Itchen To Go Up

A whole-hearted but ultimately unsuccessful performance by the Addicks.

Bailey was thrice thwarted by the inspired Kelvin Davis in the home goal and Forster was also denied when he fired in a fizzing shot on the turn.

A well struck shot just past the half-hour by Michail Antonio was enough to give Saints all three points.

The locals are buoyant about their chances of making the play-offs and a number of teams will now be looking nervously over their shoulders.

Charlton can take plenty of positives into Tuesday’s vital game with Colchester at The Valley.
