    I do find it weird that some fans think Leicester will finish above us when we are currently seven clear of them. They have the worst defence bar Wednesday. People talk as though they are a good team but without the points deduction we’d still be above them so clearly they are not very good.

    Agreed. It's us Pompey, Blackburn, Oxford and West Brom 
    Pompey doing the double on us could be costly 
    Yet again, people ruling out Leicester and not us for the drop, and we are SEVEN points above them, have beaten them and we've picked up 7 points in the last 5 games and they have 1. 

    Insane 
    Have you watched us lately 
    7-pts from 4-games isnt a bad return.
    One defeat and the wrist slitting is getting out of control
    Wrist slitting?  Odd thing to say.
    You need to grow up a bit. You are not some defender of CAFC.  We all support charlton just some of us actually spend a lot of many going to games and watching crap win or lose aint easy. Instead of watching every game on TV and telling every fan how wrong they are maybe you could just say nothing 
    No need for that. Many of us would love to get to more games but can't for many complex reasons. We can all have an opinion and we can all disagree but there's no need for digging out fans (from both sides of the postive/negative argument)

    No you. 
    Fair enough, just the one account here though. With the amount I post I'd have no time to eat with another 22!

    Desperately trying not to bite but I'd love to know which 22 other posters you think are me, such a gloriously specific number

    on paper they’re a very good team though. Half their team has premier league experience. For the price it cost them Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp you could buy our entire club

    They're an expensively assembled squad but it doesn't blend well into a team and their best striker is 34 yr old Jordan Ayew, a perfect example of good players ≠ good squad

    Luckily football isn’t played on paper. If it was Arsenal wouldn’t have dropped points tonight 😂😂

    It just feels like such a weirdly unbalanced squad. They might grind out a couple of results early doors with a new manager bounce but they just seem completely fragile. 

    I wonder how much the likes of Winks , Okoli, Daka etc are up for a fight.

    Rowett will shore them up defensively. If they can carry on scoring like they have been they’ll be fine. It’s a decent appointment. He’ll keep them up.

    I'd say Fatawu is their best attacker, seems decent whenever i've seen him and scores some great goals. They've also just signed Mukasa on loan from Man City who is a serious talent.

    Their main issue is their defence but you'd expect with Rowett going in there that they should now improve at the back. I'd be quite surprised if Leicester go down.

    Neither of those are the straight down the middle striker though which is what I was saying in terms of squad building

    If he can do it quick enough and if the players have the spirit and willingness to actually try what he brings. He's as good a manager as they could hope for but I wouldn't assume they are definitely safe yet (though i suspect they will make it just about.)

    I suspect that Sheff Wed are praying for at least a point for Blackburn on Friday night and a win for West Brom against Coventry on Ssturday afternoon, so that they are relegated before their derby match with Sheff Utd on Sunday.
    After the dreadful season that they've had the last thing the fans will want is to be formally relegated by their city rivals.

    Yeah their attacking quality should be enough to keep them safe. They do need to get a lot better at the back though.

    Jordan James has been a massive loss for them. He won't be back from injury until March, but was their best midfielder.

    Leicester have appealed their 6 point deduction as have the Premier League. Assume the PL want it increased.

    Sounds like the PL want a quick solution. Raising it to 10 would do nicely.

    As long as they don't increase it and immediately suspend the whole penalty.

    You would like to think that Pompey  & Oxford wouldn't pick up many points. Don't know about WBA or Leicester - Con have gone off the boil & Leicester (as I've said on here many times) will score enough to get out of danger. 

    Don't like the fact 3 teams are playing before us  - if 1 or more pick up 3 points then it could make everyone (fans & players) rather nervy. 
  • We win, the rest lose.  We all feel better. I hope.
  • Looking at the three matches Golfie has posted above involving our nearest rivals for tomorrow, I would say we have the, won't say easiest, but certainly the better for getting a result...🤷‍♂️

    Coventry fortunately seem to rediscovered their mojo again.

    Stoke vs Leicester will be an interesting one, as Stoke are out of form as well, with no wins in 6, and only 4 points ahead of us.

    Stoke play Oxford midweek, beat them and Leicester and they'll be looking at the playoffs as a distant possibility. Two defeats, and they might start getting a bit twitchy about being caught!

    Not many easy games for the shitters of the division this weekend so hoping no coupon busters unless its us.
