Alex Mitchell has joined Plymouth Argyle on a season-long loan.    Richard Cawley comments: ‘Always expected the centre-back, 23, to make a temporary move away from Charlton.’   Some fans have responded with sad emojis to the news.

Mitchell has always shown a strong desire to play first-team football, even going back to when he was on Millwall’s books.

Nathan Jones: “He’s at an age where he needs game time and given the form of others and our new signings the loan move to a good club like Plymouth was a good opportunity and we weren’t going to stand in his way."

Cawley adds: ‘Remains to be seen what happens with Zach Mitchell. It seems he has impressed Nathan Jones but he also has a strong desire for regular game time.’
