Lee Bowyer: Charlton will get promotion. It's not about Portsmouth, Luton or Sunderland

The Addicks are fourth in the table having played a game more than leaders Pompey and second-placed Luton, while they have played two more than third-placed Sunderland.

But Charlton boss Bowyer saw his team beat Shrewsbury 3-0 with some new signings on board.

And he reckons they will shut the gap and catch the teams above them.

He told Charlton's official website: '˜I just said to them 'We will get promotion but you have to do this every time, you can't drop your standards'.

'˜If we keep doing this, what we've done (against Shrewsbury), then there is no reason why we can't go and win every game and I believe it.

'˜We've got a very good side and a good squad and on our day we're a very difficult side to play against and we've just shown that here. Not many teams have come here and done that this season. They haven't dropped many points at home.

'˜I don't think it (promotion) is about the other sides.

'˜It's in our hands, okay we might be a few points behind them but it is in our hands. If we do it properly every game then I think we'll be up there.'

Charlton are seven points back from leaders Pompey but only three behind Luton in the second automatic promotion spot.
