Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Simon Matthews

14 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.

Market

Luke Berry 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 Cheltenham Town for Emmanuel Sol-Loza

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

Market

Gassan Ahadme attracts admirers

The name of Gassan Ahadme has come up in conversations Charlton Athletic were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Late improvement for Amari'i Bell

At 33 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Squad

Sonny Carey 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Charlton Athletic

Joe Rankin-Costello and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Charlton Athletic rebuffed over Daniele Montevago

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Modena have kept their man, and Charlton Athletic go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ignacio González

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

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Simon Matthews

38 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.

Market

Terms done: Daniel Kanu is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Heracles waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Charlton Athletic is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market

Ignacio González 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.

Transfer targets

An offer of $2.4M for Aribim Pepple

Charlton Athletic have gone to Plymouth Argyle with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market

Universitatea Craiova watching Lloyd Jones

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Charlton Athletic have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Charlton Athletic turn down Académico de Viseu for Gassan Ahadme

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

The dugout

Keehan Willows keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Charlton Athletic may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets

Baylee Dipepa due for a Charlton Athletic medical

Everything agreed with Southampton, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

A row about effort at Charlton Athletic

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

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Amari'i Bell breaks a bone — 39 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 39 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

9 saves: Will Mannion was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

The step up is real for Tommy Reid

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match

Charlton Athletic rescue it on 94 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 94. Bristol City had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

The dugout

Conor Coventry gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Tyreece Campbell rescues a point for Charlton Athletic

It needed Tyreece Campbell to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Bristol City, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout

Anthony Allen on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Anthony Allen after the 2‑2 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
