Charlton Captain: Fine Margins Define Championship Survival

Charlton captain Greg Docherty has spoken about the critical role of fine margins as the Addicks approach the final games of their Championship season. The team is currently six points clear of the bottom three, with their survival hopes firmly within their own control.

Docherty noted that upcoming home fixtures against promotion-chasing Ipswich and Hull City are vital. He recalled a significant away win against Ipswich at Portman Road earlier in the season as a confidence booster, emphasizing the need to replicate that decisive performance at The Valley.

Despite a recent run of six games without a win, Docherty believes the team has been competitive. He pointed to a lack of goals and occasional lapses in 90-minute performances as key reasons for dropped points, particularly at home.

The captain also reflected on his personal contribution, highlighting his defensive work rate while expressing a desire to add more offensively. He feels he is finishing the season strongly and is committed to helping the team secure more wins, learning from the tough experiences of the current Championship campaign.
