Charlton enter for the Seventh time into the Football League Play Offs this Sunday evening away at Wycombe Wanderers. The addicks go into this first leg with 22 points from their last 10 games and have an in form striker in Matt Gooden who has 8 goals in those 10 games.

Charlton have already done the double over Wycombe with a 2-1 Home win just after Christmas and arguably their most impressive performance of the season when they won 4-0 at Adams Park on Easter Monday.

Charlton’s previous play off campaigns go as far back as 1987 in that epic Friday night at St Andrews when 2 late goals in Extra Time by Peter Shirtliff secured their place in the First Divsion.

1996 saw Charlton finish in 6th place but went out in the Semi Finals with 2 defeats to Crystal Palace, however 2 years later saw arguably one of the greatest games at the Old Wembley Stadium when they won on penalties against Sunderland, after a 4-4 draw after Extra time and that Clive Mendonca Hat Trick which saw promotion to the Premier League.

Twelve years later Charlton faced Swindon Town over 2 legs in the League One Play Offs but suffered penalty heartbreak at the Valley on that Monday night.

2018 saw Charlton under Caretaker Manager, Lee Bowyer reach the play offs but went out in the Semi Finals with 2 defeats to Shrewsbury Town, however 12 months on they secured Championship promotion with an injury time winner from Patrick Bauer against Sunderland.

So what will this time around bring? The Play Offs always brings ups and downs but it’s normally the sides going into it with a good run of form that have the confidence to go all the way, however if Charlton did reach Wembley on the 25th May they would face Stockport or Leyton Orient who have both picked up 25 points from their last 10 games.
