SNAPSHOT OF THE GAMEThis was a completely skilled efficiency by Charlton as they dealt confidently with opposition on the improper finish of the desk.

STAR MANTyreece Campbell. So many sturdy performances on the day however the attacker is creating properly below the tutelage of Jones – and Saturday afternoon confirmed why Charlton rejected curiosity larger up the soccer ladder within the January switch window.
BEST MOMENTCampbell’s objective. Firstly as a result of it killed off the competition and in addition the truth that it was one of the best of the finishes on the afternoon. In the event you’re an Exeter fan, or Caldwell, you most likely really feel a defender ought to get out faster to close down the chance.
MOAN OF THE MATCHThe goalkeeper ‘accidents’ which permit managers to name all their gamers over for a tactical reset. Each membership does it. Whitworth went down within the first half and Jones was not refined – shouting “go down” to Will Mannion when Exeter had a bit of spell of possession. Not fairly positive the way you stamp it out, wanting saying that each units of gamers must go to the far facet of the pitch if a stopper wants therapy.
A TALKING POINT DOWN THE PUBSaturday’s journey to Leyton Orient. It seems tasty. The O’s misplaced at Bolton Wanderers yesterday and Charlton are solely outdoors of the play-offs on objective distinction. So subsequent weekend’s derby has loads on it. You most likely solely go to Studying in ninth spot for the golf equipment that also have an opportunity of a top-six end.
WHAT THE BOSS HAD TO SAY“It was actually, actually skilled. As soon as we acquired the second we actually kicked on. That was a correct Charlton efficiency. After we’re one of the best model of ourselves we’re workforce.”
