Which totally destroys the "Nobody else could do better than Thorn" arguments bandied around last season.
We didn't replace him. We were relegated. Fact.
Into a new season, we were thrown into turmoil which resulted in a 4-game losing streak; which had the potential to deliver 12 points.
You'll say - predictably - we wouldn't have won them all. Conjecture. I'll say we lost them all. Fact
Knocked the doors for Nellist during his Election succes ,not a chance of corruption with that guy ,no snout in the trough like they've all been at for the last 15yrs,can't believe he lost his seat in the locals.
Politics is dead......ideology is yesterdays news....
Absolutely pointless voting these days.....total waste of my time....

Not conjecture at all. If you prepare a forecast you absorb the evidence from prior outcomes. The best most optimistic projection is 3 points. We could have 12 points. We could play a full strength Arsenal team and win 15 nil. Unlikely.
You said a 12 point handicap in your original post. So do you actually believe we would have 15 points now if we hadn't acted as we did?

Do you know what conjecture means? It means a statement of opinion. As such for you to state one thing, and for me to state another - well, they're both conjecture. See?
If you wish to look at a mathematical extrolation of form and forecast what the points haul may have been with some science; well, let's see. We were unbeaten in the league and won one in the cup. If we're have continued that form, the points accumulated over that four game term would be between 4 and 12. Let's meet in the middle and call it 8 shall we?
We got 0.
Whether the points would have been 4, 6, 7, 10 or 12, I don't know. Neither do you. But it would have been more than 0. Of that I'm sure. And thus we were handicapped by Waggott's actions, certainly
His opinion of thorn is certainly universally disproven.
Back...... to....... Thorn...... yawn. Quelle surprise.
Besides, where's your promised glowing biographical account of Waggott's stella times at Charlton? All the class are sitting nicely and can't wait to read your homework.....
Well he hasn't had a managerial post, so therefore hasn't got a win-ratio. How the hell is it possible to analyse him without one?

Point is LS, we'll never know. Like trying to second guess how James Dean would have aged
He's dead? Bloody hell!
There's more. I've got something terrible to tell you about the Easter Bunny and Waggott's time at Charlton...
Now you are really proving Grendel's point that you are changing the direction of every thread into a dig at Waggott.
What, he's been criticising someone for taking every topic off thread to have a go at someone they don't like? A tad hypocritical, that.
As is somebody doing it after previously crticising somebody for doing it, etc,etc.
So after 4 games we beat an inferior league team in a cup and get 3 draws one of which is against a team bottom of the league.
In the next 4 games we win a cup match against superior opposition and lose 3 league games.
In your myopic la la land that gets 8 points discounting the away issue we have.
That's neither conjecture or fact. That's stupidity.
