Part I of Charlton Athletic player ratings for the 2025-26 season! Goalkeepers, defenders and defensive midfielders go under the South London Sport microscope
Plus we have the average scores from subscribers who took part in our survey
The Charlton Athletic 2025-26 Championship season is a wrap.
In the words of Lloyd Grossman, we have deliberated, cogitated and digested.
Now come the scores on the board for Nathan Jones’ squad. Not just from myself and Louis Mendez, my podding brother by another mother, but also from you.
Plenty of you took the time to fill out the survey I linked to in the chat section.
Players needed to have featured in at least 10 matches in the campaign to be rated. Those sharp-eyed amongst you will have noticed I had Collins Sichenje in the original voting, despite not meeting that marker, so the Kenyan (who averaged 6.6 in your eyes) is not part of the piece below.
We kick things off by focusing on the goalkeepers, defenders and defensive midfield positions.
The attacking midfield positions and strikers will be in part II, which is set to be published relatively early next week.
THOMAS KAMINSKI
When you consider that only five goalkeepers in the Championship kept more clean sheets than the summer signing from Luton Town, it makes the scoring below feel harsh. Kaminski kept 11 clean sheets and three of the stoppers above him - Carl Rushworth (Coventry), Christian Walton (Ipswich) and Solomon Brynn (Boro) - have either clinched promotion to the Premier League or stand a chance of going up via the play-offs. But, being totally honest, it felt like so many of those shutouts were down to the organisation and defensive structure in front of the 33-year-old.
