Millwall continued their steady climb up the League One table with a three-one win at Carlisle this evening and move within four points of the Addicks, both having 11 games left to play. They will be feeling pretty confident about closing the gap on Saturday in front of their biggest home gate for a number of years.
Leeds also won and have extended their lead over the Addicks to five points and are also left with 11 to play. Their 4-1 win at Tranmere sounds like it flattered them as they only managed five efforts on target, but a win's a win and with Snodgrass, Becchio and Beckford all scoring again, perhaps they have woken up and smelt the Championship coffee! Southampton away on Saturday should be a much harder task but they have the points cushion they needed.
The good news was that Swindon lost their second match in four days as they slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Milton Keynes. That leaves then six points adrift of the Addicks with only one game in hand and that's at Southampton on Tuesday after they play Brighton on the south coast on Saturday.
I think what we learn from all this is that it's all tightening up and that our prospects for finishing up in the play-offs looks stronger than ever.
