Leeds to be toppled on Saturday?

Now that my blood pressure has settled down, it's worth a word on the bigger picture and that improved last night despite the scratchy Charlton performance. The three points we bagged mean that both us and Norwich can draw level on points with the Yorkshire Massives this weekend if we win our respective matches.

Norwich will be odds-on to overwhelm Brentford in Norfolk and we will be similar odds against the O's on Monday even if most of those present last night may feel less confident than the Bookmakers. Leeds meanwhile will have two games in hand as they will be playing another cup tie, this time a potentially stretching match at White Hart Lane which will be the televised late kick-off on Saturday. Leeds could do without a third successive defeat following last night's surprise 2-1 loss at home to Carlisle in the first leg of the JPT Northern Monkey final. Personally, I will be cheering them on for a draw. Suddenly the long-awaited crack may be appearing even if Jason Beckford looks set to play out the remainder of the season in League One. Following the Spurs tie they travel to Swindon on Tuesday evening for a very awkward league match.....

With Huddersfield only managing a draw against the Bees at home, it was left to Swindon to keep pace in the hunt with a 1-0 win at dispirited Stockport. Whilst all the talk is understandably about whether or not we can make an automatic promotion place, the play-offs look increasingly assured as we now sit 15 points clear of 7th.

Addicks fans will be interested to hear that our match at Bristol Rovers scheduled for Saturday 13th February has now been moved back to the Monday night for Sky. Puts a spanner in my plans for a Saturday in Bristol but will save me a ton as I will put my feet up in front of the telly instead.
