as i said before a team at the wrong end of the table ( rochdale ) are down there for a reason, we have just beaten a shrewsbury and Blackburn sides that have been top 3 nigh on all season, in a way we should be confident enough in the boys that we can go and get a result never nice to relegate a club but needs must, not going saturday as would of been a stopover and a pricey one.
Despite Rochdale's lowly position I should think LB is preparing the same way he did for the Blackburn game. We can easily mess this up still if the focus is missing and that has happened plenty of times in our history. 3 points is the aim for us, no more no less, especially should Plymouth win tomorrow night.

Unless it's palarse.
i dont class them as a club more a shit stain on the footballing world.
If we get there I don't think we should fear anyone. Hoping we can somehow avoid Shrewsbury is non-sensical imo. Whoever they are. Bring it on. And I'm sure Bowyer's saying the same.
Judging by their performance at the valley they try to play decent passing football but we still came from 1 down to win 2-1 but without checking I can't remember who scored or how the goals came about for Cafc ?
It's a real nail-biter that's for sure. I have one major concern and it's one that we have been suffering from all season - someone to put the ball in the net. Sure, we have won our last three games and not conceded a goal - great - but to win football matches you have to be able to find the net fairly regularly. If we score first then we have the advantage as the back four are playing really well but if we go behind and have to chase the game I fear we are going to come up short.

echo these thoughts, great wins but its been 2 1-0 wins and the shrewsbury game would of been without there howler

True, though none of the teams around us are that prolific either, when compared to Wigan and Blackburn
Rotherham have the most goals with 72, but then it's pretty close. Shrewsbury have only scored 2 more than we have for example (60 vs 58), Scunthorpe 62, Plymouth 56

Shrewsbury away, Pompey away and Blackburn at home on the back of two disapoining defeats. The number of goals scored in these games is irrelevant, if any of us came on here after Scunthorpe and said it would happen we would have been ridiculed! I would have been at the front of the queue doing the ridiculing. This three game winning run is a fantastic achievement because of the difficulty of the games, the relative quality of the opponents and the circumstances.

I am a Charlton fan and i fucking loved pompey and saturday not been to games with atmosphere like that for years, but im not going to get carried away getting a playoff spot is a good achievement but lets not get too excited we do have to win the thing.
start of the season most fans would not of been satisfied with 5/6th, but we had a manager who didn't have a clue what he was doing and now we've got a manager who gets the club and think is very good, whether hes of championship stock i don't know.
we played shrewsbury when they were pretty much consolidated to the playoffs pompey was do or die for them Blackburn had v little to play for which was reflected in the squad they played.
in my opinion the pompey game was the hardest of the 3 and we won it.
what is very encouraging is we appear to have hit form going into the playoffs;

Also both Scunthorpe and Plymouth have much easier last day fixtures than us. Both playing sides who are already on their holidays. So we'd much prefer it to be done and dusted this midweek.
whatever happens this midweek the only thing you can be certain of is that it will NOT be done and dusted.

if plymouth get spanked 4-0 by scunthorpe bar us letting in a shed load we would be there
If Plymouth draw 0-0 with Scunny and beat Gillingham 4-0 and Charlton draw 2-2 at Rochdale, it means Charlton and Plymouth have identical points, identical goal difference, identical goals scored and identical 2-0 results against each another. If Scunny get at least a draw it would need another deciding game between Plymouth and Charlton for the 6th place decider.

Don't think I could take that! Seriously, really can't conceive that happening but I guess you never know!
Why not do it then on the basis of who has conceded the least amount of Goals?
Or even the head to head aggerate score (Yes I know would be 2-2 between Charlton and Plymouth)
Else they'd surely have to do a Qualifying Play-Off on Monday 7th to fit it round the Play-Offs
It would be virtually impossible to schedule a qualifying play off match in the short time scale between the end of the Saturday match and Thursday unless they do it behind closed doors, and then having to organise tickets/police etc for the Thursday match as well...leaving aside the issue of a team then having to play Saturday, Monday, Thursday

Which should suit us really
