Charlton took an important three points by winning 2-1 at Hull City tonight. Bristol City went down 3-0 at Barnsley, but Watford won 2-1 at home against Sheffield Wednesday. Palace went down 1-0 at Plymouth.
It was Luke Varney who put Charlton ahead after 41 minutes. But then Lloyd Sam was sent off for violent conduct after a tussle spotted by the lino between him and Hull charm merchant Ashbee. This means that he will miss three matches. Pards chose a 4-4-1 after the break while the Tigers went for 4-3-2.
Danny Mills hit the crossbar in the second half, but then Chris Iwelumo seemed to put the game beyond doubt on 89 minutes. However, a pass from ex Addick Bryan Hughes set up McPhee to get Hull back in the game on 90 minutes. There was some twelve minutes of time added on as Hull blasted hopefull balls into the box. Clearly the referee needed a whip round for a watch.
One positive was the performance of the defence with Weaver making good saves in each half. Both strikers scored after a slightly below par performance at Coventry. The result put the Addicks back in 2nd place, although the Baggies did not play tonight.
Some Addicks claim that Charlton are an average team. But if they can beat below average teams away, that's good enough.
