The Times said this morning that Charlton were a team coming into form at the right time and they demonstrated that with a 4-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers in beechy Bucks this afternoon. The clean sheet was offset by the dismissal of Chuks Aneke in time added on for violent conduct. Earlier Nathan Jones was booked for excessive celebration.
Charlton remain in 4th place. Second placed Wrexham won at Blackpool and Charlton face what Steve Brown called a 'massive game' there next week.
The Addicks bossed Wycombe from start to finish and took an
11th-minute lead through Lloyd Jones' well-taken half volley past goalkeeper Will
Norris.
It was 2-0 after 24 minutes thanks to a brilliant strike
from Luke Berry, who fired home from 15 yards.
Wycombe rarely offered anything in attack, indeed it was 86 minutes before Will Mannion had to deal with a shot on target. Richard Kone
was starved of service and around the hour mark the game was wrapped up.
Norris slipped when receiving a back pass from Xavier Simons
and Matt Godden tapped in Charlton's third in the 58th minute.
Four minutes later, moaners' target Karoy Anderson scored a header to send
the 1,849 travelling fans into ecstasy.
With players such as Godden taken off, Charlton stepped off the gas in the closing phase of the game.
Conor Coventry had an excellent game in midfield and Macualy Gillesphey was outstanding.
His ears ringing from an angry phone call from the steppes, Wycombe's shell shocked supremo Mike Dodds rued the loss of their defensive record and said that Charlton had forced them into errors and were really aggressive on second balls: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/wycombe-boss-looking-to-conduct-autopsy-after-4-0-loss-to-charlton-athletic/
