I turned down an offer to go to this game because of train disruption out of Euston and the fact that I have a mate's birthday drink-up this evening. It was slightly more disappointing then to find out there was no live commentary available. Arlow White was covering the game for Radio 5 Live and described the first half as "extremely low on quality." Matt Holland mustered Charlton's first effort after 23 minutes and Leicester didn't get theirs until 32 minutes.
It looked grim after 78 minutes when Clemence scored for Leicester but there was a twist in the tale when Paddy McCarthy netted the equaliser in the last minute hooking home a loose ball at the back post. McCarthy's recent redemption continues apace and, having been early critic, I am happy to acknowledge it. Leicester fans rated him and you don't get Player of the Season awards without showing prolonged form and ability. This important goal gets us to 40 points and will do McCarthy's confidence a power of good.
Elsewhere, it was a mixed day for Addick fortunes. West Brom thumped Scunthorpe and Watford conceded four at home to QPR as their home record begins to make ours look good. Bristol City won at Burnley and Stoke drew with Plymouth. We are in desperate need of two successive home wins and we should expect to get them against Colchester and Blackpool.
