Following a free kick, which was not well defended, Wimbledon got a free header, MacGillivray tried to claim it in the blustery wind and Wimbledon went ahead on three minutes through Chislett. MacGillivray claimed he was impeded, but the referee did not agree.
A Gilbey shot was deflected just over the bar. The corner was unproductive.
Blackett-Taylor limped off on 12 minutes to be replaced by DJ.
On 18 minutes a corner from Morgan was intercepted by Inniss at the near post and his flick went over the line, arguably with some help from a defender which would have made it an own goal.
DJ got booked for a challenge and it could have been a red.
After an excellent pass from DJ with the outside of his foot, Washington made it 2-1 on 31 minutes.
Wimbledon got the equaliser with a free header on the far post after poor marking at a set piece from a free kick. This was after a spell when Charlton had been controlling the game.
Matthews put a good ball in, but Washington was unable to control it.
Curbs said we had not got our front two into really good positions.
HT: 2-2
Charlton had three early corners in succession, but they were unproductive.
The swirling wind seemed to be stronger in the second half.
Wimbledon had a good spell and Inniss put in a block at the expense of a corner.
Gilbey was booked for obstructing a throw in.
An Aneke shot was blocked away for a Charlton corner in play following an earlier corner. Famewo met the corner from Morgan with his head to make it 3-2, he was too strong for his marker. Morgan had whipped in the corner with pace which took out the keeper.
A tiring Chuks Aneke went off and Mason Burstow came on. Curbs wondered earlier if he had arrived in a different car today.
An effort from Marsh skimmed off the post after the midfield went too deep.
Morgan came off as Scott Fraser made his Valley debut.
The game became very stretched.
A good build up led to a Charlton corner, but Gilbey's effort was cleared.
Clare had to concede a corner as substitute Cosgrave threatened. The header went wide.
Inniss was booked for the fourth Charlton yellow card of the game. Four minutes were added on. A shot from Nightingale was punched away by MacGillivray and Inniss put the ball away for a Wimbledon corner. The ball went over the bar for a Charlton goal kick.
Matthews drew a foul. Inniss won a free kick for a nudge.
Curbs said it was two free headers for their goals and you can't have that. 'We're definitely going to be tested in midweek. Inniss is my main man.'
Jacko said 'the old heart was going towards the end, it was not how I wanted it to be. I was gutted to lose Corey that early in the game, I was really excited about him going into this game. DJ did excellent when he came on, big credit to him. We felt that Conor's movement down the side would cause them a problem. Physically we competed great, both boxes was a good test. Winning not at your best is nice, we weren't at our best today. We managed it quite well towards the end. Let's go and back it up now.'
Match winner Akin Famewo said he was very proud. I am a happy player. He had been working in training on getting goals at set pieces. We stayed strong and took our chances. Everyone's bouncing.
Morts said it was the best he had seen DJ play, 'I saw someone who produced bits of quality when it mattered.'
Charlton are now 11th.
