It was seven wins on the spin for Charlton as they beat Wigan 2-1 at The Valley this afternoon, although they lost their clean sheet record as the visitors scored in the 84th minute and set up a nerve wracking finish. Even so, it was a Lowe point for the new Lactics supremo.
Charlton's two goals were scored by Matty Godden in a dominant first half. For the opening goal Ramsay showed good strength on the byline to keep the ball, his cross sees a Wigan player's clearance hit a team-mate and Godden spins to finish from close range.
For the second Berry's free-kick was nodded across the face
of goal by Gillesphey and it was a simple close-range tap in for Godden.
Charlton almost added a third within seconds of the restart,
with only a double save from Tickle keeping out first Tyreece Campbell
and then Godden for what would have been his hat-trick.
And only a fine defensive header from Jason Kerr diverted Gillesphey's goalbound shot finding the top corner.
Despite a brilliant save from Will Mannion to deny Ronan Darcy, half time substitute Chris Sze tapped home from close range on the rebound to give the away side an unlikely lifeline.
Charlton remain 4th. The game between Wycombe and Wrexham was suspended at 0-0 after a medical emergency in the Wrexham end.
Fans chanted 'Championship, we're on our way'. Well, maybe.
