We asked you whether you were feeling nervous about Charlton Athletic’s hunt for survival.
Here is a selection of things you had to say:
James: The team have given the fans a season to be proud of. Nathan Jones has built a squad of good League One players and some average Championship players and positioned us with a great chance of staying up.
To finish fourth-bottom would be the greatest achievement for Charlton in the post-Premier League period.
One more point may be too much to ask of this team that has given its all but six points for Oxford will be a higher mountain to climb for them to secure safety at our expense. But Charlton are full of surprises as Middlesbrough found out a few weeks ago and we might just be able to save ourselves.
Len: Two points from a possible 18 is definitely relegation material. Recent tactics and now fresh injuries won’t help, but I keep the faith.
Kevin: I do fear Charlton could still get relegated. We will struggle to gain the one point needed and fear Oxford could easily beat Sheff Wed and then, heaven forbid, beat our south London neighbours Millwall, who, depending on results, might have nothing to play for and rest their first team for the play-offs.
Melissa: I’m not worried. Charlton are new to the league and have fought hard for many draws that could have tipped into wins.
There’s 12 points between Man United (third) and Arsenal and Man City (joint first/second). The Championship is so much tighter – 12 points and Charlton would be in the top half of the table.
They’ve done really well. Had some bad luck. Learnt a few things I suspect along the way. But they won against Middlesbrough, drew against Millwall, Coventry… they totally have what it takes to turn the huge amount of effort to get those draws into wins next season.
Kim: Charlton just don’t seem to be able to score goals and hold a lead if they do.
Yes, I’m worried they may drop and see the next two games as tough to win. Looking over our shoulder, Oxford may have more fight in them to stay up and we could come unstuck.
But, oh my goodness, c’mon Charlton let’s have at least one good game to end the recent dreadful run and secure Championship football for next season.
Dan: Yes, I’m worried as we look like a team moving backwards.
If you look at goals conceded, we have let in only one more than Southampton and six less than Wrexham and they are in the play-off spots! Our problem is that we do not have a real goalscorer, or someone who can unlock defences. We look inept going forward, and it seems all our players are too afraid to try anything and so end up playing the ball backwards – even when we are losing.
We have missed a fit Matt Godden this season, but if we are going to have any chance in: a) staying up; and b) competing next year, then we need to sort out how we attack – even from midfield – and that’s if we survive.
Last time we were relegated, there were two teams below us on the last day fighting for survival – they both won (one with a last-minute winner) and we lost, sending us down.
Is history going to repeat itself!? I hope not, but I’m fearful!
