Charlton 1(10 shots) Burnley 3 (3 shots and a pen)

Walking away from a dismayed and depressed Valley I had to think long and hard as to how many saves Weaver has made over the last two home matches. 6 goals conceded and 2 saves although none of the goals could be blamed on Weaver. Don't get me wrong Burnley deserved their win, but we gifted two identical goals from free kicks. The first was sloppy, the second damn right criminal. A mountain to climb yet again and just before half time Reid scored from close range to give us suffering home fans some hope. In the second half it was all Charlton and a draw looked on the cards . Iwelumo missed a sitter with just the goalkeeper to beat from a header, which he almost made it look like a pass back. After much pressure from the home team Mills inexplicably handled in the box and that was game over. Depressed you bet and this league is so open , consistency is ingredient number one to get promotion, something Charlton don't have.
Come on you Reds Sob! Sob!.
