Charlton Athletic have scored one league goal but produced promising displays: a win over Watford, a 0-0 draw at Bristol City and a narrow 1-0 defeat to Leicester. The team is generating a high number of chances and defending effectively, though finishing requires improvement. Early-season form indicates the squad can compete in the Championship rather than face a relegation battle. A second-round EFL Cup tie at League Two Cambridge United is unpredictable given recent encounters, and a strong cup result would provide confidence and help affirm Charlton's status at this level.
They actually look a more potent attacking force this time around in terms of the amount of chances they're creating and that's with the step up as well. It just so happens that they haven't taken them yet,
They will need to sharpen up slightly in front of goal but the way they're creating chances and the way they're keeping teams at bay so far has been really positive.
For some reason, Charlton at Cambridge is always a difficult game. Even though there's two divisions between the two sides, they've been familiar foes over the last few years in League One,
It was only a few months ago that Charlton went there and won 1-0 and that was a horrible game of football but Charlton scraped past.
