Pool Wigan and Cambridge to win
If Stevenage lose and we win we can go 7th and only one point off Oxford

Why? Football is about winning and trying to win.

I'd rather roll the dice and go for it.

Fair enough, but Orient are at home, on a real run of form, breathing down our necks and now one of three teams we need to finish above to get into the playoffs.
It’s partly about stopping them as much as anything.
I am sure we can beat them, but we are Jekyll and Hyde away from home. A point there would be a good result IMO.

We are more jekyll than hyde away from home. No idea why we are going tuesday but just cant help myself. It’s the hope that kills ya. Inconsistent FC. Just pray we get something going all that way.

Funny game football.it wasn’t long ago the Oxford fan was on here telling us to watch the gap,beat Leyton Orient and that gap will be 1pt on level games.Oxfords next 3 games include Portsmouth away and Bolton away and I can see them dropping out of the play offs soon they’ve only won one game in 9.

Charlton have picked up since sacking the energy vampire.
 
Patience is the key against Orient, we don't have to force this result because a point away at the form team would be a good result.
I'm not saying shut up shop and play for a draw because we can't do that, but wait for them to commit to attack and hit them on the counter attack. We really do have the players to do that!!

We’ve left it too late to get into the top six and I wouldn’t be confident if we did get there it’d be just like us to fold at Leyton orient

4 points off 6th with 12 games to go and it's too late?

Grab a copy of The Perfect 10, stick it on and stop being so negative. It's not over by a long way yet!

Left it too late. Yes, only 12 games to go, a quarter of the season. Oxford were 8 points clear of us with 2 games in hand, games they were going to win...
 
Don't worry about the other fixtures .We have to worry about ourselves . Saying that we always do well away from home ,under floodlights and playing in London.

Who happen to be the form side in the league.
I'd take a point now as our away form continues to be shite.

Highest scorers in the league over 10 games - we know from that opening passage on Saturday that we do look vulnerable at the back and so does Critch throw the kitchen sink at it or does he sit back and hope to remain in a game that he can then change (from experience of this manager I would say the latter!).
