An important duel in the bottom section of the Championship, with both Charlton Athletic and Barnsley experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 21st and the visitors in 23rd place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
