Not L1, but another win for Forest Green and they are out of the relegation places. They've played 2 more games than Colchester, but a great job by Steve Cotterill, showing how much difference a proper manager makes.

Giving us yet another tearjerking Ryan Inniss redemption arc, hopefully.
Also seems like Garner might not have been the problem at Colchester
good night for Cheltenham... just a shame for them their next two are Barnsley away and Peterboro at home - they really need to win one of those, especially with lots of the bottom 8/9 playing each other this Saturday.
Exeter - Burton and Reading - Cambridge are the 2 that could be very interesting from Saturday's games.
Shrewsbury at home to Carlisle, they need to win that. The only remaining games against teams in the bottom half afterwards are against us and Wycombe. Could be in massive trouble by the time they play us.
Cambridge have got 1 point in the 5 games since Harris left
Under Appleton (final 10 games - no wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats) we would have still had the two defeats in our current last six games but the wins probably would have been draws - or worse. That 8 points is the platform for staying up and confidence that Jones has generated.
This is no longer the table we should be looking at (I know given the title of the conversation it is relevant) but top half is genuinely achievable and the target we should be setting. Bristol Rovers and Northampton both looking abject at the moment and they are only 6 points ahead of us.
It won't be easy but I think it will definitely send the right message to prospective players for next season if we can get ourselves above that half way point. Given Lincoln's results, it can definitely be done in this sub-standard league 1.

I may even include 11th to make it ultra exciting…

Please, don't use that word in anything associated with Charlton, me feel dirty.

Apologies. Should have been more Charlton and said ‘supa dupa exciting’
If Fleetwood stay up this season, that is the most damning indictment this league could possibly have
It's a very scary time for Fleetwood. Their owner has to divest his shares since being done for fraud but he still hasn't done that. He is literally the only thing keeping them even remotely competitive. They're on a peninsula in the Northwest and have a population of 25,000. It's insane that they've got as far as they have and it's all off the back of one man's investment (a fair bit of it via cash he stole from his customers). Eventually the FL will force him out and unless Fleetwood get taken over by the Fisherman's Friend manufacturers there's no-one else waiting in the wings to keep Fleetwood's budgets at this level. Considering they were able to take Stockley off us and loan Kilkenny for an amount Bournemouth were happy with their budget is going to drop so massively they'll keel over completely. They really are fighting for their lives at this point

Even if we were still winless we’d still not have been cut adrift yet.
Top half finish is still within our sights. 👍

Didn't help their cause when a certain striker got a silly red card.
Only Fleetwood showing some signs of form out of the bottom 4, so they may well survive.
Charlton: 14.00
Exeter: 14.25
Shrewsbury: 10.75
Reading: 10.62
Burton: 14.56
Cambridge United: 11.88
Cheltenham: 12.60
Fleetwood: 12.12
Port Vale: 12.10
Higher the number, easier the remaining schedule.
