Blackpool 1-1 Charlton Athletic

Last updated on .From the section League Onecomments43

Marvin Ekpiteta's own goal earned managerless Charlton Athletic a draw at play-off hopefuls Blackpool.

With Curtis Fleming in interim charge following Michael Appleton's sacking in midweek, the Addicks were seeking a first win since November and both sides traded early chances.

Hayden Coulson saw an effort blocked on the line before Dan Grimshaw saved brilliantly at the other end from Freddie Ladapo's header.

Ekpiteta headed inches wide and Jordan Rhodes could not quite squeeze the ball over the line after charging down Ashley Maynard-Brewer's clearance.

Kyle Joseph then saw an effort cleared superbly by visiting defender Lucas Ness, via his own post, and the woodwork came to Charlton's rescue again shortly after the restart when the Blackpool striker thumped a shot against the crossbar.

The Seasiders broke the deadlock when Karamoko Dembele met Albie Morgan's pass before drilling the ball low into the corner.

But Charlton levelled in the 69th minute when Alfie May's shot took a wicked deflection off Ekpiteta and beat the unlucky Grimshaw.

May came closest to a late winner, but both sides had to settle for a point.

    Blackpool very wasteful, especially first half but well done Charlton for grinding out a result and looked very threatening in the last 15 minutes

    Best striker OG again

    At last, a decent fighting performance from the Addicks .. a start but we need a lot more of that for the rest of the season

    Why the hell did we sell Albie Morgan - what a combination that could have been - Alfie May and Albie Morgan! How short-sighted! PJN supporting Charlton since Sam Bartram’s day - up the Addicks!

      You should have won, but as a Charlton fan a draw feels like a win today.

  • Comment posted by BeebName, at 18:29 27 Jan

    Ubelievable that we didn't score more than one! Should've been 3-0 up at HT! Funny old game and all that - but 2 points definitely dropped. UTMP!

    A draw that feels like a win!

    We’ve been so poor this season even the opposition are feeling sorry for us and are trying their best to give a us a point !

  • Comment posted by RMC 1964, at 18:00 27 Jan

    Gutted. Had Blackpool as my LMS pick.

  • Comment posted by BMrider, at 23:52 27 Jan

    Charlton! We've got to score goals, we can't rely on them putting it in their own net!
    Down to 18th in the League.....seems like Curtis Fleming has been handed a poisoned chalice.
    Come on CAFC !

    Addicks in a relegation battle for sure. Very lucky to get a point. Should have been well behind at half time, but it was pretty even after the own goal went in.

    There’s a depressing array of candidates being touted as next manager. A rogue’s gallery of failures……

  • Comment posted by addickted2charlton, at 18:25 27 Jan

    Iss a good draw for ourn and defence playin better under Pearcey. Ourn needed the win n Alfie came close n all but we ave some ard games comin up on ere.

  • Comment posted by lenwainwright, at 18:06 27 Jan

    A good point could have been 3 at the end not sure we deserved that all we need now is a manager but first we need to get rid of Andy Scott who appointed the last two managers how is he still at the club

      I understand that J Klopp resigned to make himself available to manage Charlton ?
