Squad4 Sep 2028

Matty Godden damages knee ligaments — 94 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 94 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings4 Sep 2028

Both of them Tyreece Campbell's — 7.97

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 7.97, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match2 Sep 2028

No end in sight to Charlton Athletic's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Charlton Athletic has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Iván Barbero stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Iván Barbero and Charlton Athletic agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market4 Sep 2028

Liam Cooper has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Charlton Athletic they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Tempers go at Charlton Athletic

Lloyd Jones 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.

Match2 Sep 2028

No clean sheets in sight for Charlton Athletic

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Dan Burn 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.

Match2 Sep 2028

Charlton Athletic come up short against Hull City

Hull City left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Rob Apter breaks a bone — 60 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 60 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Matty Godden: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Charlton Athletic have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad6 Mar 2028

A one-man rearguard from Will Mannion

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings6 Mar 2028

Lloyd Jones goes up and wins it — 7.83

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.83 for the rest of it.

Match4 Mar 2028

The wait goes on for Charlton Athletic

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Lloyd Jones signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Lloyd Jones commits to Charlton Athletic for another 2 years.

Match4 Mar 2028

Charlton Athletic come up short against Reading

Reading left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings6 Mar 2028

Sonny Carey runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings6 Mar 2028

Ninety minutes of Ryan Wintle at his very best

Marked 8.09. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Charlton Athletic.

Match22 Dec 2027

Charlton Athletic bow out of the cup

Liverpool go through and Charlton Athletic go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match25 Dec 2027

The wait goes on for Charlton Athletic

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad27 Dec 2027

A one-man rearguard from Will Mannion

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings27 Dec 2027

A chastening introduction for Benjamin Miller — 5.68

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.68 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad27 Dec 2027

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.

Squad27 Dec 2027

Words at Charlton Athletic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ryan Wintle is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad27 Dec 2027

The manager makes an example of Lloyd Jones

“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.

Player ratings27 Dec 2027

A masterclass from Christos Tzolis

Marked 8.21 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match25 Dec 2027

Charlton Athletic and Rotherham United take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad28 Jun 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Emanuel Moreira

43 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.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Will Mannion says Charlton Athletic went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Charlton Athletic

Ryan Wintle 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.
