Another odd week in SE7. The ‘Shock’ (sic) departure of Robinson followed by him turning up a few minutes later at Oxford United. And, for my money, hilariously pretty much rolling out the same cliched Football Manager diatribe that we’ve all had to stomach for the last 18 months. The best bit being where in his farewell to Charlton he lyricised about what a tough decision it was only to tell the Oxford reporter that joining them was a’no brainer’!
To be fair to him I can’t blame him for jumping our rudderless ship. Good luck to him and good to see the back of him to. Hopefully the next exit we see will be the Belgium tossed himself, Roland.
Takeover regardless we have a six pointer today, against in form Plymouth Argyle. I expect Bowyer to really change things up and not be scared to pick his own team and formation. However far away that is from the surge we have experienced over recent months.
The Bowyer/Jackson combination could work really well. For however short a period it is allowed to develop. In my mind I see Bowyer as the strict authoritarian and Jackson as the one who would put an arm round players shoulders and offer some encouragement. I got the feeling that half of Robinson’s problem was he wanted to be liked by everybody far to much.
I’ve no idea how we will set up today, I’m pretty sure whatever formation will allow for more than one out and out striker.
All in all, with the absence of a takeover, this is the most excited I’ve been about attending a match day for months.
2-0 Charlton
