    Admittedly Vale's games in hand could easily muster 4 points but usually the team doing the chasing in situations like this would falter. We'll be alright comfortably.

    Coventry & Chesterfield are down, Swindon are almost gone & Port Vale have got the top 3 in their last 4 games.............no panic - we're safe.

    I remember Wet Spam winning something like seven out of their last eight to condemn Sheff Utd to the drop. Don't take anything for granted.

    Managers like Curbishley are pretty rare

    Today was the last of the harder games left to play I would say. Got Chesterfield,Coventry and Swindon still to play. Think we'll be OK this season.

    I think we may need to win another 2 games to achieve safety. The bottom 3 look doomed but unfortunately we are going to need a relatively high figure to be assured of safety, perhaps as much as 54 points. Our good Goal Difference could prove vital.

    1 win in 12. Port Vale have two matches to play before we play again.

    Nothing we can do than just hope they don't win both of them and put us under pressure again.

    The problem is that our record against the top teams is better than our record against the teams near the bottom.
    If the team's attitude is not spot-on for the remaining games then we could be in big trouble.

    I'm confident we'll be safe we have good players and will see us through to safety comfortably
    The fact we are having this discussion, for the first time in my 40 years of supporting Charlton, says all you need to know about the stupid c**ts running our club and the fact that some still stick up for this cretin confirms what I have always thought and that's that we have some right weirdos in our support

    And one of Vale's two matches is versus MKD.

    They can't both win.

    Given our run in we should be ok, but it's absolutely pathetic that we're this low and even contemplating it

    Folks,

    Gillingham just lost 4-1 to Rochdale. They are f**ked.

    They're only two points behind us. They nick a 1-0 at the Valley and the team that's "f**ked" is all of a sudden above us in the table.

    Don't get me wrong, I think we'll stay up (simply because there's too many teams below us that won't all jump above us) but all the same it's not a comfortable place to be in.

    Our last four games will be against three already-relegated teams and rubbish Gillingham. We'll be fine.

    I believe Gillingham's fall down the table coincided with Dack being out injured. He's back now.

    The chances of us actually dropping down to League Two are at 5% or less. But that's 5% more than it should ever be.

    He didn't make much difference today. Lost 4-1.

    Yes and this was what you said in September 2015 -

    "Bookmark this and remind me at the end of the season if you like. Just needs a couple of good results. The ones we stuffed up were the home games, and they weren't without their share of bad luck. When Makienok, Ceballos and (lol) Reza come back, we'll see what we're really made of.

    Banging on about failed experiments and something rotten at the heart of Charlton is myopic in the extreme."

    The Championship is one of the toughest and most unforgiving leagues in the world though and it didn't take much to cause catastrophe. This is different. We're playing ok now and we have a decent squad for the league. I don't see how we'd get relegated, especially with our run-in.

    I think we'll stay up, but it's by no means a certainty and I backed us for relegation at 40/1 a couple of weeks back.

    We should be fine but 100/1 with betfair seemed a bit generous, just had a fiver on it.

    That's what we all thought in 1971/2 my friend.

    It's like a bet on an accumulator. Team X or Team Y might have a chance of finishing above us on their own. But the chances of Team X, Y, Z, A, B & C all getting the result is unrealistic. One of them is probably not going be good enough.

    We have goal-shy forwards and we can't keep a clean sheet.

    Just taken a look at the table and, despite being 15th, we are not out of it by any means.

    I think and hope we should just about have enough in our locker not to go down but we could be looking behind us for a while yet.

    I fear a six pointer against Gillingham on Easter Monday at a toxic Valley.

    If port vale lose Tuesday we are safe.
    If they win Tuesday we most definitely ain't

    I think we'll be okay. Should have enough points on the board plus be able to pick up enough points between now and the end of the season

    Will be tight though
