One of the hallmarks of Charlton's current success is that it is coming from all round the park with (almost) all players putting in a shift. In that sense it reminds me of the teams that Curbs put out.
Richard Cawley has reported Lloyd Jones' defensive stats in the first seven matches and where that ranks out of all Championship players:
- Third for aerial duels (47)
- Joint third for interceptions (12)
- Fifth for clearances (58)
- First for total fouls conceded (19) That last one is all about the aggression that Nathan Jones wants his players to show says Cawley. (Blackburn's manager was losing his rag in the Football League Paper yesterday saying that Jones had used the hand of God in defence and instead of awarding a penalty the admittedly hapless referee had merely winked at the Rovers captain).
