London Stadium lapse for the Hammers : Picture by David Rake West Ham's second home defeat in a row has taken the wind out of their promotion sails - casting doubts on whether Nuno Espirito Santo is the right man to guide them back to the Prem. They followed up last week's 3-2 loss to Southampton with another three goal concession - West Brom winning 3-1 at the London Stadium. The Irons have dropped to eighth in the table. Jarrod Bowen cancelled out a goal from Felix Horn My

Matchday at Floyd Road Championship Charlton Athletic (1) 1 Kelman 10 Norwich City (1) 3 Maghoma 35, Kvistgaarden 50, Mesik og 76 The Addicks extended their very troubling winless run to nine games - piling more pressure on Nathan Jones as a bright start to the campaign disappears further in the rear view mirror. The lunchtime game started well enough for the Addicks as they took a deserved early lead, but just as in their last home game against Bristol City, the promising, i

And 'Come On' they certainly did A few days on from their London Stadium draw, both QPR and West Ham cut loose in style to underline their respective promotion credentials on Wednesday night. QPR emphatically saw off Derby County at Loftus Road (4-1) to move up to fifth place in the table while the Hammers hit six for the second time this season - taking advantage of Lincoln City having two players sent off by the 23rd minute to run out 6-0 winners at Sincil Bank. The Hoops r

Jones left feeling 'disappointed ' Nathan Jones did not hold back in his disappointment with his experienced midfielder Conor Coventry for the penalty he gave away in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bristol City. The spot kick that resulted from his foul on Dom Ballard allowed City back into a game the Addicks had begun so well and cost them vital momentum, having taken a deserved early lead. "I'm a bit disappointed really, because you know we've worked on a load in the last two wee

Into the Valley Championship Charlton Athletic (1) 1 Grant 8 Bristol City (1) 1 Twine pen 27 Charlton maintained their run of frustrating home draws as they failed to build on an early lead at the Valley in a share of the spoils against fellow Robins from the West Country. They had two good chances to win it late on but have now gone six without a win. The Addicks started well enough and needed very little time to get their noses in front. Karlan Grant whipped a ball wide lef

Picture : Wikimedia Commons / Steve Daniels Arsenal made it four wins out of four in the Premier League thanks to a David Raya penalty save and a wonderful first goal from Bruno Guimaraes at Sunderland. Bukayo Saka's injury-time penalty secured a 2-0 win at the Stadium of Light, where the Gunners dropped two points last season in a 2-2 draw. Mikel Arteta should have been beaming after a victory which comes at the end of a week where Chelsea were overcome at the Emirates and N

The Hammers were on song ; Picture @CapitalFootballUK Having swept to the top of the table with three wins out of three, Nathan Jones' Charlton Athletic travelled to Stoke City full of optimism, but a chastening first 45 minutes saw them well and truly humbled. Two goals from Justin Devenny, a deadline signing from Crystal Palace, one from Ethan Galbraith and another from George Hirst gave the Potters a 4-0 half-time lead. The Addicks did well to avoid further embarrassment a

Table Toppers It may not have been that spectacular, but Charlton Athletic fans are not complaining. Karlan Grant's 56th minute strike was enough to beat Preston 1-0 at the Valley on Sunday to make it an unexpectedly perfect start to this new Championship season for Nathan Jones' men. That made it three wins out of three for the Addicks, who are the only team with a 100 per cent record in the division. It once again owed much to a solid defence, with keeper Arthur Okonkwo hav

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 5 CHARLTON ATHLETIC 1 Two players at different stages of their careers helped Tottenham ease past Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup. Spurs eventually brushed the Addicks aside with a 5-1 victory and a performance which was a slow burn into a second half of some prime quality in north London. The sort which illustrates the gap between the Premier League and the Championship itself. A home debut goal from substitute Savio lit up the Tottenham Hotspur Stadiu

That was the season that was : Picture by @YTJourno AFC Wimbledon 4 Not the greatest of seasons for the Dons, who fell too close to the trapdoor for comfort towards the business end of the season. Johnnie Jackson's men finished only two places above the dotted line after losing nine of their last 11 matches and they managed only two goals in their last eight games. Only Marcus Browne (with 12) managed to get into double figures for goals. And home form was a concern, with onl
