Charlton 1 Saints 1
By: Mike | April 14th, 2008
Saints inched a further point towards safety in an open game against play-off contenders Charlton. Both sides went looking for the win initially and Saints got a bizarre lead when Charlton’s young replacement keeper Randolph dropped a soft Stern John effort on to the back of defender McCarthy’s head and the ball bounced back into the net. From that point onward Saints looked to preserve the lead rather than extend it and Charlton deserved their equaliser through Andy Gray after a free kick from a Jermaine Wright handball.
Like last week against Bristol City, both sides had a number of penalty appeals rejected, this time Saints were probably happier for the referee to turn down all of them. Richard Wright made a superb save from Ambrose shortly after the Charlton goal to earn Saints the point. Leicester’s last minute equaliser against relegated Colchester was a shame but it was still a bad result for them which keeps the foxes 2 points back. Hopefully Plymouth can do us a favour by beating Wednesday and we’ll start against Burnley knowing that 2 wins from 3 games would definitely keep us up.
