The 2021-22 campaign was a season of turbulent ambition for Charlton Athletic as The Addicks ultimately finished a disappointing 13th in League One, falling far short of the targeted play-off spot. Leading the line and providing a consistent focal point was the prolific striker Jayden Stockley, whose 13 crucial league goals, part of his 20-goal tally across all competitions, earned him the club's top-scorer award. The year was defined by mid-season managerial turmoil, with Nigel Adkins' sacking giving way to a hopeful run under club legend Johnnie Jackson, whose later dismissal marked the final, frustrating chapter of a season built on inconsistency and a renewed push for future stability.
