Inside View with Charlton's Scott Wagstaff
A lot of my family may have links to
Leeds but there is no question who I want to win the league this
season – Charlton!
A few people have said to me that it
would be great for me if Charlton and Leeds were both promoted but
all I care about is Charlton.
I will always keep an eye out for
Leeds’ scores and playing at Elland Road earlier this season was
one of the highlights of my career so far, but Charlton come first
and nothing else matters.
Obviously, our main aim this season is
to get promotion but I don’t see any reason why we can’t catch
Leeds.
You should always set targets as high
as possible, as long as they are realistic and we all believe we
can win League 1.
Leeds have a two-point lead and a game
in hand but there is still a long way to go.
We had a chat with the manager
straight after Saturday’s win against Stockport after we found out
some of the other results, such as Leeds and Norwich City dropping
points. He made it clear we should be striving to be top of the
table.
Everyone is playing well at the
moment, so we want games to come thick and fast.
Fortunately, that’s what happens over
Christmas, so hopefully we can pick up a good number of points to
further close the gap on Leeds.
Last weekend seems a long time ago now
and I’m sure everyone will be talking about the match against
Millwall.
I’m told it’s been a long time since
we played them and I’m looking forward to it. Millwall are filling
their end and with our fans behind us, it’ll be an excellent
atmosphere.
It’s going to be a massive game. It’s
a local derby and the fans are going to be behind us the whole
way.
We haven’t been beaten at home since
March and
that’s a record we’re proud
of.
Another win would set us up perfectly
for the festive fixtures.
