Charlton drew 1-1 with Wimbledon at the new Plough Lane tonight after indiscipline saw the Addicks reduced to 10 men.
A Stockley overhead kick was dealt with by the defender and the resultant corner was unproductive as the game started at a fast pace. The Charlton end was sold out.
The ball pinged around in the six yard box but the keeper saved from DJ. There was then another save from Washington.
Charlton were in the ascendancy, Stockley was winning the aerial battles, but Lavelle went down in a challenge.
Wimbledon then got into the game more and after some sloppy play in midfield DJ conceded an unnecessary free kick, but it ended in a Charlton free kick for handling.
Wimbledon advanced on their left and won a corner.
Charlton were less crisp and bright than they were in the first 20 minutes. Sean Clare shot over.
The game was getting a bit scrappy although it was being played at a fast pace. Charlton were not being very creative. As Wimbledon grew in confidence, we looked exposed on our right. Jacko was screaming instructions.
Charlton were caught in possession and conceded a corner. Steve Brown said we were not showing much fluidity and the passing was not great.
In time added on, a Washington half volley went over.
Curbs: 'flat and uninspiring'
Curbs said in the first ten minutes we created two or three good chances and didn't take them. After then it had been flat and uninspiring. Wimbledon looked the strongest going into the second half. The ball should not be knocked up to Stockley too early. The first goal would be vital. Wimbledon were a poor side and we hadn't taken advantage of it,
HT: Wombles 0, Addicks 0
The home side piled on the pressure and won a free kick, Lavelle having to come off and was replaced by Inniss who had to concede a corner.
Dobson took one for the team receiving a yellow card. Inniss got a red card for a reckless challenge. Blackett-Taylor was going to come on. Forster-Caskey came off and Famewo came on.
Charlton were on the back foot and under heavy pressure since the red card. DJ made way for Blackett-Taylor.
After great work by Matthews on the right, he in a good cross and Stockley scored with the header.
Wimbledon made a double substitution. Macca had to tip the ball over the bar after a home corner.
A free kick was awarded against Dobson in a central position. The shot came off the wall.
Blackett-Taylor needed treatment. Purrington got a yellow card. Jacko got a yellow card, Dobson dealt with the free kick well at the expense of a corner. A second corner followed and Wimbledon equalised on 87 minutes.
In eight minutes added on Famewo was brought down and the Wimbledon charm merchant got a yellow card. A Wimbledon corner was wasted.
Steve Brown said we were hanging on towards the end.
Curbs said he couldn't understand Inniss making that sort of challenge on the halfway line. We desperately needed Inniss to be available against Rotherham.
