Tbf I'd also take another result against Leeds by going backs to the wall and pinging a ball in off someone's backside from a cornerForeverAddickted said:
Yes I think we can... We scared Brentford a few weeks ago, we simply dont like facing teams that'll sit back when we attackMattF said:Barnsley today showed us that Leeds are not unbeatable (yes they lost, but that was as much their own inability to finish as anything). Like us, Barnsley are fighting for their lives from a much worse position than is and they really took the game to Leeds today, are we capable of doing the same if we need to?
Leeds wont do that, the trouble with facing Leeds will be trying to get the ball in the first place but if we can be clever with it then we can hurt them
We couldnt even do it in League One, take that Oxford performance for example2 -

Lol, what another "Cup Final", Millwall were there for the taking in a "Cup Final" we did not show up, last night was a "Cup Final" we never took our chance, now Saturday is a "Cup Final"CH4RLTON said:I think we might get a bounce on Saturday, simple fact it's a cup final , wins and we are safe we really need to get all the negative thoughts away and just go all out for the win.
We are crap, and we never turn up when needed.

It would be the final twist of a truly bizarre season if we were to stay up by doing the DOUBLE over the league champions...2

He was right about Sheff Utd.

In the last game, Dunkley gets his foot round Gallagher and Oshilaja.
Nothing Phillips could do, but both the other two should do better there.
Sarr definitely pulled down in the box and the defending for the second is just a bit unlucky.0 -

Leeds promoted, Huddersfield beat West brom..
Hudders look safe
Leeds may have nothing to play for next week0 -
We can’t score. It’s already all over.1

We can score, just need some luck, I'm not giving up, we need to support and be confident from afar!Valiantphil said:We can’t score. It’s already all over.3 - Sponsored links:

So it’s three from five, two from four if you’re discounting Barnsley and their incredibly tough fixtures.
All four are playing another team in the mini-group tomorrow. We are two points ahead of the pack which puts us in a relatively strong position.
Win tomorrow and we are guaranteed to be safe. That is not true for any of the other three teams.
A draw isn’t the worst result but it does leave the door open for Wigan plus one other (both if they draw) to jump above us if they get a result from their last game.
A loss will be painful. Pray for a Hull/Luton draw if that happens.2 -
On Saturday, versus Wigan ....... we have just somehow got to do the business.
It then kills off Wigan and makes us safe. Play ugly, be lucky - any old way will do, just get the 3 points.4 -
Last time Charlton lost at Leeds. Twenty years ago.0 -
I can see it happening: Brentford will beat West Brom to automatic promotion. West Brom will be on a downer as they go into a semi-final against Millwall. Millwall will play Fulham in the final and as an ex-Charlton player Parker will infect his team with an inferioty complex.

Meanwhile at the bottom, Cardiff will have lost to Hull giving Hull 48 points who will have lost to Luton who finish on 51 points after beating Blackburn.
Middlesbrough and Birmingham get to safety with two easier matches to come. Wigan too after beating us.
Can we get 50 points by winning against Leeds and being equal on points to Stoke who could lose to Brentford and Forest? It could mean that we have an equal goal difference to Stoke but worse off on goals for. It could mean that we are heroically beating Leeds 1-0 but need one more to do it on goal difference. A bad tackle in the box and it's a penalty in the last minute to Charlton.
It's all rather like clutching at straws.
I don't wish to sound like Golfie but I really can't see anything but doom and gloom. Us in League One with Palace and Millwall in the Premier League.3 -
Let's just hope the Leeds fans who's met Bielsa tonight remembered to ask him to let Bowyer get a result on the last day if he needs one as a bit of goodwill, might be our only chance0

Their 16 year exile from the Premiership has been neatly book-ended by little old Charlton. Their last game in the Premiership was the 3-3 draw at Elland Road in May 2004. Their last game in the EFL will again by a home match against little old Charlton.kentred2 said:Last time Charlton lost at Leeds. Twenty years ago.
Another draw perhaps.?0 -
Exactly what I told my mate before the Huddersfield result ...jimmymelrose said:I can see it happening: Brentford will beat West Brom to automatic promotion.

all so predictable0 -
So we could be in the bottom 3 for 1 week pre lockdown and the last week!0

Haven’t worked out the full permutations but a point at Elland Rd *should* now be enough unless two of the three other teams win.1 - Sponsored links:

Let’s assume Luton win later as a worst case scenario. The table below will look likeCharlton 3pts
Luton 3pts
Wigan 1pt
Hull 0pts
If we get a point at Leeds, Luton have to win to go above us because their goal difference is much worse. Wigan also have to win to go above us on goal difference.
If Hull/Luton draw then the table looks like this:
Charlton 2pts
Wigan 0pts
Hull 0pts
Luton 0pts
If we get a point at Elland Rd, Wigan have to win to go above us. Luton and Hull have to win by 10+ goals to go above us.0 -
FiveThirtyEight now lists relegation percentage chances as above...

Can’t be bothered to check if anyone has said this but Fulham could be our saviour . If they beat Sheff Wed they need to beat Wigan next week to possibly get automatic promotion. That would mean with their 12 point deduction we would be safe regardless off our result at Leeds !2

I like these posts, but I just cannot agree with those percentages.allezallezallez said:FiveThirtyEight now lists relegation percentage chances as above...2 -
If Luton and Hull draw i fancy us
Nick a point away at Leeds who play for nothing job done0 -
Win and we’re safe. Draw and we are praying that two teams don’t win. Lose and it opens the door to Wigan as well as the winner of Hull v Luton

Isn’t a Hull win better for us now?0
-
I personally think it is, yes.SuedeAdidas said:Isn’t a Hull win better for us now?3 -
Better than a Luton win simply because of who they each play in the last game. I think I feel better about a draw though.SuedeAdidas said:Isn’t a Hull win better for us now?1 -
100% yes. If it happens I predict that's us safeSuedeAdidas said:Isn’t a Hull win better for us now?0
