London: Alex Mitchell is feeling pretty optimistic about Charlton Athletic’s chances in the League One play-offs. He’s been through a similar situation before and knows how quickly things can change in football.
The 23-year-old defender, who joined from Millwall, has seen how a team can turn things around. Last season, while on loan at Lincoln City, they went from struggling to nearly making the play-offs. So, he’s got that experience to lean on.
Mitchell mentioned that Charlton has two games in hand compared to some teams above them, which gives him hope. He’s confident they can close the gap, especially since they’ve been on a decent run lately.
After a recent draw against Reading, they’re now looking ahead to the FA Cup match against Preston North End. Mitchell even shared that he would have loved to face Millwall, his old club, in the cup. But he’s happy with the Preston draw, seeing it as a good challenge.
He’s noticed that the team has been sticking together, creating a positive vibe at the training ground. Mitchell believes that they can change their fortunes and that the fans have been great, always showing up to support them.
With a young squad, he thinks they’re learning to handle both praise and criticism. It’s all about staying focused and finishing their chances. The season is still young, and he’s excited to see where it goes from here.
