Barnsley collected 3 points tonight - and Pboro got a draw at Leeds. Feel that the teams on the slide such as Wolves,'Udd and Millwall really have problems now.
2 more wins and we are safe, as you say it is the teams just below us who need to panic, let's hope we somehow turn up for the game against Millwall and beat them, could really send them in to a relegation spiral, whilst putting us almost to the line of safety.
Doubt it though, we will stay up but sadly will have to play them again next season.

Would be great to stuff it up Littles arris and send them into a relegation struggle (and for Blackburn to stuff them too), and for it to send us to safety.
For God's sake let's keep a sense of proportion here. We are 12th. There are a 11 (ELEVEN) teams below us with just 9 games left. Anyone who thinks a) we will lose all 9 games or b) that ALL those 11 teams or others will somehow. miraculously, engage on a winning run leaving us third from bottom and relegated should be consigned to a lunatic asylum instantly. WE ARE SAFE from relegation!!! This wrist-slitting is because of our shite home performances. On home form we would be relegated. Fortunately our away form is superb and, surprisingly (sarcasm here) , it is is a combination of the two which determines league position! Home supporters have been deprived of seeing a home win and CP doing his tunnel jump but I hope the fans (and whoever 'owns' the club - as it is surely not the fans) view this campaign as a success and build on next season. Tomorrow I will buy two season tickets for 2013-14.

Not sure there was any wrist-slitting or panic in this thread, quite positive really which is why i posted as im tired of certain posters always moaning about everything as you clearly are to. :-)

I'm sorry, who on this thread has suggested that we are still in any threat of relegation?
I'm sure the point was that Wolves, Huddersfield and Millwall with terrible form are, potentially, in trouble.
"For God's sake" try to read the thread before you explode!
in last 10 matches, Barnsley have 20 points, Pboro 17, Titties 14, and only 8 points cover the bottom half.
Yes but that's the point. Barnsley can't keep that up for the next ten games, because they are Not Very Good
Good enough to collect 20 points out of last 30 though ! If that 'Not Very Good' then i bet Leicester and a few others wished they werent very good !. Not as if any of the others are taking their foot off the pedal.
Must say I've thought for a few weeks now that we are safe simply because of the number of teams that would have to get past us. It is amazing how tight it is though.

Legal, did you miss your tablets (TABLETS ) tonight?
Noones mentioning us being relegated - i think if you read my first post, i stated Wolves.Udd and Millwall are the ones in trouble now - along with maybe Derby - thats DERBY.
Consistency, of individuals as well as teams, is what marks out the successful from the less so. That's why Oldham and Bradford can go on spectacular Cup runs but fail to do so in the league. One game in ten, Paul Mortimer looked like the best player we'd ever seen at the Valley. The other nine... I'll bet you Barnsley don't get more than 14 from the next ten

You might be right - but i bet its more than 2 out of Wolves,Udd and Millwall. You cant argue with momentum - it induces confidence - and its something Barnsley obviously have at the moment whereas the other 3 dont.

Yes but that's the point. Barnsley can't keep that up for the next ten games, because they are Not Very Good
You're forgetting that Barnsley are magic. They have an unbelievable knack of escaping the drop without ever seeming to win any matches. They only stayed up last season due to Pompey's 10 point deduction

But if they get 13 from the next ten they would have 54 points and I would imagine that would make them perfectly safe, which means that one of Wolves, Ipswich, Sheff Wed, Huddersfield or Millwall will go down. I'm sure that was the initial point that the chap that started this thread was making.
To reiterate I don't recall anyone mentioning us in the mix here, merely that one of those teams just above the drop zone could be pulled in. I'm not sure if it was even suggested that one of those teams would go down, just that they must be looking at Barnsley's result tonight and feeling a little pressure.

