Runaway League 1 leaders Charlton Athletic travel to Dean Court on Saturday, looking to maintain their unbeaten run in 2012, the only side within the football league with this status intact. Following crushing wins over Stevenage and Chesterfield in the past 3 days respectively, they currently lie 13 points ahead of 2nd placed Sheffield United and 15 points clear of 3rd placed Sheffield Wednesday.
Few would have predicted that with 21 new summer recruits Charlton would have found this league so easy, and with 13 games still to go some may now say that 100 points is up for grabs. Brighton fell just short last season after they lost their final two games to finish the season on a very respectable 95 points. With the Addicks 16 points clear of what Brighton were on at this very stage last season, you feel it would be inevitable to achieve the feat. However during the week it was thought Chris Powell had told his players to still keep their feet firmly on the ground. I’m sure he will not want to be reminded of the nightmare he had the backend of last season, winning just two of their final 19 games. One thing is for sure his Charlton lads will have to be at their best this weekend, when they come against a decent Bournemouth side, still not out of the playoff mix. It also means a return to their former clubs for both left-back Rhoys Wiggins and midfielder Danny Holland’s.
Coinciding with this fine run of form for the Addicks is the recent revisit to goal scoring form for Bradley Wright-Phillips. Before Saturday’s game against Stevenage he had not scored in 14 games since netting the only goal in a 1-0 win over Brentford back in November. However he followed that effort against Stevenage with his first ever senior hatrick against Chesterfield to take his tally to 18 goals for the season. Despite his lack of goals Charlton have still not fallen apart and this surely demonstrates how strong the squad Powell has put together is. It appears that his rough patch is now over and Charlton fans can hope he can add to his 18 goals over the final few months of the season as the countdown to promotion gets closer and closer.
Saturdays opponents are 10th placed Bournemouth who are just five points off a playoff spot, although they have played two games more than 6th placed Stevenage. Among their ranks include former Addick Harry Arter who despite showing promise never made it at the Valley. It appears that he has found his feet at Bournemouth and the central midfielder is Bournemouth’s 3rd top goal scorer with 6 goals. The Cherries also recruited Matt Tubbs from Crawley Town. Tubbs, who has a massive 141 career goals from 262 appearances, will be a real threat but surprisingly after scoring on his debut he has not found the net since. Let’s hope this continues on Saturday as we look to extend our lead at the top. 100 points doesn’t feel too far off now.
