Leaburn brace gives Charlton victory

There was not a great deal of action in the first half. Wycombe edged possession but Charlton defended their box well, as to be expected.  Charlton were disciplined defensively out of possession.   Lloyd Jones was controlling the back line.  Best chance of the game fell to Luke Berry.

Charlton were shooting towards the Covered End in the second half.   Leaburn got across his man and volleyed it home at the beginning of the second half (around 50 seconds) into the bottom corner of the net.  The cross from Edwards caused chaos in the Chairboys defence.

Leaburn held his run just enough for the lino to favour the striker and he made it 2-0 on 54 minutes with a great chip over the keeper from the edge of the penalty area.   He risked taking the hugs from supporters in the far corner.

The Chairboys made a double substitution.  

There was excellent defensive work from Coventry at the expense of a corner well won by Gillesphey.    Maynard-Brewer eventually gathered.

Alex Mitchell was seen holding his hip after a leg injury.  His attempt to carry on may have made it worse.   The physios were working on his knee.   He came back on, but the old school centre half did not look comfortable.

Wycombe were being denied time and space by Charlton.     The visitors made another two changes. Top scorer Kone came on from the bench.

Leaburn was booked for a foul on halfway, Harvey eventually got his way.   He had been trying to trick him into an illegal challenge.

A good pass from Berry finds Leaburn who beats the offside trap but shoots over.

T Campbell slipped through but shot over when there was space to the left of the keeper.

Leaburn was applauded off with a standing ovation after he had received treatment.  Ahadme came on.

Wycombe scored on 84 minutes, it was a good goal from Kone across Maynard-Brewer.

The keeper collected as Campbell threatened from a long ball.    He might have been able to head over the keeper.

Wycombe won a corner after a rather soft free kick.   The move ended In an Addicks free kick.

Seven minutes were added on.   Lloyd Jones was penalised for what looked a decent challenge so Wycombe have a free-kick 30 yards out and central.   Morley’s free kick went into the wall.

The whistle blew and the team second in the table were beaten.  Charlton moved to 7th for now.  Moaners asked for time to compose their complaints.

Official attendance 15,554, 1,457 Chairboys.

Nathan Jones suggests that Leaburn needs to 'knuckle down' and develop as a footballer: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/charlton-boss-jones-wants-trust-in-terms-of-miles-leaburn-development-after-brace-in-win-over-chairboys/
