Just made it! Sounded like Wycombe deserved a point. Very close game looking at the stats. Well done the Addicks - great three points!! Thanks to Ross for the match thread and to all others who contributed. Saturday will be a massive contest and I hope we can field our strongest 11 (and get another three points).
Quite enjoying how we've forgotten how to concede. I believe i read Phillips has conceded the least amount of goals of anyone in the efl in 2019. Up the addicks!
Wycombe a little unlucky but we look like we've forgotten how to lose. Pearce and Bauer superb. Cullen, Taylor and Aribo miles better than League One. Fans - Premier League. COYRs!
We're going to end up so frustratingly close to the top two
My thoughts exactly. Could be one of those seasons where we look back at the near misses like Coventry x2 games or Sunderland first day of season and think ‘if only’. Need to win all our remaining 5 and have a large slice of luck, still Sunderland have a tough run in and may start to flag with two games a week.
not over till it’s over, and going up via the play offs is better anyway! 😀
From some of the comments sounds like Igor played well. Could be crucial if he can add a goal or 2 between now and the end of the season. Well done boys. Got to keep going for 2nd until its mathematically impossible

Didnt stop running all night, twice got through on goal so maybe should have scored but really tormented them
Its a shame he doesnt have his pace from when he joined as he would have been even more lethal tonight - Back to full fitness in my opinion and justified his start
Now just 8 goals conceded in 16 games since Phillips came into the team against Walsall.
Phillips, Bauer, Pearce and Sarr all in outstanding form at the moment.
We may not score that many but carry on conceding that few goals and I can only say again that we really aren't going to need to score a hat full of goals to sink our play off rivals.
Watched in i-Follow, thought we rode our luck and again we were being bossed for the first 25 minutes of the game. After we scored we looked comfortable for the rest of the 1st half, 2nd half however we were fortunate they didn't equalise, but we have learn't to dig in and are very difficult to score against. We got 3 points winning ugly and as I said rode our luck. Good news is that it seems no injuries, a few players rested and Sunderland dropped 2 points. Can we beat Luton, yes I think we can but need to play better from the off. What a week this could be if we can get 9 points.....can we 'nick 2nd....tough call but I think we are going to make those around us sit up and take notice. Well done lads and well done to those who went......didnt stop singing all night...fantastic support!
Maybe too late for automatic promotion but while it's possible have to keep trying for it.
If not we go into play-offs with momentum, an inform penalty saving keeper and a nearly full fit squad.
I can see Pearce v Sarr being a very heated argument on here that may deserve its own thread
We're blessed with three excellent Centre-Backs in Bauer | Pearce | Sarr... If Page was fit then I'd suggest going 3-5-2 but wonder if Purrington has that ability to play Wing Back
Yes Sarr has been magnificent himself the last 20-odd games but you can only go on the last one and on that showing its difficult to drop either him or Pearce as both played well tonight (Sarr having a good cameo in what would have been a difficult game to join) - In all I dont envy the job Bowyer has on his hands dropping one of them and think that we have to go as per the opposition, there will be times when Sarr will be better suited to the team we're facing, there will be times when we need Pearce... Ultimately think (unless we lose due a mistake of theirs) we need to trust Lee's judgement on whoever starts out of each
It must be said, Wycombe never created one clear chance.....great defending by our lads.
Apart from the point blank header Phillips saved near the end and the point blank shot that luckily hit his leg earlier on. Wycombe deserved a point. But as I said earlier on, we seem to have forgotten how to lose. Not a bad trait for a team in the play offs.

5 games to go let's win them all and who knows .
15-points separate us from Peterborough; if they lose on Saturday and we get a point our Play-Off spot is confirmed
Pearce and Bauer superb. Cullen, Taylor and Aribo miles better than League One.

All in all a very satisfying 3 points away from home.
They are 7 points clear for back to back promotions- everyone thinks you have done brilliantly Luton....just don’t be greedy!
Sounds like they did us a proud, just as they did at Plymouth - rewarded with 6 points and 0 goals conceded.
Well done all you loud travelling Addicks.
