Nobody could get near Tyreece Campbell
Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Lloyd Jones 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.

Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Charlton Athletic and Swansea City in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

The manager makes an example of Will Mannion
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Charlton Athletic promote John Young from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. John Young has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Joseph Barnes steps up from the Charlton Athletic academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Joseph Barnes has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Timothy Turner joins the Charlton Athletic first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Timothy Turner is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Charlton Athletic promote Simon Jackson from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Simon Jackson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
