in General Charlton
Charlton travelled to Bolton looking to put their poor performance (and thumping!) at Rotherham to bed. Bolton have had their own problems and the first half proved a cagey affair. Despite some opportunities for each side in the first forty-five, all of the goals occurred in the second half.

Bolton came out in the second looking the better side and drew first blood on fifty-five minutes when Joel Randall burst into the box with plenty of space to put the ball past Ashley Maynard-Brewer. Bolton looked good for a victory but a change to a midfield diamond saw Charlton regroup.

The equaliser came through a Macaulay Gillesphey cross that found Lloyd Jones lunging into the box. His deft touch put the ball past the Bolton keeper and turned the tide in the visitors’ favour.

The winner came on eighty-six minutes when Charlton pressure produced a skied clearance that fell to substitute Karoy Anderson who nudged away his defender enough to take a touch and have a shot that was deflected over the Bolton keeper to complete the turn around.

Charlton return with three points and Bolton are left shaking their heads as their fortunes ebb away.

Bolton 1 Charlton 2

Over to you.

    We have not done the double over Bolton Wanderers for many a long year, maybe never.

    1999/00 season... Although we played them three times that year, and they still stopped us going to Wembley with that win in the FA Cup Quarter-Finals.

    Well, did not see that coming when we were 1-0 down. Chuks and Anderson 💪 happy with that.

    Never a dull day…really really happy with that

    That’s the kind of fight I expect from a Nathan Jones side. It might not have been pretty but we didn’t give up and showed heaps of character. Having Aneke on at the end made such a difference and him and Small know the dark arts. At this stage I don’t care how we win as long as we do

    What a turnaround. Although we battled hard it’s undeniable that we were outplayed for at least 60 minutes of that match. Great credit to Nathan Jones for the tactical and personnel changes that helped us turn it around. Yes, it was a fortunate deflection for our second goal but don't underestimate the skill with which Karoy Anderson turned to create the space for his shot.

    A hard won win and three invaluable points going into our next two, very winnable, fixtures.

    Us winning winnable wins ?

    Come on

    Subs made a massive difference.  We upped the pressure and looked like we really wanted it.  I think their shithousery and blatent cheating worked against them and wound us up!

    Is there anything sweeter than the undeserved victory against an irritating opponent?
    Jones will large it up now - it was utter bollox and without LJ we would have lost that.
    For sure the subs and Jones finish got us out the shit we desperately need more quality to get hold of matches.

    Can’t understand how the ref didn’t send off the player stamping on Small’s achilles.
    Well done Jones and the whole team. It took character and determination to win that.

    Maybe not deserved but very much needed, hopefully sets us back up for another little run of wins and maybe even loosens up a few purse strings.

    Better to play badly and win than to play well and lose so that was very much mission accomplished.

    N Jones has to get credit for using subs well and managing to genuinely turn things around mid-game, suspect he's going to have to put real thought into who gets the nod next time out but for good reasons for once.

    Got my prediction right at 1-2, although it was harder than I would have wanted, Nathan changed it around second half and it paid off, oh and Anderson's volley was heading towards the far post and in before the deflection.
    A good result in the end and one of the games in hand as well, so 4 points off 6th, with another game in hand, this is getting interesting...
