Best we've played in the last few games. Not easy getting something at Bradford and we really could have had a win.

 

Still with the slightest of hope for an automatic, but we're just as close to missing the playoffs.

 

Hopefully some results go our way tomorrow.

Hope the Brewers can say up, unbelievable run they have been on, looked dead and buried back in January. However managed to climb out the bottom four. League One is proving to be very tight this season, Birmingham wrapped up title but the battle for second is still very much on. Between Wrexham and Wycombe for the automatic place. 

 

Then we have got the battle for the final play off spot, Reading, Leyton Orient, Bolton, Huddersfield and maybe even Blackpool fighting for that place. Blackpool must win today plus the extra game they have against Birmingham to stand any hope. I have got tickets for the Blackpool v Bristol Rovers game on the last game, I'm hoping there's still something to play for both.

 

Bottom end is super tight, between 17th place Wigan Athletic and Bristol Rovers in 21st place could still go down.

Me too, I used to go to see them sometimes when Leicester were away, back when they were a non league side, crazy they made it to the championship.

 

My neighbour is a big Burton fan too, hope they can do it.

I quite admire how Burton have grew as a club, for many years Burton were just a very low non league club, who were either in the southern league premier or southern league midland. Cloughee junior went in there and built them and got them into the football league. Once in the football league club remained quite stable in the football league, got themselves to the championship as mentioned without spending vast sums of money. The new stadium they built in 2005 certainly helped develop the club. Recruited well in terms of players and managers, whenever they sell one of their top players they do seem to invest the money well and know how to replace them.

And of course...Carlisle beat Vale lol

 

I'm certainly not making any predictions for the final few games.

Port Vale missed a last min penalty to equalise too!

Wycombe back in poll position for league one promotion. Both sides have very tough final three games.

Don’t rule out Charlton. They travel to Wycombe on Monday. A win their and they are two point behind with 2 games left and Wycombe with Leyton Orient (6th) and Stockport (5th). To play. In fact they then have Wrexham so it’s in Charlton’s hands really if they beat them two.

 

Wrexham won’t do it, they are too inconsistent.

I go home and away with Charlton and as much as what you’ve described sounds angelic to an actual Charlton fan lol the club would struggle massively if they did go up automatically, or be it through the play-offs this season. They can beat anyone on their day at this level which they’ve proven however a step up and I think they’d **** the bed a little.. If they missed out this year I’d put a lot of money I don’t have on going up automatically under NJ next season.

Apart from Birmingham, I don’t see any of the sides up there being able to really take the Championship by storm.

 

Wrexham, I think 3 promotions on the bounce, fantastic and historic. But the Championship is a big step up.

 

Wycombe struggled before.

 

Stockport and Leyton Orient are doing great but again, big step up. 
 

Charlton I still think would be the best placed.

 

Probably good for us anyway. If the sides coming up from League 1 were strong, we’d be in some bother!

Yep, Charlton have a good core of players.  Lloyd Jones is 100% championship ready as is Coventry, amongst others. 

 

Obviously I'm biased but, given the new ownership seem ready to spend and given the stadium and an academy that is rated something like 16th in the country, I think Charlton will do fine in the Championship.  They'll attract decent loan options from other London clubs also.  

 

Champ is just not that good.  

 

Statement win today as well.

One point from our last four, with two of them being at home.

 

Hard to believe we may still make the playoffs and certainly not much hope for them, if we do.

Doncaster on brink of returning to League One. Between teams to get the 3 auto spots. 

AFC Wimbledon vs Port Vale and Doncaster vs Bradford next weekend! 

Lots of teams involved in playoff contention too. 

 

Wycombe with a big loss at home to Charlton. 

Charlton play Wrexham at the weekend!

Great great win today.Still need to beat Wrexham and hope Lincoln turn up in 12 days time.Burton still fighting for their lives obviously.It’s a shame Charltons charge came a game or two too late.

Still a great turnaround from last season.NJ done a great job

100%. Hugely impressed with Nathan Jones. 

 

Shame he had that mini-meltdown with Southampton because he generally comes across very well and has really sorted the defence out. I think that's another reason I think Charlton can do okay if they manage to get up. A very solid base.
