Charlton Athletic’s unbeaten streak in League One ended dramatically against Rotherham United
The game started poorly for Charlton. They were two goals down within just 14 minutes. Andre Green, a former Charlton player, opened the scoring with a scrappy finish. Then, a mistake from Lloyd Jones allowed Alex MacDonald to score.
Miles Leaburn managed to pull one back just before halftime, giving fans a glimmer of hope. But Rotherham quickly responded, with Zak Jules scoring again. The hosts added a fourth goal shortly after the break, leaving Charlton in a tough spot. Matty Godden scored a late consolation, but it was too little, too late.
Nathan Jones made some changes to the lineup, hoping to shake things up after a cup loss. But the chaotic start forced a shift to a midfield diamond. Unfortunately, it didn’t help much as the score climbed to 4-1.
Fans were left disappointed, especially with the defense that had been solid in previous matches. The team needs to bounce back quickly, with a game against Bolton coming up. If they don’t, it could lead to a rough patch that undoes all their hard work.
The manager didn’t hold back in his post-match comments. He pointed out that the team didn’t do the basics right and were outplayed in every aspect. It’s clear they need to regroup and refocus for the next match.
