    Good weve beaten them recently so the players will be aware of that fact
    And their still reeling from missing out on Auto, i want to play them.

    Scunthorpe's from is pretty impressive if they win this as well. They'll be the in form team come the playoffs at this rate.

    All kick started by a win at the Valley. Very frustrating.

    Plymouth look completely flat. Hopefully that will carry on into the second half and the next game and we can have a nap

    Interesting that the Championship Final Day game has already been announced.

    Wonder if they're waiting for the outcome of this Scunny game to decide what to put on

    Playing Shrewsbury doesn't concern me too much. They're still decent, but their form has slowly waned as the season has gone on. Think their smallish squad is starting to suffer a bit of fatigue and that tiredness will make that bit harder to pick themselves up again. They've known for a few weeks though so it won't be quite the same hard psychological blow as losing out in the last game or two of the season.

    We're not head and shoulders above any of the teams in the play-off hunt, but neither do we need to fear any of them. The availability of Fosu, and perhaps one of Zyro or Mavididi finding their best form could be the difference for us because I worry that teams might try to keep it a bit tighter against us and we may struggle to break them down. If teams go gung-ho against us, as they often do in play-off semi finals, then we might well fare better.

    TBF we have beaten Rotherham, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Shrewsbury and Blackburn recently. We were always going to have one shite performance against a top team in this division. Just happened to be Scunny.

    God I agree with you re: Shrews but they were so good at The Valley and I'm afraid all of this dancing before the end zone stuff is the pride before the fall.

    poor game imo. Livened up for 5 minutes once Scunny scored but dearie me, these 2 teams are bang average. No real skill & a lot of miss-hit passes.

    I do like the way the commentator has been saying that Plymouth are missing their main striker............we've not had one all season.

    Oh I know, but it's still frustrating that it had to be Scunthorpe because not only were they rivals, they were in poor form and that win has acted as the catalyst for their revival as promotion hopefuls. I think they'd have been dead and buried weeks ago if we had beaten them, and maybe we wouldn't have need to beat Blackburn, for example. Its the Charlton way to make life hard for ourselves though.

    As long as we do em at Wembley, if it comes to that, it'll all be alright in the end.

    Absolutely, no chickens being counted here. Just discussing hypotheticals right now.

    I still think people get the story of that game wrong. We were bad, but they were really, really good and they stopped us from playing.

    They looked bang average a couple weeks ago and I don't think we were that great but we got a bit of luck and showed a bit of grit, two things that haven't happened much this year.

    To me they put in the best away performance at The Valley this year. I think they suffered from being Shrewsbury, and all of us myself very much included wrote off their early success. But I think if Rovers or Wigan had put in that performance we'd all be singing their praises.
