Our big problem is goal difference.
With their goal difference 12 better than us, Millwall can afford to draw at huddersfield and win their last 3. If they do that, 4 wins for us won't be enough.
Leeds can also afford to lose to us and if they win the other 3 their goal difference will see them above us even if we win our last 4.
Unless we start winning games 4-0 we might not make it even if we win all 4.

Southampton with their huge goal difference can accumulate a max of 78 points.
Huddersfield are now on 71 points - and surely should be able to collect 8 points from their last 12.
They play Millwall and Colchester at home; Stockport and Exeter away.
Thank God Huddersfield equalised and scored their winner in time added on!

Still hopeful of 2nd place but it will take 4 wins and some luck with other results.[/quote]
I think they just have a little too much to do, will just miss out, but based on a decent run in by Huddersfield, who just hold them off

I know we shouldnt worry about this, but me too! Well done on Huddersfield!
we COULD win our last 4, but is a big ask seeing we have Leeds & Norwich to play at home & can't see that a 1-0 win ala tonight will suffce.
Even so, I still think it will come down to goal difference and unless we trouce Leeds by 3 or 4 clear goals and Millwall have a heavy defeat along the way I feel that we could be gutted come 5pm on the 8th May !

Last time I looked a 1-0 scoreline was enough to secure the three points Golfie, so yes, I think that would suffice!

Southampton cannot get in the play-offs.
Hope this helps.

. They very much can. They have a game in hands and would be 5 points off Huddersfield if they win it
Huddersfield v Millwall is massive on Friday. If Huddersfield win then we can catch Millwall AND Southampton are highly unlikely to catch Huddersfield. Any other result and we will struggle to catch Millwall and I fear Southampton make the play offs.....come on Huddersfield!
In a word, no.
To many dropped points and indifferent performances throughout the season.
We would need a huge slice of luck and I haven't seen much of that at the Valley in recent years.
Norwich are up (although not mathmatically), so we have to hope other will all drop points and we win all ours.
It aint going to happen. We aint spent money, we haven't got, and it shows.
Yeah boi!!!! it is in our court really as cant see millwall winning all there games and they'll lose to huddersfield on Friday, if we win all remaining games then we will get 2nd imo
great resolve in this team at the mo.... great point at Huddersfield and the narrow loss to Southampton where we deserved a point and the rest wins with clean sheets, playing to our strengths... nothing fancy...
4 wins is all we can do...... and if we do it we will go up...

agree, Huddersfield are decent at home and fancy them to get something from this

And I believe with a huge atmosphere Saturday we can win the last 4 and go up.
COME ON CHARLTON
Can we do it ......?
I bet all the teams around us are saying that too!
