Charlton now beating QPR.

[sputnik]

9 minutes. come on urzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[PremAddict]

2 losses at home is just not acceptable. A friendly reminder that a top-two finish is outside the realm of possibility...

[Royal Ginger]

That was particularly frustrating.

FT Reading 0-1 Blackburn

An opportunity wasted. C'est la vie...

[CholseyRoyal]

apparently there was a handball in the box that wasnt given.

Should also have been a red card as well.

[Royal Lady]

Still 6th, one point ahead of Wigan and 13 points behind an automatic place I think.

[Libertine]

Yep...With today's results Wigan are just 1 point behind us and have a game in hand. I think we should put any thoughts of an automatic promotion out of our minds and just concentrate on making the play-offs.

[Royal Lady]

We've got to defo concentrate on play offs - but after today's result, it's going to be a tough ask with Wigan on our heels.

This, but even making the playoffs might be a struggle were 5 points off forest in 5th and the 3 teams below us have a game in hand

[Winchester Royal]

Well at least nobody got sent off today.

I have a feeling the rest of the season will be a massive struggle. But it doesn't matter how many points off 5th we are as long as we end up 6th. We can't keep dropping points in games (especially at home like Wednesday and Blackburn) we must be winning if we are to have a chance.

So our traditional end of season charge doesn't look like it will materialise...praying for the play offs

[super darren caskey]

I think we should be playing Drenthe more often maybe in place of Jobi.

We're probably going to go on a 2002 or 2005 style second half of the season when we only win 2 or 3 games of those remaining.

I don't. How he can call himself a professional athlete is beyond me..... it's embarrassing. Typified by him falling over by the lino after running about 30 yards to get the ball & being utterly knackered despite only being on for half an hour.

Get him out in the summer please. Give me a Jobi over a a Royston "I've eaten all the crisps & then some" every day of the week.

[super darren caskey]

Yeah he is a bit plump but i think with more game time he could be a match winner.He hasn't really played much since he arrived and we certainly haven't seen the best of him so far.

Therein lies the problem....Adkins will quite rightly refuse to play him until he gets himself fit enough to resemble something that looks like a pro footballer. Can't see that day ever coming TBH. Agree he has talent but clearly not cut out for football any more & should probably just retire.

At the ripe old age of 26 ?

[Chuckle Brother]

That will be because of all the stoppages that happened.......
