Charlton captain Greg Docherty acknowledges the team's crucial upcoming matches in their bid to steer clear of a relegation battle. With three games remaining, Charlton aims to improve their home record, starting with their clash against promotion-chasing Ipswich at The Valley.
Despite being six points clear of the bottom three, the team is aware of the importance of these matches. Ipswich has the worst away record among the top ten Championship teams, and Charlton has previously beaten them at Portman Road this season.
Docherty emphasizes the need for his team to capitalize on their home advantage, having not won in six games and drawing all three points from away matches. He believes the team has been competitive but lacks the finishing touch, having numerous scoring opportunities without converting them into goals.
Charlton's home form has been a concern, with only eight league wins at The Valley, and Docherty is determined to improve this record. The team's ability to take points from top teams will be crucial in their upcoming matches, and Docherty is confident in their ability to rise to the challenge. As captain, he has led by example, with the joint-highest number of assists and the highest number of tackles among his teammates.
Docherty reflects on his personal performance, acknowledging a mid-season dip but finishing strong, and is committed to doing everything possible to help the team win more games.
