Cracking match. Shame we couldn't knick it. Back and forth at break-neck pace. CAFC showed great character to keep getting themselves back into the match after going behind twice. Special mention to Josh Davison for his first goal and overall work rate, and same to Tom "The Lock" Lockyer, who wrestled his way to equalising and gaining us a point.
This team still has fight in it despite all the bad luck on the pitch. Few more quality reinforcements, existing players coming back, and we'll turn the corner and head back up the league.
Over to you.

Undefeated against the top 5.10

Keep the faith... Players are coming back and thats what we're capable of - No concerns about relegation!!

5 points clear of relegation, better goal difference by far ... onwards and upwards9

Darren Pratley played a blinder. Lost count of how many tackles he won.17

That performance today showed that we are well capable of beating the drop. Lockyer and Davison have both deserved goals as of late, so pleased for them both. 6 yellows for West Brom, we frustrated the hell out of them and when we do that, we pick up points. Very Bowyeresque game, over the moon with a point.25

Great to bring on 3 senior players as subs...made world of difference.28

Every time their crowd kept the ball we scored. Serves ‘em right.59

that would've been a good result if we had a full strength squad. for a bunch of kids to go out and get a result against the best team in the league is just superb55

What a performance.Cant argue with that.Davison oshi and pratley outstanding.I think if critical of anything, and it is hard, maybe bows should have left oshi on and only made one sub to bring williams on or dempsey.Based on that performance we only need 1 experienced Box to box centre mid!1

Great result - if unexpected.
Now secure LB with a new contract; sign up a few new faces and up the league we go!
Rare times after the misery under the Belgium regime.
Proud to be a Charlton fan.1 -
Really spirited performance.
Pratley was knackered for the last 15 and it showed.
Two beautiful headed goals.
That'll do pet, that'll do.1 -
That's his new nickname: The Instigator. To be sung to the tune of Prodigy 's "Firestarter".Karim_myBagheri said:12 -
Yet another 2-2, a good point....surely the second goal is credited to Lockyer and not their keeper, the ball went in off his (keeper's) back and he can't do much about that2

That’s why so many of us aren’t worried about relegation. Still lots of quality to come back into this team but already no one out battles us. Another incredible effort from a rag tag team of reserves and rookies. Point fully deserved. Delighted for Davison who gave their defence a torrid time, delighted Lockyer could redeem himself, and what a tackle near the end from Naby to make up for the unfortunate own goal. Ever single one of them contributed though, no one less than a 7 and a real team effort.MOTM was Darren “Fine Wine” Pratley though. Every blade of grass was touched by him today.25

Just wanted to say I wish I could have been at the Valley today.
Well played to everyone pulling on the red shirt.

Great 2nd half performance against a nasty cheating bunch of bully boys.
Good to see the return of F.Caskey Williams and Hemed I'm sure that with a couple of signings we will be fine this season.
Concidering where they are in the league and considering how many players we are missing this league is nothing to worry about when our players return.15 -
Excellent point. Well done boys.
Ecstatic for Davison and his goal.
Wasn't there, but surprised to see West Brom with 6 yellows. Obviously weren’t happy with being held by 19th placed Charlton!3 -
Got to be happy coming from behind twice against the draw specialists. Nobody in the league has drawn more than West Brom's 11. That said they've only lost 2 so are a tough team to beat. Credit to Bows game management and to those boys on the pitch. Other results today we're excellent for us. Even Barnsley winning keeps Hudds below is. Don't care how tight it is so long as we above at least 3or more. Hoping for new faces to add to Bows choices. Great atmosphere by sound of it.

Unexpected point - thoroughly deserved.
Couple of Quality moments - Their mob in the stand holding on to the ball twice and each time we scored. Bartley giving it to the covered end, 2 mins later the bloke who he was supposed to be marking scored. That’s karma for you.
Thought Davison and Pratley were the stand outs.
We just need to stop handing the oppo goals on a plate though. Defensively we are a soft touch.
One of the worst refereeing performances I’ve ever seen - totally out of control from the first whistle.11 -
I love Darren Pratley. Warrior4

Great game. Darren P man of the match.1

Great stuff! I really feared the worst for today but I failed to take into account the fight that LB has instilled in this team.
Delighted to be proved totally wrong by young Davison.1 -
Brilliant performance. Didn't stop running, hassling, snapping at heels and our heads never dropped even when things go against us.
That WBA team had some flashy talent in it and they looked a lot fresher than we did. But still we matched them and frustrated them.
Special mention to Sarr for an absolute worldy tackle to save the game.
Oshilaja was a giant in the first half. Looks like his best position.
Davison reminded me of Shearer in the way he backed in, used his arms and shoulders to hold the defender off and turn and draw fouls. He did what Hemed failed to do when he came on.
Pratley holds our midfield together. He's still so fit despite his age. Still box-to-box and pulling tackles out of nowhere.
How does Bowyer pull these sides together out of scraps? Imagine how Slade or Robinson would be doing with this injury crisis.
It's a great feeling to have your Charlton back.
