The main moaner narrative now is that there is nothing left to play for. But as Curbs has pointed out, the more we have a good finish to the season, the easier it will be to recruit the players we want to recruit to challenge for promotion.
Nathan Jones is certainly taking tomorrow's trip to Cambridge tomorrow seriously.
Jones told the SLP''s Richard Cawley that he will continue to field his strongest starting line-up: Jones: "If George Dobson is in my best 11 - regardless of whether he is coming out of contract or not - that is fine. "I've been critical before, or in my mind, of teams who are mid-table and want to experiment. Trying to do things differently causes problems when a team is trying to stay in the Football League."
"For example when I was at Luton there was a team in the Championship which wanted to experiment but we were still trying to stay in there. That won't be Charlton Athletic. We will be trying to be the best version of us - with integrity, with credibility and try to pick our best 11 to win every game. That's what we do."
Not only are Charlton certain to get the League One draw specialists trophy, they also in line for the trophy for the whole EFL. I have not had a good season with predictions in the Badger League, but 2-2 tomorrow may not be far off the likely result.
I haven't analysed all the draws, but I think that defensive shortcomings account for lot of them not being wins. Also, most games now go on for over 100+ minutes, indeed Charlton's games are very often the last to finish. Fitness may be a factor.
Cambridge have a far better home than away record and are fighting for League One survival. However, they are five points clear of Burton Albion and Port Fail. I think that Fleetwood and Cheltenham are destined for the drop and the final position will go either to the Brewers or the Valiants.
