Charlton Athletic midfielder Jodie Hutton identifies survival as primary season goal

Charlton Athletic midfielder Jodie Hutton confirmed that the club’s primary objective for the upcoming Barclays Women’s Super League campaign is avoiding relegation. After winning promotion through a penalty shootout victory over Leicester City in a play-off tie, the team prepares for its first season in the top tier. Hutton emphasized that the squad relies on a collective defensive identity and intends to maintain an underdog mentality throughout the year. The club finished as Barclays WSL2 leaders for much of last season before ultimately securing their promotion via the play-offs. Charlton Athletic begins their schedule this Sunday with a home match against Liverpool. The squad continues to focus on their defensive discipline in training to adapt to the higher competition levels of the top division.
