We haven’t had many Greg Docherty’s in the past decade. Maybe Dobbo, but since Pearce, Jackson and Pratley no one that you felt would speak and play like they would give literally every last breath in a Charlton shirt.
That sorry state of affairs has turned a big corner under Nathan Jones and Greg Docherty is a major reason for that.
Please click for moreI felt I needed to sleep on last night’s game.
That wasn’t particuarly successful as I couldn’t get our situation out of my head, plus my alarm went off at 4.30am as I had an early flight to catch. The anxiety is real.

This morning I woke with my stomach churning and that was not due to the late night Brick Lane curry.
Please click for moreI’ll take that. 7 massive points this week, and from three such different games.
We were excellent last Saturday at home to Birmingham and thoroughly deserved the 3 points. The long Wednesday trip up north to Middlesbrough saw a masterclass defensive performance and we snuffled all 3 points to take home. Today we were poor, and we contributed to a poor match, but still managed to come away with an important point.

Tuesday was so disappointing, but the players showed real character today to bounce back and take a point from a very good Southampton side, who have individuals a cut above this level.
Please click for moreDefeat today in heavy winds but we can’t be too downhearted. These days were always going to come, but we sit top half as we go into the second international break.
It’s been a long week especially for those travelling fans who today had to beat difficult train and weather conditions, but their backing was magnificent again.

The Addicks were backed by big numbers but it was a very disappointing day as Peterborough unravelled our defensive solidity and we weren’t able to convert even one of many goalscoring opportunities.
Please click for moreA bounce back win, which did not look likely until Nathan Jones made 2nd half changes that turned the game on its head.
On the hour mark we were behind, were short on ideas and another long journey home point-less looked certain.
Please click for moreAbsolutely no idea where that performance came from, but happy that it did. Take nothing away from the team today, they were excellent.
Our most dominant performance away from home for many a season, and chuffed for the 2,000 Addicks who more out of devotion than expectation spent their Saturday before Christmas in Northampton.
Please click for moreOut of the blue this one. 27-year old Greg Docherty signs from Hull City on a three-year contract with a club option of a further 12 months (more).
Another Scotsman to join the ranks, Docherty played 90 games in the Championship in Hull’s last three seasons and before that was a key figure in Hull’s title winning promotion from League One in the ‘Covid season.’
