Charlton and Norwich. Or Charlton and Leeds! If the media want to write us off then f@ck em they've never done us any favours before anyway- or given us any credit for that matter. We are good enough to stay the pace and despite injuries and suspensions and a thinner squad Charlton have a resiliance and never say die attitude this year, we have our mojo back and I f@@kin' love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on you REDS!!!!
Everyone outside of Charlton thinks it's Leeds/Norwich, despite us still only having lost 2 league games and potentially equal on points with Norwich on monday, doesn't bother me if we keep quietly winning points...
if we win and it's a massive if, Leeds still have two games in hand. Personally I can't see them not getting promoted, though hopefully their FA Cup adventure can distract them from their main aim

Less than 4 weeks ago, Leeds were 9 points clear at the top.
Games in hand are, erm .....handy, but it's points in the bag that count.
A dozen games ago, Norwich were outside the play off positions.
Now look where they are.
And it can all change again.
Best part of half a season to go yet.
I wouldn't say it's overtly negative to say Leeds and Norwich are favourites, why wouldn't they be? Norwich have won 10 games in a row, many of them convincingly, and Leeds have the best squad in the division.
However, that's different to saying we can't go up automatically. We're level on points with Norwich who have lost Holt for 3 games and only scraped past Brentford, and Leeds are looking a little shaky and distracted by their cup run. With both sides yet to come to the Valley, we can do it, and as a Charlton fan I believe we will. COYR!
I don't get all the hype about where Southampton might finish - they're currently three points off the relegation zone. Give them back the ten points and they're still outside the play-offs.
[cite]Posted By: buckshee[/cite]Said for weeks now that Norwich will be champs and we will be second with Col U up through the play offs
I'm starting to think/hope that as well. I can see Leeds staying down for another season, which would be hilarious and Huddersfield winning the playoffs.
