Charlton captain Greg Docherty recognizes the importance of the team's next three games in determining their Championship status. With six points separating them from the bottom three, Docherty emphasizes the need to improve their home record to steer clear of the relegation battle. The team's upcoming matches against Ipswich and Hull will be crucial in achieving this goal.
Despite a run of six games without a win, Charlton's players remain optimistic, drawing confidence from their previous victory over Ipswich at Portman Road. Docherty acknowledges the team's competitive spirit but notes the lack of goals scored at home as a significant concern. He believes that spreading goals throughout the team and delivering a 90-minute performance will be essential in securing wins.
With a strong end-of-season form under Nathan Jones that led to their promotion last term, Charlton aims to replicate this success and maintain their Championship status. The team's ability to take points from top teams, as seen in their wins against Millwall and Coventry, will be vital in the upcoming matches. As captain, Docherty has led by example, contributing to the team's efforts with the joint-highest number of assists and the highest number of tackles. He strives to improve his overall performance, particularly in adding more goals to his game.
With a focus on winning games and enhancing their home record, Charlton is determined to secure their place in the Championship for the 2026/27 campaign.
