring our goal.

Abu Obileye

Hasn't been in either of Charlton's match day squads so far this season.

Worth trying to bring him back to the club? Either permanently or on loan?

Re: Predictions for the season...

Relegation. We lost four of our best players in the close season; two of them to a team in the league below us. Fixture draw wasn't kind to us and it is feasible that we will be bottom early doors. Many if the teams who struggled last season have strengthened whilst we, in my humble opinion, are wea...

Re: Howell

To lose four of our best players is a huge concern, especially as there's little sign of quality replacements coming in!

Absolute body blow to lose Doey.

Anyone else fear for us next season?

Re: West Ham announcement

This is bad news for the club. Many of fans joined because Premiership football was too expensive. As of 2016/17, they will be able to watch much better football for not much more money. The £289 seats will be up in the gods but, still, it's a pretty good deal. I anticipate that, if we are still a l...

Re: Hands up.. Who honestly thought we would win that?

Half time at Cambridge I thought we were odds on for relegation. Okay we've had some poor results since but a great turnaround in form overall from the squad. I was part of the manager out brigade but he also deserves some credit. Still wonder what's best for the club longer term but he has turn thi...

Re: Hands up.. Who honestly thought we would win that?

Brilliant result; certainly didn't see it coming.

Very important one as many of the teams at the bottom got good results.

Two more wins!!

Re: Well done boys.

Fantastic result and a very important one. Eleven games to go and many, though not all, are against teams pushing for promotion. Three more wins would do it for me!

Re: Most painful 2-0 win ever

Anyone know why Abu was withdrawn so late in the day?

Here's hoping Mark Cousins makes a speedy recovery!

Re: Well played lads...

Pretty poor second half I thought. Showed spirit though. We look solid at the back as well. Lots of big games coming up!!
