Match

Charlton Athletic bow out of the cup

Brentford go through and Charlton Athletic go home, 1‑5 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad

Will Mannion keeps Charlton Athletic in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The terraces

A cup hiding at Brentford leaves Charlton Athletic explaining themselves

1-5, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Conor Coventry delivers — 7.71

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Conor Coventry scored, was marked 7.71, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Match

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 Brentford in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match

Miles Leaburn’s goal not enough for Charlton Athletic

Miles Leaburn scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Watford, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

A row about effort at Charlton Athletic

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Charlton Athletic

Timothy Ouma and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout

No hiding place for Conor Coady

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

In brief
