Addicks relishing promotion tussle

The Addicks are still four points behind second-placed Leeds despite the recent 4-0 defeat at Millwall and Saturday's home draw against Gillingham, during which the players were booed off at half-time."We're enjoying it," said Parkinson."It might not look like it at times - and no-one enjoyed getting beaten by Millwall - but we're pushing for promotion and this should be the sort of season which excites players and fans."The players are frustrated, too. They are trying their best and they want to be successful. I think back to when we were away in Ireland in pre-season, and the threadbare squad we had with about 10 senior players."If you'd said to me then that with nine games to go we'd be in with a chance of automatic promotion I'd have said that would be fantastic."
