Charlton captain Greg Docherty recognizes the importance of improving their home record as they face a crucial trio of matches to conclude their first season back in the Championship and avoid an immediate return to League One. With six points separating them from the bottom three, Charlton's fate remains in their own hands, despite a worrisome run of six winless games. Docherty acknowledges the team's recent performance, stating, 'We're not oblivious to where we are in the league table.' The Addicks are set to host Ipswich, who have the worst away record among the top ten Championship teams, and Hull, before visiting Swansea on the final day. Despite their current standing, Charlton has shown resilience, particularly in their away draws.
Docherty emphasizes the need to capitalize on scoring opportunities, which have been lacking in recent home games. He expresses confidence in his team's ability to compete against top-tier sides, citing their previous win against Ipswich at Portman Road. The captain believes that a strong end to the season will be pivotal in securing their Championship status, and he is determined to lead his team to victory, drawing from the experience of last season's promotion under Nathan Jones.
