Even if we do stay up Jones has got a heck of a job to do to lift the players for next year. Surely this run is also hindering our recruitment opportunities. Being arguably the fourth worst team in the division also…
We will have to pay good wages to attract

I agree.
There can be no drifting along, with just a few tweaks here and there, along with a few loaned out players back in the team.
If that's the way the Summer pans out then I think Charlton will be in the bottom 3 by October, and may not re-emerge.

I don't think there will be much money for higher wages.
Frugal but canny recruitment is what we will likely need to rely on. I have huge doubts about NJ's ability to deliver that.
 
If we'd just been a little less **** and got a draw against the likes of Preston, Brizzle or Pompey, there wouldn't be this nagging feeling that our nightmares are going to become reality.

I'm trying to remain positive, I truly am, but it's hard when we are utter poop.

Alternatively, going to West Brom and Wednesday with a not lose approach is a recipe for disaster.

This is the crux of the matter.

We played with spirit on Wednesday.
On this coming Saturday the team might play with fight and fire, like it really matters to them. I hope we do play that way.

But where was the fire in the belly during all those weekends in the last few months when we lost game after game or let chances to win go begging because our team played in such a sluggish, lack-lustre fashion.

One more draw instead of a defeat since Christmas, and we would all have been celebrating with relief our safety in the 2nd tier a week ago.
Not counting the days with this nagging fear that we might still slip back into the 3rd Division.

This thread could have been put to bed weeks ago :emoticon-0101-sadsm

As it stands the scum will field a weakened side against Oxford to protect their players for the playoffs :emoticon-0138-think
They 100% won’t want to lose their last game before the playoffs. And they may need at least a point to stay 3rd or 4th and thus get the play off home advantage.

Talk of Millwall fielding a weak side is being overplayed I think.

Keep calm and stay relaxed everyone. We’ll be safe by 5pm tomorrow.

And if not, then Oxford won’t beat Millwall.
