Charlton travelled up to Shropshire seeking their first away win against a solid and in-form Shrewsbury side that haven’t lost at home all season.
The opening minutes of the first half started with both sides quite tight and cagey. There were attempts for each side that could have separated the sides, but neither were able to capitalise. Rak-Saki had two gilt-edge chances that left him and his teammates shaking their heads. As the half wore on, Charlton grew into the game, finding their passing form and some confidence in their attacking intent. But the first half finished goalless.
The second half started much like the first. However, having weathered a period of Shrewsbury possession, the Addicks found their feet and began to impose themselves again. After a handful of decent opportunities, on 69 minutes, Rak-Saki’s persistence paid off when he found the back of the net on his third attempt to put the Addicks ahead. From then on, Charlton managed the game out, looking well organised and solid with and without the ball.
A solid performance resulting in a much needed away win and a clean sheet. Finally, we’ve strung a few wins together for that elusive run up the table. 3 wins in 3.
Over to you.

Step in the right direction.
All the players contributed well, but I am especially pleased for Tyreece Campbell, well done lad.
Glad Rak-Sakyi got the winner, but got he was shit and that will be reflected in the marks from me.
Big win, as apart from Ipswich the fixture list looks very kind to us between now and Boxing Day, so there is a great opportunity to really push for a Play-Off position as we head into the New Year. Of course it could all yet change (as we've shown ourselves the last few weeks), but thank fuck that first away win is done and dusted.
Very decent debut from Tyreece Campbell
Onto Tuesday night now COYR
aneke isolated when coming on, but to be expected. Defence looked strong which is a positive.
Sandgaard thread will be quiet this week!
Its his injury that has forced us to play catch up, as there were so many silly goals that Clayden was involved in during his absence - No fault of his, as he's not a Full-Back, but shouldnt have been put in that position in the first place.
Well done Garner. A new Dawn or another bright moment in another season of mediocrity?
We’ll see. Two homes games now. Perfect chance to press home advantage.
But since then we’re now five unbeaten, three clean sheets in four and were making the teams above us nervous. Everything is looking positive, and the coaching staff have to take massive credit.
Garner is a very good manager who won’t be at this level for more than a couple of seasons.
Hopefully a win on Tuesday and a decent home crowd against Ipswich the team deserve it at the moment
But his general game and approach play was decent.
I do think you are being a bit harsh on an inexperienced 19 year old though.
Their next four games are Plymouth, Portsmouth, Barnsley and Sheff Wed. Expect them to get 2-3 points max from that and tumble into the bottom half by mid November.
