Blackburn and Shrewsbury both play midweek, Blackburn only need to match their result to go up (they'll be 7 clear with 2 to play).
Somebody said it's not 100% in our hands. It is. Scunthorpe have to play Plymouth, so one or both will drop points. If we win all our games then both can't over-take us.
Great win but still think we will come up a point or goal difference short ?? Those wasted points in the 93rd minute Lets win our last 2 then make it as difficult as possible Coyr
Great result - Still not 100% in our own hands but would rather have the points on the board at this stage of the season than be in Plymouth's position. As said above it looks like the pressure is getting to them - Never did think they were all that just had a bit of form for a few months can easily see them falling away.
Even by Charlton standards this is quite remarkable. Lose to Wimbledon and Scunthorpe and then win away at Shrewsbury and Pompy. You couldn't make it up. Absolutely no excuse for not getting our biggest gate of the season next week.
It's the hope that kills you but in Bowyer we trust. COYR
I lost money betting on those loses glad to say I have also won money betting on those wins.
Great win to keep up the thrilling end to the season - thanks to everyone for the match updates and post match pictures: looked like fantastic support.
What a result and the atmosphere was nothing short of brilliant! Kenny Jacketts teams do the same thing..hoof it up to the biggest bloke and get those knock downs so when that doesn't work then what? Bowyer set that team up to hassle and physically match them and we did. Thought big Josh had a good game, pretty much had there CBs in his pocket! One even went off at half time! Get a result against Blackburn and the reality of a Wembley trip will be more real!
Separate note...i HATE Brett Pitman, fucking crying about everything all the time and he's a dirty bastard. Little wingy bitch
Lee Bowyer and his men are giving it everything they have. Blackburn Rovers at home was always a massive game - now it could define our future for years to come. Win on Saturday at the Valley and Charlton Athletic will almost certainly be three play-off matches away from a return to the Championship.
I'm appealing to all Charlton fans; Please come to the Valley next Saturday and help Lee Bowyer and his players as much as we can by getting right behind them for 90 minutes. Let us put the politics to one side for a day and give our caretaker manager all the support we can give.
I suppose with the stage of the season we're at, performances matter less than the result. Something I wonder if Robinson will have 'got', but Bowyer and Jacko certainly understand. In that context I would say all of the team were simply excellent, and each player made a contribution to the result. In the second half Amos who was good throughout was very good indeed. Konsa increasingly advancing did a great job in the area where Portsmouth had the most approaches, Bauer was great, including if memory serves me well a terrific block, Pearce against his old club leading whilst also having to deal with a niggly, dangerous and irritating Pitman was outstanding, and Page, followed by JDS had it tied up on the left. Kashi slotted in surprisingly well in the 'Aribo' role, looked like he usually does, JFC not only pulled the strings, but as usual was prepared to do the donkey work when needed. Tarique did enough to worry them, and Reeves was quietly effective although sometimes held on to the ball too long when good passing opportunities seemed to be there. Magennis and Ajose in tandem were effective all afternoon. The goal fashioned by Amos, and Josh was as route one as you get, very nicely finished by Ajose who I thought was a good outlet throughout the game. The fans were great. One reason for this result was that both teams had the same 'attitude' to the game, but collectively we had better players on the day than Portsmouth, who to their credit worked away all game, but were sometimes let down by a lack of quality. Pleased for the fans who travelled, so often disappointed when 'big' games come along, but today justly rewarded.

Not true, two wins guarantee play offs
Not trying to piss on bonfires but that's not 100% accurate; It all comes down to the result of Plymouth/Scunny match - if they draw that one and all three teams win all remaining games it comes down to goal difference - we have 4 higher than Plymouth at the moment and 4 worse than Scunny. I actually think a Plymouth win is worst case scenario for us and Scunny win is best.
Incredible that they've somehow turned it round to get 2 away wins at in form clubs without conceding. If only we'd done that at fucking Wimbledon we'd be almost there.
Sat in my Pompey mate’s parent’s house a minutes walk from the away end. Great performance and support for my Son’s first away match. Come on you Reds.
But who would have thought we would get 6 points from the last two. Wimbledon is now history as are a number of let downs this season, we are more than a match for any team that tries to beat us rather than stop us! I suspect both upcoming opponents will need to beat us for different reasons.
Best away day for a long long time, thought Pearce and Bauer were class again and Amos so reliable! The only think I can recall Pitman doing was whine to the ref so they must have been good!

Points in the bag are better than games in hand when the pressure's on. Who'd have expected Plymouth to lose at almost doomed Northampton?

Support was excellent.

Another win will guarantee play off position imo
Banging atmosphere, battling performance, fantastic result.
Kashi was a joke along with JFC and the two centre halves were epic.
Love you Charlton.
