windermereROYAL Yes pleased with tonight`s results, Charlton are the team we all expected to get out of it, the teams around us are the sides we expected to be down there, still all to play for, only 2 points off 16th place.
Just need to get a few points and a cushion before March 22nd, tax payment day.
Looking at the run-in for sides, Charlton have the easiest end of the season (based on current positions) compared to everyone else in the bottom eleven.
Other than Port Vale, we have the hardest run-in and beyond Saturday, we have by far the hardest run-in on paper:
- 2 Mar - Carlisle (A) - 24th
- 9 Mar - Wycombe (H) - 14th
- 12 Mar - Derby (A) - 2nd
- 16 Mar - Cambridge (H) - 16th
- 23 Mar - Bristol Rvrs (A) - 12th
- 29 Mar - Northampton (H) - 11th
- 1 Apr - Bolton (A) - 3rd
- 6 Apr - Lincoln (H) - 10th
- 13 Apr - Barnsley (A) - 4th
- 20 Apr - Burton (A) - 17th
- 27 Apr - Blackpool (H) - 9th
We really have to get at least a point from every home game - with wins against Wycombe and Cambridge probably being essential. We'll probably have to beat Carlisle and get at least a point at Bristol Rovers and Burton. Doing the minimum listed in those games would get us to 52 points.
The hope is Bristol Rovers, Northampton, Lincoln, Burton and Blackpool will all have nothing to play for when we get around to playing them, with Barnsley safely in the play-offs.
