Nice run out in the sun - and avoiding a trip to Stockport. Happy Days.
Midfield was very effective today with Gilbert adding finesse in the first half with some lovely passing. Ramsey was having a ball at the back and driving forward at every opportunity but my shout out goes to Mitchell who overcame that early horror pass to play very well at the back.9 -
This, couldn't agree more, its been amazing second half bearing in mind Nathan wanted too or had to offload 7 players and receive no money to buy anybody in January.Garrymanilow said:Given how miserable things have been over the past decade 4th in League One is a really good finish, especially considering how much we've had to build back up and how many new players and ideas we've had to bed in. The run we've been on since December has been absolutely incredible and if not for a very ropey November I think we would have been celebrating automatic promotion today. If anything I'm actually glad we lost to Wrexham because this was the first game of the season I didn't really worry about and it would have been a much more sickening blow to win that, win today and still fall just short. We got to enjoy it a bit more today and celebrate the result without any caveats. No matter what happens in the Playoffs this season has shown huge progress, and even if it doesn't end up being a 'good' season by the end of May it will still be something to build on, which I don't think is something we've felt like we've had since 2012. On to Wycombe now.
We should all proud and even over the next 2/3 games if we give it 110% but still come up short then I for one won't be angry but would hope/expect next season that our Board dig deep as its been proved (doesn't happen always) that the two teams who spent the most this year3 -
A very professional performance and overrall a decent season compared to last.
I'd love the promotion for the cherry on top, but at least we aren't a joke in this league anymore.
Playing Wycombe as expected, and that's arguably the easiest game in the play-offs left based on form. Quietly confident we can get to Wembley, then hopefully the football God's are with us.
Roll on the play-offs, see you all in Wycombe 👍🏻11 -
Definitely there he picked up an award for community champion of the year for all his work in going to schools, hospitals etc.AndyG said:42 -
I'd also like to thank God (den) because without him we can do nothing10

Excellent day, with a comfortable win, 2 more goals for Godden who is in superb form, no injuries or suspensions and Stockport beating Wycombe. And once the game was won, we could then rest players.
The game panned out as I hoped/expected, with Burton lacking that 10% of extra commitment they would have given if the game mattered to them, hence the lack of aggro other than one baffling and somewhat unnecessary incident involving Watson.
Mitchell had an awful start, but his role in our equaliser definitely settled him down, and he played well for the rest of the game.13 -

Well done Charlton.
We would all of kept the faith anyway, it's in the blood and the dna of all of us, but for the first time in years, Charlton brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours, not a weary resigned grimace. From December we have been invariably dogged and occaisionally brilliant. If we finish it off with a win at Wembley, it will be wholely deserved and I for one can put to the back of my mind all the relentless morale sapping, hope smashing shit of the last 10-ish years. Charlton the footballing soap opera.
Well done Charlton, the lads and well done NJ.
Up the Addicks, whatever happens next.5 -
we have the tie we wanted with the 2nd leg at home .. Wycombe with a 2nd half collapse look shot .. if we don't get to Wembley, we will only have ourselves to blame8

Could so easily have been a cricket score, let’s hope we’re saving the goals for the playoffs.3

Two battles, semi-final and final.ForeverAddickted said:The guns fire off one salvo... distant cheers can be heard from the shore
Because Burton Albion... You've been SUNK!!
However the Captain of HMS Reach the Play-Offs only allows for a small smile, because he knows the real battle is about to begin!!

It was a Kent score most games this seasonAddicksAddict said:Could so easily have been a cricket score, let’s hope we’re saving the goals for the playoffs.
3-1, with Crawley out for 1.5 -
Who are you, and what have you done with the real Golfie?golfaddick said:Good performance & deservedly won. Burton would have had no complaints if we had scored 6.
Good to see some of the youngsters getting a run out. Would have done then good being in front of a bumper 20k crowd.
Now onto next week.3 -
3 in form teams in the playoffs, and one who seem to have hit the wall.Lincsaddick said:we have the tie we wanted with the 2nd leg at home .. Wycombe with a 2nd half collapse look shot .. if we don't get to Wembley, we will only have ourselves to blame
Stockport Vs Orient will be a tough game, Orient will be buzzing.8 - Sponsored links:

Thought Gilbert played really well46

If we have everyone back the the subs will surely be Gilbert, probably Mitchell and Watson, but which strikers will he choose, Chucks probably, but who else?0
-
That couldn't have gone much better.
Now we need to focus on Wycombe. It would be very easy to underestimate them after we gave them a hiding just a couple of weeks ago, but we must be careful not to do so.
I hope Nathan doesn't allow any complacency to sneak in.9 -
Fullah looked threatening when he came on. I'd like to see him given a place on the bench.Pete reeves said:If we have everyone back the the subs will surely be Gilbert, probably Mitchell and Watson, but which strikers will he choose, Chucks probably, but who else?4 -
Odd first half with defensive errors galore. Great end of season fayre though. Good to go into the play-offs with a win. Kayne Ramsay just gets better and better, twi wonderful balls slipped through their back line as he rampaged forward.4

Of the missing players, I thought Lloyd Jones looked a bit stiff ( and not in the Kenneth Williams sense) as he walked up to collect his award.
Small looked ok. I don't remember seeing Berry.1 -
he was there in training kit, hard to tell how fit he is, but if he can walk, he'll be out there next Saturdaykillerandflash said:Of the missing players, I thought Lloyd Jones looked a bit stiff ( and not in the Kenneth Williams sense) as he walked up to collect his award.

Chuks only available for the second leg. It's all set up for him to dispossess Leahy and smash it into the Covered End goal.peterreeves said:If we have everyone back the the subs will surely be Gilbert, probably Mitchell and Watson, but which strikers will he choose, Chucks probably, but who else?19 -
