Season summary

Another solid season resulted in a mid-table finish for Charlton. However, the end of the season proved to be the undoing of Alan Curbishley's men once more, and after the start of March they only managed one more victory, dropping to 12th place in the final table. Considering the relatively small budget Curbishley was operating on, even this was quite an achievement.

Midfielder Scott Parker was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award, but lost to Jermaine Jenas of Newcastle United.
