Charlton Athletic v Blackburn Rovers Match Thread

Fox is booked.

 

Penalty to Charlton!

Ball out to Sordell from Cousins who is fouled.

 

Robinson saves it.

Low to his right, and it was quite comfortable in the end.

2 minutes' added time.

 

Hamer saves a Hanley header from a Blackburn corner.

 

Half time 0-1

 

Bad news is we are the only relegation candidates to be losing. Good news is Doncaster are the only ones winning. If it ends that way it may well be good enough, but too close for comfort.

My memory is terrible, but didn't Jackson miss a penalty at home to Blackburn last season? If so, might explain why he didn't take this one.

Anyone know how the u18s got on this morning?

 

You're right, he did. From the scramble afterwards we got our equaliser though, I seem to remember.

The U18s drew 2-2 but lost 5-4 on penalties.

 

We're under way again. No changes.

 

Cairney hits a fairly tame shot which Hamer deals with comfortably.

 

Blackburn score.

From a free-kick into the box Gestede and Keane are there to head it in. One of them does so, anyway.

SORDELL SCORES!!!

Turned his man and ran to the edge of the box and coolly bends it round Robinson.
