It's always disappointing to surrender a two goal lead, but the torrent of moaning by Charlton fans on social media after yesterday's away point hardly seems justified. A thin squad was looking tired.
Those who want to replace Nathan Jones rarely have a name to offer, because quality managers are hardly likely to be enticed by a relegation battle at Charlton.
It might be worth bearing in mind Frank Lampard's comments about Charlton in yesterday's Football League Paper: 'I've got respect for the Charlton team. Teams will come here [The Valley] and find it hard.'
On managers, it's worth watching the hour long interview with Alan Curbishley on You Tube ('The Managers', Boyle Sports).
It further convinced me that Murray Mints should have let Curbs see out his contract so that the board would have had time to find a better replacement than Dowie.
Curbs said that he regretted that he hadn't had one more go at management but his year long legal battle with West Ham was a black mark against him, making him seem like a trouble maker. What he was getting offered were teams in the Premier League relegation places or Championshio clubs.
Also he was enjoying a different lifestyle after missing his children growing up
