Karl Robinson believes Charlton need to reach 70 points to finish in the top six this season.
The Addicks are in eighth place on 51 points and have won just once in seven games.
It means Robinson’s men would have to win seven of their remaining 11 fixtures or win six and draw one to break into the play-offs.
The Charlton manager told News Shopper: “You need to get in the 70s, that’s usually the benchmark.

“Most people look at 70-plus as sixth place.
“I think 69 is generally the team that finishes 7th. One point above that [usually gets you into the play-offs].”