Good point KHA, 54 points will certainly make them safe you would expect. I cant honestly see Wolves or Udd getting that figure nor Millwall should we beat them on saturday - they aint gonna feel great after being dumped out of the Cup and then beaten by their neighbours.
I genuinely find it hard to predict who will go down this season, as current positions are no reflection of current form. Middlesbrough, for example are on a shocking run, 7 defeats in their last 10 matches, yet are still 9th! Working up the table
Bristol - bottom, but decent new manager, looked good on Saturday, only 3 defeats in last 10. Wolves - in real trouble, poor form and already in bottom 3 Peterborough - playing well, on a good run of form, only 2 defeats in last 10 Barnsley - in very good form, 6 wins in last 10. Ipswich - so so form, but surely Big Mick will keep them up? bad GD Wednesday - seem to be winning enough games to keep above water? Hudders - so so form, bad GD Millwall - terrible form, games in hand, 5 points clear at the moment Blackburn - poor form, 6 points clear at the moment Derby - poor form, 6 points clear at the moment Brum - so so form, but keep nicking crucial wins Blackpool - were on bad run but have stopped rot Charlton - so so form, but keep nicking crucial wins Burnley - average form, 9 points clear
It is not just this single thread. There is a constant 'woe is us' air that fails to recognise that we are mid-table. The title is 'other teams are winning'. So what is the inference to be drawn from that, other than (at home) we are not and that relegation is to be feared? Otherwise what is the purpose of the thread? It surely isn't 'teams at the bottom are winning but who gives a fuck cos we are safe' is it? President finished his comment with 'We need another couple of wins to make sure.' Sure of what precisely President? Let me complete the sentence... to make sure we don't get relegated'?
I am not 'exploding' KHA - far from it. I am VERY happy at our league position and yes I would welcome a home win or three (especially this coming Saturday) but with almost no expenditure the team have and will achieve a position of which many others will be envious.

It was a thread discussing how the teams below us could get dragged in to the bottom 3 due to the form of the teams in the bottom 3 now it has turned in to a thread about you and PA initially not reading the other comments ;-), not sure why every thread has to be about Charlton on this site for it to be worth discussing especially when it is football related, either way probably best to read the actual comments rather then write your response based on your assumed view of the content from the title. :-)
I just assumed this thread was another attempt to point out that Millwall were, fingers crossed, going down.
If we lose all our remaining games I suspect that we would be in trouble, but I can't see that. However, having looked into it, I can see Millwall failing to pick up more than four more points which gives them 48 and I can see that being few enough for them to win a place in League One for next season - which is nice!
Ignoring my personal desires on the subject I would bet my house on us picking up the required five or six points (and a few more, frankly) to avoid relegation. I'm optimistic that we might just make the top ten which would be our highest placed finish since we were relegated from the Premier League.

There's a small chance of us making the top 10, but it's unlikely we'll top the 64 points we got in 2007/08 when we finished 11th - how did we crash so badly the next season?
Interestingly, that year the bottom team Colchester got 38 points, a total reached already by all bottom 3 clubs with 9 games left to go, but 3rd from bottom was Leicester with a remarkably high 52 points!
Actually Gretna it would be helpful if YOU read my post and understood it. As I pointed out, the final comment was clearly aimed at OUR position not a general view on other teams. Frankly I dont give a fuck who goes down as long as it isn't us. Others may have a preference for the Wendies or Wolves etc etc but personally I don't care.

Doubt it though, we will stay up but sadly will have to play them again next season.
I would not say there is any team "GONE" at this stage in the season and you don't say that very often.
I'm sure the point was that Wolves, Huddersfield and Millwall with terrible form are, potentially, in trouble.
"For God's sake" try to read the thread before you explode!
100% agree, except I can't justify a season ticket.
They can't all go on a winning run, becaus they have to play each other. And we are not playing like a team that Is going to lose nine games in a row.
47 points early March?. In August I'd have bitten your arm off for that

Bristol - bottom, but decent new manager, looked good on Saturday, only 3 defeats in last 10.
Wolves - in real trouble, poor form and already in bottom 3
Peterborough - playing well, on a good run of form, only 2 defeats in last 10
Barnsley - in very good form, 6 wins in last 10.
Ipswich - so so form, but surely Big Mick will keep them up? bad GD
Wednesday - seem to be winning enough games to keep above water?
Hudders - so so form, bad GD
Millwall - terrible form, games in hand, 5 points clear at the moment
Blackburn - poor form, 6 points clear at the moment
Derby - poor form, 6 points clear at the moment
Brum - so so form, but keep nicking crucial wins
Blackpool - were on bad run but have stopped rot
Charlton - so so form, but keep nicking crucial wins
Burnley - average form, 9 points clear
Leeds - 99% safe with 52 points!
