Perhaps he's agreeing with the decision & blaming Chuks. Perhaps there have been words with Chuks about his behaviour before & this was the last straw. His answers are not clear cut in any way.

He said on CharltonTV that he was going to speak to the referee straight after his interview with Charlotte when asked about the decision - Cant see him wanting to go and speak to the referee if he wanted to say nothing more than: "Great call there mate"

Jones saying to refs they made the right call- I would love to see that

I thought he looked remarkably calm when talking on the pitch with the Referee @ FT
Chuks is just so bloody frustrating. You get games where you just feel he’s a liability waiting to happen, I’ve said before, he gets himself into ridiculous mindsets of either getting distraught with himself when something doesn’t come off, or he gets wrapped up in duals with individual players and forgets the game around him. The latter happened here.
Forget the actual clash that the ref supposedly acted on, look at the build up to it. It’s 2 mins to go in a game we’ve won comfortably. We’ve key ‘cup finals’ coming up, and he allows himself to forget his playing a game and gets himself wrapped up with another individual dual. He’s trying to wrestle and block a player who’s behind play and not even impacting on the play. Just so needless and unnecessary.
For me the 'needless' comment says it all. Frankly the evidence to overturn the red card is unlikely to be much better that the fragment the ref saw, as he seemed to wait a long time to give the red. But why on earth did Chucks feel the need to go full on wrestling mode at the end of a game we had won 4-0 when both sides were running down the clock? Whatever Leahy was doing or saying was unlikely to be much that couldn't be trumped with the words 'four nil boy'. I genuinely see Chucks as an asset at this stage of the season, but the grappling he does often seems to hand the ball needlessly to the opposition.
I can actually understand why the referee has given a red card now... It does look on glance as though Aneke either headbutts or swings his right arm at him (at 1:40), and Leahy going down would backup that initial reaction, whereas instead I think its more because Leahy runs into him - Equally around 1:33 there looks like a bit of a swing of a leg from Leahy as he goes to kick Chuks.
Definitely nothing more than a booking for both individuals in my opinion, and hope it gets rescinded.
But can "see" why the referee has come to his conclusion
Think the appeal might depend on what the ref writes in his report, if he says he thinks there's a swing of an arm or a headbutt, then there isn't a leg to stand on. If he's said he thinks Chuks has moved his shoulder into the head of Leahy then I can see why he would think that
I love players that play with a bit of an edge and like to start these battles with the opposition. However I will in this instance say it was completely needless.
Don't believe it was a red, wont get overturned.
Gutted for Chuks and us. Really wanted him to sign off his time at Charlton with a goal or 2 in the run in. And from our point of view with Miles and Kanu out we need our strikers available.
Sorry if mentioned but if we appeal he's available for the Wrexham game isn't he? But then if rejected he wouldn't be available until the final, assuming we're in the playoffs and get there. Or we don't appeal and he's available for the second leg.

All depends on how quickly the appeal is held, think they try to get it done before the next game
Charlton Athletic have had poor semi finals in Play offs: Palace, Shrewsbury and Swindon off the top of my head to go with Ipswich and Doncaster triumphs. Plus we got past Leeds at 3 attempts when they were in the old 2nd and we were the old 1st Division when I don't believe there was a semi final play off 🤔
Over the two legs i can't help fearing that if Matty Godden was suddenly sick or injured and couldn't play we might have to play Ahadme or our striker coach Hylton and that is a nightmare scenario. Would Nathan go with Dbick ? Any news on Kanu who is ,"excellent at closing down" quoted Sniffer dog before Daniel's two injuries.
50/50 if the red is resinded as even though Leary ran into Chuks after the holding by both men, it has taken away from a brilliant scoreline against a team that had been strong in League 1 for 43 matches and "Ruthless Addicks," +"Chairboys are unseated from 2nd spot" which should've been the story.

We played Ipswich in the 1987 play off semi finals.

Cheers for jogging my memory. 38 years ago and I would've gone as I did to every 'home' game at Selhurst park as I only lived 3 miles away at the time.
I can remember going home and away in 98 for Ipswich as didn't desperate Danny Mills get sent off in the Play off 1st leg 11 years after that first encounter because of his Norwich Connection and he lost his discipline ?
Maybe , just maybe, Chuks had been watching Wrestle mania this weekend.
Anyone watching Troy Deeney in Baller League this week- I think we have found Chuks' next move.
Notice it was against our own Holmes-Dennis
Never really had a good record vs Charlton (lost four, sent off once, scored twice). Ironically enough (if my history is correct) it was buying Deeney that allowed Birmingham to sell Chuks back to us for his second spell.

Yes, Chuks is suspended for 3 games- but he can still get the winner at Wembley
Looks like they are doing a little waltz 😁
