Running out of steam

Hope not,this is crunch time and some players a little tired and top points getting whittled away slowy.Be a shame not to go up as Champions after being there all season,may be change it around a bit.Freshen things up,he keeps saying he's got players chomping at the bit to get in,lets see them,thought thats why he built up a good strong team.Injuries could start to take there toll now, be interesting to see how he keeps it going.
If they find this run in difficult,wait till the championship.

    At this stage of the season it is all about results. Yes we haven't been as a fluid as the October\November peak, but I honestly don't care.

    My only worry is - will we do what we normally do and start slacking at narrow 1-0 wins or lose to teams by a narrow because we are becoming too comptable? The past 10 seasons this had been the case, especially in the Premiership. We have a good season until end of February and start going on a bad run with slacking performances and we ruin what looked like it was going to be a good season. I can remember when we went up as Champions in division one, we was walking the league but stuttered towards the end and we could have sealed promotion a lot sooner even though I felt proud of Charlton that season. Hopefully, we won't stutter and we don't blow it by ending up in the playoffs. I don't like to rely on other teams this season when we are 11 points clear of third place. I know some of you rather look at 2nd place but I like to look at 3rd place because as long as we get promoted then I am happy, even if we finish 2nd. So we have got to do what we need to do on the pitch and not worry about other teams around us.

    I don't think we will slack based on how strong our squad is in this division but until we are mathmatically very close to sealing promotion then there is a cause to celebrate.

    when the gap is 12 points on Saturday, this thread will look a bit silly
  • MrLargoMrLargo
    Our blip has finally arrived, 2 draws in our last 7, only 17 points from the last 21. Press the panic button.

    Have a look at the league table and then calm the hell down.

    What an incredibly silly thread.

    Keep repeating the current form over the last 8 games until the end of the season, and we win the league with over 100 points.

    I thought it was going to be an in depth analysis into the Steam Train Industry!

    No reason to think we won't.

    I'm potentially on my Jack Jones on Tuesday. Let me know if there are any spares around you.

    will do, should be if Franchise was anything to go by.

    At every stage in the season it's about results. It seems the novelty and enjoyment of an exciting season has worn off and the result is a shrill demand for Barcelona-esque football. If this is Charlton running out of steam we must have a team of Highlanders. Actually that would be awesome..

    A point away from home whoever it's against is a good point. Chesterfield away won't be easy neither. Nothing needs to be freshened up. Weve just had 2 weeks without football. They've had a good rest. Bring on the rest of the season

    Played 30 lost 2.

    Just have a little look at the table, forget 2nd place look at the gap to third plus the games in hand. Fantastic position to be in.

    So lets just get some perspective. Looking at the other English league leaders:
    Premiership Leaders
    Man City 2pt lead / lost 3

    Champoinship Leaders
    Southamton 2pt lead / lost 7

    Division 1 Leaders
    Charlton 6pt lead / lost 2

    Division 2 Leaders
    Southend 0pt lead / lost 8

    Conference Leaders
    Fleetwood 2pt lead / lost 3

    Our strikers may not score often or pass the height test and our home and away following is inferior to the Massive, but by my reckoning we are performing better than most and i wonder if there are any other clubs fans in our division that wouldn't swap places without a thought.

    If we do manage to defy the current odds and secure P, god help Powell if we aren't top 6 at Christmas, or he will be having to look under his car with a mirror.

    92 points will get us promoted.

    Win our home games from here on in and we've done it.

    Sheff Utd gaining of two points on us after the weekends games seems to have put the fear of god into all the lifers, guys and girls get a grip we are still out in front by six points

    It's ok saying that but we haven't won a game for 6 days.

    All that matters is the gap between us and third.

    Yes the title would be nice if it happens but automatic promotion is our ONE AIM!

    Not sure about “running out of steam”, it’s pretty inconceivable that we wont get promoted now. It’d take a monumental effort from Huddersfield or Sheffield Wednesday (an effort neither of which look capable of) to overturn our points gap, and it would also require a huge collapse from us, again not something we’ve really shown any sign of. The real shame would be if we didn’t recognise the potentially record breaking position we’re in and crack on and try and do something really special. At the start of the season I would have taken promotion any way we could get it, but now history is on the cards and we should go for it.
