Charlton Athletic proved their own undoing as the Addicks made it 12 fixtures without a win in League One against a frustrating Derby County outfit at The Valley.
It was a defensive mishap that saw Nathaniel Mendez-Laing steal through and put the Rams into the lead after 13 minutes of football, which had seen some positive Charlton moments. The hosts struggled to find impetus before half-time and improved showing after the break didn't prove enough to find a way back into the game.
Incoming head coach Nathan Jones watched on from the stands as he grasps the size of his job with a relegation battle looming ever larger for Charlton. Here's how the players fared against Derby County.

The best in the Charlton midfield with some signs of class, putting in a big shift. Was disciplined in his defensive work as well as looking to make something happen. Photo: Getty Images
