Has the look of a banana skin to me this one. For no better reason than everyone loses occasionally against a team they're not expecting to beat them. Like Portsmouth last night vs Plymouth. Hope I'm wrong, still want that 2nd automatic promotion place.
The football gods are smiling on us for once. We are not playing well but grinding out the results. Jones despite being a Cloughie wannabe is doing a fine job and I reckon we will win Saturday
It is worrying that we have such limp forwards. Godden aside nobody has impressed me. The playofffs require an inform striker. Nicking 1 nils may be ok for now but not for playoffs
We haven’t thrashed an opponent all season. We are the 2025 equivalent of Don Howe’s “1-0 to the Arsenal” side.
Apart from Northampton. Yes I was thinking of that Arsenal side. It was usually Ian Wright who scored their goal, and their back 4 didn't give teams a sniff. In fact they often seemed to give up once Arsenal took the lead. The longer it stayed 0-0 the more you knew they'd win 1-0 eventually.
Docherty back tomorrow, which is good news. He has improved as the season has developed. Nathan Jones has made clear on Charlton TV that he’s an aoutmatic pick when available.
Looks like my banana skin prediction was wrong Good - no slip-ups can be afforded if we want 2nd place.
