Charlton moved into 6th place in League One after a 2-0 win over in form Stevenage at The Valley this afternoon. Bolton and Reading both drew in their games and in any case but had an inferior goal difference. Leyton Orient were entertaining Manchester City so do have a game in hand.
There was some sloppy passing by the Addicks in the early exchanges, Stevenage were the better side and Ashley Maynard-Brewer had to race out to foil Louis Appere, who attempted to go around him. Jamie Reid also drilled into the side-netting from a tight angle for Stevenage, who had won their past three games coming into the contest.,
However, a team talk around the 30 minute mark while Ashley Maynard-Brewer was down receiving treatment for an 'injury' arising from a need to slow the game down seemed to revitalise the team. Matty Godden then scored on 44 minute with an attack started by him with a deft flick to Campbell. He converted from Coventry's cross, squeezing it in at the near post.
Berry made it 2-0 early in the second half on 48 minutes. Campbell hit the bar and Berry scored from the rebound. Charlton dominated the rest of the game, but were unable to score again. Small had a shot blocked and Campbell sent a curler wide.
Charlton had 15 shots on goal of which three were on target, Stevenage managed just three shots, none on target.
