Very gallant performance from a ridiculously inexperienced team, but sadly another defeat when they really deserved something from the game.

One nil away to 6th place, load of kids playing, 5 points from relegation and better goal difference.
I’ll settle for that ... fighting performance.

Huffed and puffed but wasn’t to be losing another game where we I thought we deserved something, sky also thought we deserved something.0

So unlucky 2nd half, our luck will change soon!4
-
Deserved a point.
Swansea top 6 my arse1 -
Battling performance - proud of the lads4
-
Proud to be a Charlton fan after that, though no doubt it will be completely ignored by sky, because Rooney took a free kick for Derby.21
-
Very proud of that performance. Let's all get behind Bowyer and the lads and hopefully a siege mentality will set it.
Get a good few signings in now and we'll have enough to push on away from the drop zone.8 -
Actually feel more gutted than when we got walked over the other night16
-
Hats off to the kids that played. I hope he does play them and rests people like pratley as they need it on Sunday5
-
We saw enough for the kids tonight to know that if we are in a relegation fight, that we have the depth of players to do a job. It’s just we had 5/6 of them on the pitch at the same time. Quality back from injury and players added, we will be fine I’m sure of it.14

gutted gutted for them young players tonight. Can’t fault effort in second half.
Mention to purlington who I think had a good game tonight13 -
We were the better side second half, very unlucky not to nick anything. I'm very proud of the team.2
-
Great performance considering the team we had out. Bodes very well for when we get some signings in and players back from injury.2
-
Really gave it their all, can't fault them really, just wasn't quite enough to nick a point.1
-
What a performance from the young lads in the second half. They should all hold their heads high. We move on to the next game together with our new owners!! Up the reds!2
-
With all the kids in the team, the new owner must be tempted to change the name from Addicks to Goats.2
-
Absolutely brilliant 2nd half, well played they deserved a point, well played the youngsters, make an old git, feel proud.

To have 5 players involved who started the season in non-league or in our academy, and to play like that, and easily hold our own against a well established Championship side, makes me incredibly proud to be a Charlton fan.

How good a manager is Lee Bowyer! Look at our squad compared to Swansea's, yet once again we are competing. Bowyer is getting every last inch of talent out of these boys at the moment, and silly mistakes aside, they are all a credit to themselves for the effort they are putting in29

Lack of anything up front when we got into their final third in the second half killed us.11

We did deserve something but where was it coming from? Chances were sparse and we didn't quite convert in the 2nd half with the chances we had.
A really good performance from the young lads and we're rid of the idiot who left us as sparse as we are. Now to build it up.4 -
Really deserved a point out of that. We bossed it 2nd half but just lacked that cutting edge.
Very encouraging display after the dross at Derby a few days ago.4 -
We lost
Roland has gone
The future is bright2 -
Deserved a point - proud of the lads. Purrington superb8

Superb. Completely different performance from that against Derby a few days ago when we were woeful. For me, Matthews, Purrington and Davisson put in their best performances of the season in the second half.

Considering the team, we put in a very assured performance. It's the equivalent of Liverpool putting their kids out against villa in the cup - they got trounced 5-0. They gave it their all, especially second half but it just didn't come off.
We created a decent atmosphere as well, Swansea sang in the 97th minute - if only we got points for that!
Bring on the return of our midfield and some new signings. Onwards and upwards3 -

Those kids deserved a point minimum.
Alas, I have a bit more confidence for the short term future.

Credible performance in the circumstances. Well done the youngsters! Now get that homework done before bedtime.1
-
so much better than against derby - we set up as a team which gave us half a chance regardless of age rather than just putting 8 senior defensive players out3
