It looked liked being a valley of frustration at Charlton tonight until Gillesphey, a favourite target of moaners, scored the winning goal against Peterborough with a pinpoint header.
As is often the case, Charlton did not start particularly well with the visitors trying out a different formation.
A shot from outside the area by Luke Berry hit the post
after 32 minutes for Charlton, before Peterborough keeper Jed Steer had to save
from Matty Godden at point blank range a minute later.
The game kicked into life in an amazing eight-minute spell. After increased Charlton pressure, the visitors were undone by a penalty after 54 minutes. Sam Hughes handled in the box, with Godden converting from the spot. Steve Brown thought ir wasn't a penalty and was upbraided by his nemesis from Canada, Brown retorting that his critic had never played football.
It looked to become an awful evening for Peterborough when charm merchant Fernandez was dismissed after 58 minutes for lunging at Thierry Small.
However, they hit back three minutes later from a Malik Mothersille spot kick, after Ricky-Jade Jones was upended in the area. Darren Ferguson was indignant that Ramsay was not sent off, but the double jeopardy rule did not apply.
The Peterborough resolve was finally broken when Gillesphey headed home an 88th-minute corner delivered by Alex Gilbert.
Nathan Jones admitted that it was more hairy than he would liked it to have been, but praised the mentality of Charlton's players who didn't give up: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/nathan-jones-praises-charlton-athletic-mentality-as-they-strike-late-again-to-climb-to-5th-in-league-one/
