Match

4 matches without a win for Charlton Athletic

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Charlton Athletic are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Charlton Athletic

Josh Edwards was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Sheffield take the points off Charlton Athletic

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Ibrahim Fullah runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

5 new faces, and Charlton Athletic are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Charlton Athletic pick somebody else ahead of Amari'i Bell

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Emmanuel Sol-Loza

30 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Charlton Athletic lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom

The Charlton Athletic board want somebody sold

The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.

Market

Paris Lock asks to leave Charlton Athletic

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

4 matches without a win for Charlton Athletic

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Charlton Athletic are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Josh Edwards in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Charlton Athletic this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Miles Leaburn

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Miles Leaburn, and the manager let it.

Squad

Conor Coady falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sonny Carey

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Charlton Athletic draw a blank against Huddersfield Town

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Huddersfield Town defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.
