Charlton's Season to be Decided on Saturday
Posted by Jasper Reed in Charlton, Sheffield | 1 December 2006
Saturday’s game against Sheffield United is a pivotal one for Charlton’s season.
Regardless of league position, a game against a newly promoted side and one struggling in the relegation zone represents arguably the best chance for the team to improve on a dismal away record that has yielded 2 wins in a season and a half (and none this season). However, the league table adds extra significance to the result.
A win at Bramall Lane will see us off the bottom of the league for the first time in over 2 months, with Watford not travelling to Man City until Monday. Furthermore, a poignant home game with Blackburn on Tuesday offers a great chance to back up this win, build team confidence , and kick-start a wretched season whilst there is still time to save it. December 5th is the 14th anniversary of our emotional return to The Valley.
However, the flipside of this is that defeat against the Blades will leave us languishing in last place, a full 7 points behind our victors who may well still find themselves occupying a relegation place. In other words, at least 3 wins from ‘safety’. Its not to much of a stretch to say that Charlton would be as good as down even before the transfer window has opened.
Here’s hoping that the Blades are not mightier than the sword in South Yorkshire on Saturday…..
