Charlton boss Karl Robinson insists there is no negativity around the club following back-to-back defeats.

The Addicks were humbled by Wigan last Tuesday before suffering a shock reverse to then-winless Gillingham four days later.

Scunthorpe’s 1-0 victory over Doncaster on Sunday saw Robinson’s side drop out of the top six.

And the Liverpudlian has warned Charlton players and fans that the club will lose more games this season.

But when asked how important it was to keep the positivity around the club despite recent defeats, Robinson told News Shopper: “From the first of July to the 12th of September, two-and-a-half months, and it takes four days to ruin it? That doesn't seem to fit, does it?

“One of those games was against the biggest funded team [Wigan] in the league - we hold our hands up. And the other one [Gillingham], we should've won by a country mile. So it’s not for us to judge what people think.

“But if you want to be so blunt as to say we’ve lost two games then that’s got no relevance to me because we’re going to lose many more. It’s as simple as that.

“The big teams go through that and we’re in League One so the unpredictability of results is far greater. Fans just want to win. They don't care about me saying to you about shots on target or crosses - they don't care about that. It’s just ‘did you win or not?’

“It’s as black and white as football is. Fundamentally I can’t be that black and white - there are so many variables that we can control. But what we can’t control is human error and someone missing a chance through a human error, as well.”

Similarly to the Plymouth defeat last month, Charlton had numerous opportunities to put Gillingham away.

Robinson believes Charlton are in a better place than they were this time last year.

The Addicks endured a poor start to the League One season under Russell Slade, which led to Robinson replacing the former Leyton Orient chief in November.

He said: “People are going to be frustrated because we lost away to Gillingham.

“We’re in a good place, we’re working hard. It’s a much better place than this time last year so I think we need to just keep going and move forward.

“We’re a different and young team - we’re still learning. There were a lot of young players who took to the pitch against Gillingham. There’s no negativity around me.”
