What's The Point?

PLYMOUTH ARGYLE 2 CHARLTON ATHLETIC 2

Charlton have performed everything that underlines the campaign.

Bring on the Redvolution now!!!

From the usual first forty five where we play pretty football and then give away a goal with the opposition's first real attempt on goal to snatching a result from a match that seemed destined to be a defeat.

Although this one was different. I was deep into the coverage of Richard Keys on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday (not!!) when just running through in my mind what a draw meant that up came:

Plymouth Argyle 1 Charlton Athletic 2 (Gray 90(pen))

Whilst the delight of 3 points was evident, my mind switched to keeping Pard's in a job until the new year. How unusual such a feeling is. As ardent fans of the Addicks, many of us have come to accept the shortfall of the club over the years and a defeat at Plymouth is no surprise but now we really should be getting results at these places.

The team is not beyond repair but it is who will perform them that needs answering. This came out with a 94th minute equalizer that I cannot deny was deserved but changed the outlook for the Charlton team again.

A point away from home is usually a good thing, that is if you win your home games. The result will again gloss over the cracks that although the selection was improved (the 4-5-1 suiting a better balance away from home), it is still not utilising the squad as is best.

I can see that the team that finished the match at Home Park may well start at St Andrew's. This is less Chris Dickson but restoring Matt Holland after the enforced change. Again there will be no thought in the selection.

LOAN SIGNINGS

Who are we going to get and will they meet the required areas?

Clutching at straws then; we may get a quality centre back to support Mark Hudson but where will the creative, free kick taking midfielder come from?

We urgently need someone to pull the strings. It seems Gray did well behind the striker on Saturday but please don't look to this for a solution. We need some quality but we can also cut some deadwood as well.

I am beyond suggesting who needs to go because I think most selections would be evident on performances and advising Mr Pardew seems a waste of time, because he rarely sees it in front of him.

MOVING ON

The time is now to remain focused on the removal of Pardew. It is imperative that he goes for the good of the club. Many other teams have benefited greatly from this in recent times and we cannot get much worse.

Nice to see SDAP keeping up the good work with the league table and the realistic approach of many other bloggers is reassuring but in support of Pedro45 and the redvolution:

JOIN THE REDVOLUTION NOW!!!
