Another poor performance saw Charlton lose 3-2 at Bristol Rovers and drop to 13th in League One.
Gas skipper Scott Sinclair, 35, rolled back the years to put
the hosts in charge on the half-hour with a classy left-footed curler from the
edge of the box that gave Will Mannion no chance.
Midfielder Jamie Lindsay doubled the lead in the 57th minute
with his first goal in Rovers colours as his stylish right-footed 20-yard
effort flew past Mannion and into the top right-hand corner after being teed up
by Promise Omochere.
Centre-back Wilson strengthened the hosts’ grip 10 minutes
later when he nodded in from close range after striker Omochere flicked on
Clinton Mola’s cross.
Nathan Jones’ Addicks struggled to get going against a
hard-working Rovers side but pulled a goal back when Alex Mitchell headed in
Matt Godden’s goal-bound effort after 79 minutes.
Godden volleyed in to further reduce the arrears four
minutes into stoppage time and set up an angst-ridden finale, but Rovers held
firm to end a four-match losing streak and ease the pressure on boss Matt
Taylor.
Charlton's owners are unlikely to take another spin on the managerial merry go round with no queue of quality managers wanting the poisoned chalice.
