Charlton Athletic Acknowledges Challenges in Absence of Key Star.
The Addicks have endured a challenging stretch of form in recent months, although there has been improvement since Jones assumed control. The team managed to secure hard-fought draws against title contenders Bolton Wanderers and Portsmouth, as well as against the in-form Lincoln City.
However, Jones’ primary concern is the need for victories. Charlton Athletic has not won a match in their last 18 outings across all competitions, marking the longest winless streak in the club’s history. It’s noteworthy that the new coach has been at the helm for only four of these 18 games.
Despite the positive draws, the upcoming week poses another tough challenge for the south-east London club. A visit to Pride Park on Tuesday night is followed by a demanding match at Sixfields on Saturday against Northampton Town, a team still in contention for a playoff spot.
