South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition: Podcast

The good, the bad and the talking points from part one of the 2026-26 Championship season for Charlton Athletic!

Rich Cawley — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 05:01:18 GMT

What, you thought because there was an international break that South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition would not record a podcast?

Well, you were wrong. We might now be in a club football dead zone, but I felt there was still plenty for us to chat about. Luckily pod host Louis ‘Meatballs’ Mendez agreed.

So here we are again.

In this episode we look …

Charlton Athletic winless in five Championship matches after 3-1 defeat at Cardiff City - Nathan Jones quick to criticise performance

Rich Cawley — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 14:54:51 GMT

Charlton Athletic lost 3-1 to Cardiff City this afternoon.

The defeat in South Wales means that the Addicks go into the international break without a victory since the end of August.

Tyreece Campbell scored his fifth goal of the season but Charlton deserved nothing from a contest that the hosts, who had not won in the league this season, pretty much domin…

We look ahead to Charlton Athletic’s match at Cardiff City - can Addicks make sure Welsh club enter the international break still winless?

On this midweek pod, we look ahead to Charlton Athletic’s Championship match at Cardiff City on Saturday.

The Bluebirds are one of only four clubs without a victory in the EFL this season.

The hope is that Nathan Jones’ side can make it a miserable international break by ensuring that their wait for maximum points continues. On this episode we hear from …

Millenic Alli’s glaring miss proves costly as Charlton Athletic forced to settle for second 0-0 draw in space of four days

Rich Cawley — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 17:40:42 GMT

Charlton Athletic 0 Portsmouth 0. Two clean sheets in a row for the Addicks, who have tightened up defensively since that 4-0 mauling at Stoke City last weekend.

If Millenic Alli had converted a huge first-half chance from close range then it could have been maximum points for the south Londoners, who are still sixth in the Championship table after seven…

Rich Cawley — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 14:53:45 GMT

What is it about trips to Stoke City?

Charlton have a really poor record in away league matches at the bet365 Stadium and the latest meeting was all over by the 25-minute mark, when the hosts had moved into a 3-0 lead.

Danny McNamara was dismissed in the second half for two bookable offences - the second caution was for making a card gesture to referee Ro…

The new WSL season kicks off this weekend with Charlton Athletic starting with a home game against Liverpool at The Valley.

No EFL Cup upset for Charlton as they lose heavily at Tottenham - and pick up injuries to two defenders

Rich Cawley — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 22:00:57 GMT

Charlton Athletic were knocked out of the EFL Cup tonight after a 5-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

Manager Nathan Jones described it as a “disastrous” evening but not due to the fact they lost in north London - his comments focused on the early injuries to Billy Koumetio and Collins Sichenje.

The Welshman said he felt neither would be short-term absences.

Rich Cawley — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 17:41:43 GMT

Charlton Athletic’s final friendly before their 2026-27 season starts at Cheltenham (in the EFL Cup) next weekend did not go to plan.
