During the 1991–92 English football season, Charlton Athletic F.C. competed in the Football League Second Division.

Season summary

[edit]

In the 1991–92 season, Charlton started the campaign brilliantly and by 23 October, the Addicks were level on points with Middlesbrough at the top of the table after 7 wins in their last 9 league games which included 5 consecutive victories, but their form afterwards took a dip and with only 2 wins from their next 13 league matches, saw them slip to 10th place despite being only 5 points from the play-off positions. They also went on a 10-game unbeaten run towards the end of the season and by 25 April, Charlton sat in the final play-off position and it seemed the Addicks were going to finish in the play-offs but defeats in their final 2 league games against Tranmere and Bristol Rovers, saw eventual play-off winners Blackburn pip them to the final play-off place.
