Charlton are 8th in the Championship after a creditable 0-0 away draw at Bristol City (Millwall are 15th). The home side dominated the first half with the Addicks relying on counter attack. Charlton came more into their own in the second half with Apter having the best chance of scoring.
It’s nearly nine
hours since the Addicks last conceded in a league match (including play-offs).
In the first half Charlton were defensively very organised
and work so hard to press. City had a few moments when they've got into good
positions but Thomas Kaminski was protected very well. Keeper only had the one
save to make from Hirakwa's shot from the edge of the box.
City were doubling up on Rob Apter every time he got on the
ball. With good reason.
Apter forced Bristol City keeper Vitek into a save low down to his left after being fed on the right of the box by Carey. Clearest chance either side produced, although Bristol City's Anis Mehmeti hit the woodwork in the second half with a well-struck effort.
Kayne Ramsay was excellent . He made a fine block to cut out Hirakwa's
cross and also produced a couple of crunching and perfectly-timed sliding
challenges.
Nathan Jones was going ballistic towards the end of the match about some of the officials' decisions.
As the game went into seven minutes of added time, Charlton summer signing Harvey Knibbs had a close-range chance smothered by Vítek.
