Don't worry. It's exciting times where you ask yourself if it's okay to dare to dream.
I can't see it but also can't see anyone stopping us at the moment. What a quandary.
I have to grudgingly admire what is going on at your club. It shows what can be done with limited resources when you have an owner with ambition and a manager who knows the club and has the respect of the fans.
Sadly at Charlton we have the complete opposite at the moment.

Well the nine clubs above you might just have a say. On a great run certainly but 10th is effectively mid table. Don’t get too excited just yet.
Indeed, hence why I put "I can't see it".
You're right, 10th is kind of mid table, but when you're only 4 points off of the playoffs it feels a lot closer. I'm sure you'd be the same in our position as it's hard not to get a bit caught up in what's happened since 1st Jan and our defeat to Norwich.
For me, this is the saddest part of our current situation under Roland and this season. I can tolerate Palace and West Ham staying up and I’m resigned to us not going up. But not so long ago, we went up from League 1, had a club legend as manager and finished 9th in the Championship. Instead of attracting a new wealthy owner, pushing on from there, we get a lunatic with his own network dream who dismantled the squad and destroyed the club. Now, to rub salt in, we watch our local rivals doing what we should have done, were it not for Roland. A few months ago, it seemed that both SE London clubs and the one from Surrey could all be in the same league next season. There’s now more chance that two of them are playing premiership football. Thanks Roland.
Of course they’re doing well beyond all their dreams but keep it real I want them to slide down all the leagues in to oblivion . Any club with a c per fan ratio like theirs deserves no success

Out of all the people on this forum, you have the post construction talent and inner anger to pass as one of us.

How did you not filter through?
Not hard or horrible enough and the millwall fans my dad knew came across as dicks
I read somewhere they have the 2nd lowest budget in the Championship. A similar scenario to Shrewsbury.
I hate them, but that doesn't mean you cannot admire what Harris has done. He always carries himself very well whenever I have seen him at our Under 23 games. No airs or graces. Even poured me a cup of tea at Greenwich Borough, when I was pretending to be a scout to get the half time refreshments. Now been sussed and kicked out by scoop!
harris is doing a fantastic job but hopefully they do the classic over achieve this season get a bit too big for there boots then end up plumetting next year.
Harris at Millwall, uncle Roy at Palace, are both doing a great job. Gutted to say that. If Millwall finished in top 10 and Palace stay up both have over achieved. Because of location, location and birthplace never had the hate for the London/Surrey teams we struggle against. Chelsea and West ham (who I have seen Cafc beat on numerous occasions) are the teams i save my abhorrence for.
Millwall will do well to beat Villa, Boro and Fulham - but you never know. None of them will fancy playing the Spanners. Unlike us, EVERYONE want's to play Charlton - three easy points!

Forest home
Ipswich away
Bristol city home
Bolton away
Last 4 are much tougher.
Sheff Utd away
Fulham home
Boro away
Villa home
If they're still in with a shout then their penultimate game away at Middlesbrough will be huge.

Have they been relegated to L2 yet??
GOOD LUCK TO MILLWALL????
Are my eyes bleeding or am I still in a deep sleep?
Wtf???
Only got yourself to blame:)

I can't wait for the CAFC price list to come out - to watch more of the piss we have been watching for 4 years.
Meanwhile ours will probably increase for the glamour games we'll face against Oldham, Fleetwood and Accrington!

I pointed out promotion was more likely on their current run, but he was more interested in playing West Ham next year in the Champ.
They have momentum and will beat at least two of Villa, Boro and Fulham IMO.
At least Charlton is definitely the team for me if I hate happiness this much.
They dont care about going as high as they can possibly go... All they way is their Cup Finals against West Ham or Charlton!!
I have a different attitude to the Spanner mentioned above. You now have two 'attitudes' to consider in your summary of what is typical.
But we must leave the thread open if only to serve as a beacon for justice and the natural order of things.
1 point away from playoffs as it stands.
I must have done some real bad shit in my previous life
