Weather permiting, all Football League clubs will play two games over the Easter weekend.

Charlton have two difficult looking fixtures, in-form Bolton Wanderers at home followed by Brighton at the Amex.

Addicks fans will be more interested in the fate of the teams below them, than those above as the season reaches its denouement. Charlton currently have 47 points from 38 games, compared to the sides below them who have:

Huddersfield              38/47

Blackpool                   38/46

Blackburn                    37/46

Ipswich                         38/46

Barnsley                       37/44

Sheffield Wednesday  37/43

Peterborough                38/42

Wolves                           38/42

Bristol City                     38/39

Easter is traditionally the time when many of the promotion and relegation issues become clearer. Most sides will have just six games to go after the holiday weekend.

These are the fixtures the nine teams below the Addicks will play over the coming weekend.

Huddersfield – Hull (h), Bolton (a).

Blackpool – Blackburn (a), Crystal Palace (h).

Blackburn – Blackpool (h), Cardiff (a).

Ipswich – Leeds (h), Millwall (a).

Barnsley – Sheffield Wednesday (a), Leicester (h).

Sheffield Wednesday – Barnsley (h), Bristol City (a).

Peterborough – Cardiff (h), Middlesbrough (a).

Wolves – Middlesbriugh (h), Birmingham (a).

Bristol City – Derby (a), Sheffield Wednesday (h).

Sheffield Wednesday have a huge couple of matches. Just a point above the drop zone – albeit with a game in hand – both of their games are against fellow strugglers. Two defeats would leave them staring at the trap door, whereas two wins would all but assure them of safety.

Huddersfield and Peterborough look to have the most difficult set of games and a poor Easter would all but extinguish Posh’s chances of survival.

Both Charlton and Barnsley will be viewing their clash at Oakwell on 13 April as a huge game. The Addicks have to negotiate a fixture with Leeds before facing that game at Barnsley, quickly followed by a trip to South Wales to face Cardiff City.

Chris Powell will be aware of the huge significance of the holiday fixtures and, like his fellow managers, he will not want the weather interfering. The staff at the various training grounds will play big parts in the current, unseasonal arctic conditions, the teams able to prepare as normal will have the edge over those who are confined to the gym.
