Match

37 matches without a win for Charlton Athletic

The run now stands at 37, and the questions being asked around Charlton Athletic are no longer polite ones.

The terraces

Supporters organise against the Charlton Athletic board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market

Sonny Carey hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Charlton Athletic can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Charlton Athletic turn down Middlesbrough for Abdoullah Ba

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match

Whatever happens, Charlton Athletic do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Market

Eyes on Amari'i Bell again

The phone has started ringing about Amari'i Bell again, and this time the name on the line is West Bromwich Albion. Charlton Athletic are listening politely and promising nothing.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Joe Rankin-Costello

“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.

Squad

A row about effort at Charlton Athletic

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ibrahim Fullah was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Joseph Wright signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joseph Wright commits to Charlton Athletic for another 3 years.
