Charlton Athletic dealt a late setback to Portsmouth over the weekend, preventing them from extending their unbeaten run in League One. While the 93rd-minute equalizer by Conor McGrandles prompted celebrations for Charlton, the midfielder revealed that relief overshadowed joy for him. McGrandles, who made his first League One appearance for Charlton this season after struggling with injuries, acknowledged that the goal didn’t completely resolve concerns about his future at the club. He expressed his desire to stay at Charlton but emphasized the need to work hard due to stiff competition in midfield.
In another development, Barnsley midfielder Callum Styles has reportedly attracted interest from Championship clubs West Brom, Sheffield United, and Burnley. West Brom’s manager, Carlos Corberan, is reportedly interested in acquiring Styles in the January transfer window to bolster the squad for a potential playoff push. Styles, who spent last season at Millwall, has impressed with three goals and an assist for Barnsley this term.
Meanwhile, Carlisle United manager Paul Simpson expressed frustration with the free agent market as his team faces increasing injury concerns. Simpson criticized players who, in his view, are content to remain without a club, emphasizing the importance of a proactive and committed approach to playing football. Despite ongoing efforts to strengthen the squad, Simpson conveyed disappointment with the current response from potential free agents.
