Charlton Must Enhance Home Form to Avoid Relegation Battle

Charlton captain Greg Docherty acknowledges that his team has a crucial trio of upcoming matches to conclude their first season back in the Championship, as they strive to prevent an immediate return to League One. With six points separating Charlton from the bottom three, Docherty emphasized the importance of their home record, stating that the team's current run of six games without a win has added to the anxiety. However, he remains optimistic, citing their previous victory over Ipswich at Portman Road and the fact that Ipswich has the worst away record among the top ten Championship teams. Docherty expressed his confidence in the team's ability to compete against top teams, highlighting their form in taking points from big teams. He also reflected on his personal performance, acknowledging his reputation for the 'ugly side of the game' but expressing his desire to contribute more in terms of goals and assists. As the season draws to a close, Docherty and Charlton are focused on improving their home record and securing their place in the Championship for the 2026/27 campaign.
