"Unbelievable scenes unfolded on Tuesday at The Valley as Charlton snatched victory deep into stoppage time, courtesy of the irrepressible Sonny Carey. The place erupted. The Covered End was in rapture. And what a story this man is writing. When Carey arrived as Charlton's first signing of the summer, few expected much. Many supporters myself included were underwhelmed. Even Blackpool fans seemed relieved to wave him off."
"Yet Carey wasn't the only revelation. Ibrahim Fullah's introduction transformed the contest. His youthful energy, swagger and quality changed everything in an instant. A game that had been limp and goalless suddenly burst to life under the new floodlights; though truthfully, it was Fullah who turned up the wattage tenfold. Albion will rue their missed chances, particularly Samuel Illing-Junior's strike off the stanchion and by Isaac Price twice, when through on goal."
"A weak penalty miss by Charlton captain Greg Docherty gave Albion a leg-up. But credit must go to Charlton's defence: it was resolute, defiant and now boasts a sixth clean sheet in 14 matches. It's a testament to the unity in this squad, forged through disruption and challenge. These three points should put a spring in our step as we make the long journey up to North Wales on Saturday afternoon to take on Wrexham,"
Sonny Carey scored a stoppage-time winner at The Valley to secure Charlton a dramatic victory, his fifth goal of the campaign. Ibrahim Fullah's introduction injected youthful energy and quality, transforming a previously limp, goalless contest. Albion squandered several clear chances, including Samuel Illing-Junior's strike off the stanchion and two misses by Isaac Price. Charlton captain Greg Docherty missed a weak penalty, but Charlton's defence remained resolute, recording a sixth clean sheet in 14 matches. The win moved Charlton into the play-off positions and extended an unbeaten run to five games. Charlton now travel to Wrexham aiming to continue the momentum.
