Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Charlton Athletic FC and Blackpool FC get this one started.
- 5' Charlton Athletic FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Blackpool FC backline.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rarmani Edmonds-Green made 376 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 13' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Greg Docherty.
- 18' A quiet spell here at The Valley, Charlton. Blackpool FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 22' It’s a booking for Charlton Athletic FC player. Rarmani Edmonds-Green gets a card.
- 27' The energy levels are beginning to show. Nathan Jones might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 28' Gassan Ahadme adds to his 2 season tally! Charlton Athletic FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 32' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Albie Morgan makes no mistake. 1-1!
- 37' A change in the Charlton Athletic FC ranks — Thierry Small exits the field as Tyreece Campbell enters on 37.
- 42' Will Mannion has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 198 appearances.
- 47' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 52' Over 52 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 55' Matthew Pennington is replacing Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel for the Blackpool FC side.
- 60' The travelling Blackpool FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 65' Charlton Athletic FC have won 492 goals from 386 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 70' It is a substitution in Charlton Athletic FC team. Gassan Ahadme is replaced by Chuks Aneke on 70 minute.
- 75' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 76' Another substitution for Blackpool FC to replace Dominic Ballard by Jake Beesley on 76 minute.
- 81' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Greg Docherty suffering a number of foals already.
- 83' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jordan Rhodes on 83 minutes.
- 85' The Blackpool FC bench stirs into life. Robert Apter is withdrawn and Sonny Carey gets his opportunity.
- 90' It looks surprising Blackpool FC does not make any changes. Allan Campbell has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Blackpool FC to claim maximum points.
