Former Charlton boss, Russell Slade, was appointed Coventry manager until the end of the season on Tuesday.
Also, Richie Barker joined Karl Robinson’s coaching team. The pair had previously worked together at MK Dons.
Both appointments must put Kevin Nugent’s future at The Valley in doubt, and possibly Simon Clark’s too.
The Addicks slumped to another defeat at the hands of Millwall, this time it was a 3-1 reverse.
Robinson played Johnnie Jackson alongside Andrew Crofts in central midfield, with Nicky Ajose and Adam Chicksen on the flanks.
Ademola Lookman played just behind Josh Magennis up front.
After a dull start, the game exploded into life either side of the break. A cross from the Shaun Cummings on the right was headed home from six yards out by Aiden O’Brien.
Two minutes later, another right-wing cross found Steve Morison, who drilled his shot past Dillon Phillips.
Four minutes after the break, Lookman carried the ball forward into the area and squared it for Ajose to beat Jordan Archer.
Charlton’s hopes briefly flickered, but the game was effectively ended as a contest on the hour mark when Morison fired across Phillips to notch his second of the night.
The Lions were the more inventive team and had more quality in midfield and up front than their opponents.
So the jinx is extended, the Addicks quest for that elusive victory over Millwall goes on.
