A scrappy affair against the backdrop of a muted Valley atmosphere left a lot to be desired this afternoon. Charlton got off to a good start but it was Accrington Stanley that opened the scoring after we gifted them a fairly clear cut opportunity. Only a stunning forty-yard curling wonder goal from Steven Sessignon on roughly 37’ salvaged the poor first half performance.
The second half wasn’t much better. Charlton failed to find a way through an obstinate Accrington and the game became even more scrappy than the first half. Accrington had the better of the clear cut chances, but Ashley Maynard-Brewer proved up to the task. Both Sessignon and Dobson helped keep the scores level with a key block and a goal line clearance respectively.
It’s a point, but we really should be doing better. Once again, we’re just not very good.

Never an easy game against Accrington etc etc etc
Fucking dreadful at this point, hardly anyone really wants to be out there.
Going through the motions!!
Just can’t wait to this season is over, and pray for some sort of actual investment over the summer.
For me, there’s not one player in our team, AMB aside, that I think is good enough on their own to be in a promotion chasing side - and I even include Dobson in that.
We have players like Dobson, Fraser, CBT who if they have proper quality around them I think could do well - but on the whole if you look at the quality, and mobility of teams pushing the top of the table - we just don’t have that.
Glad I stayed at home and saved £50 in fuel + 8 hours of my time.
TS you have completely screwed the club....well done, you prize idiot!
The squad is absolutely dreadful and can't see us winning a single game in the rest of the season.
I'm silently giving thanks to whatever bastard gave me this cold which stopped me going today.But was mad enough to buy the stream and Christ, that really was National League standard from both sides. If anything, Accrington will feel they shaded it. Really can’t wait for this season to be over, for the ownership issue to be resolved and hope we have a chance of rebuilding in the summer. No way I’m renewing my ST unless there is a change of ownership and a clear demonstration of competence and ambition.
a freak of a goal (our only goal in 6) and a lame Kanu effort against accrington.
im not convinced by Holden. We are awful
to watch, sloppy in possession and create hardly anything.
save by our keeper and a goal line clearance earned us a point but let's celebrate him signing a contract.
Apart from our goal we posed no goal threat st all at least they had an option of lumping a throw into our box.
Best formation and cohesion on display was the pigeons .
Ref was awful too...
Thought that was Dobsons worst game in a charlton shirt..he was terrible.
Kanu and Campbell looked a handful.
We should have nicked a winner but we didn't against a very shit Stanley team.
We are clueless. Absolutely and utterly clueless.
To be outplayed by Accrington - and have no doubt about it we were for large portions of the game - is just appalling.
Only Maynard-Brewer and Sessegnon come out of that game with any credit .
This season is far from over. Don't believe we are safe for a moment . In fact, we are so crap I can't see how we can win another game this season.
Very few positives. AMB was solid in goal, Sess scored a worldie, Campbell stuck a couple of decent crosses in, but that's about it.
Otherwise defensively all at sea so often, an invisible midfield and strikers constantly caught offside. And we can't even blame Bonne for that.
Kanu looked very raw, and not ready for this level.
