Bowyer calls for Charlton to keep foot on the pedal

Lee Bowyer has warned Charlton they cannot afford to take their foot off the pedal if they are to keep their dream of playing Sky Bet Championship football next season alive.The Addicks head into Friday evenings League One play-off semi-final, second leg clash with Doncaster having already been served with warning that the job is far from done despite their first leg victory at the Keepmoat Stadium on Sunday.First-half goals from Lyle Taylor and Joe Aribo looked to have put Bowyers men firmly in the driving seat for a trip to Wembley, but Matty Blairs late strike kept Rovers in it.Bowyer told the clubs official website: Weve got a one-goal lead going into the home leg, so were in a good position, especially with our home record this season.But we have to respect Doncaster, theyre a good side. Theyve got players that can hurt you and theyre good from set-pieces.We just have to be professional and have the right attitude and not take our foot off the pedal, which I doubt will happen anyway because the group that we have has been exceptional all season.Bowyer has no fresh injury concerns with striker Josh Parker fit after limping off at the Keepmoat with cramp, and opposite number Grant McCann will be similarly untroubled when he comes to select his team.McCann is acutely aware of the Addicks home record they have not lost in the league at the Valley since October but he did guide his team to a 2-0 FA Cup second round victory there in December, albeit against a much-changed side.Now he is urging his players not to pass up an opportunity to change their lives.He told the clubs official website: Weve got to this stage and were here because we deserve to be here, make no mistake about that.Weve proven over 46, 47 games that were a good team, so lets not settle for second best, lets make sure we give everything and if we come unstuck and things dont go our way, then at least we can hold our hands up and say we gave it everything we have.Were two wins away from playing in the Championship and when you say it like that, it does make you think. Something like that can change the lives and careers of everyone in that changing room.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
