Cracking match. Shame we couldn't knick it. Back and forth at break-neck pace. CAFC showed great character to keep getting themselves back into the match after going behind twice. Special mention to Josh Davison for his first goal and overall work rate, and same to Tom "The Lock" Lockyer, who wrestled his way to equalising and gaining us a point.
This team still has fight in it despite all the bad luck on the pitch. Few more quality reinforcements, existing players coming back, and we'll turn the corner and head back up the league.
Over to you.

Now secure LB with a new contract; sign up a few new faces and up the league we go!
Rare times after the misery under the Belgium regime.
Proud to be a Charlton fan.
Pratley was knackered for the last 15 and it showed.
Two beautiful headed goals.
That'll do pet, that'll do.
Well played to everyone pulling on the red shirt.

Good to see the return of F.Caskey Williams and Hemed I'm sure that with a couple of signings we will be fine this season.
Concidering where they are in the league and considering how many players we are missing this league is nothing to worry about when our players return.
Ecstatic for Davison and his goal.
Wasn't there, but surprised to see West Brom with 6 yellows. Obviously weren’t happy with being held by 19th placed Charlton!
What was the 'racist" tannoy warning announcement for?
Couple of Quality moments - Their mob in the stand holding on to the ball twice and each time we scored. Bartley giving it to the covered end, 2 mins later the bloke who he was supposed to be marking scored. That’s karma for you.
Thought Davison and Pratley were the stand outs.
We just need to stop handing the oppo goals on a plate though. Defensively we are a soft touch.
One of the worst refereeing performances I’ve ever seen - totally out of control from the first whistle.
Delighted to be proved totally wrong by young Davison.
That WBA team had some flashy talent in it and they looked a lot fresher than we did. But still we matched them and frustrated them.
Special mention to Sarr for an absolute worldy tackle to save the game.
Oshilaja was a giant in the first half. Looks like his best position.
Davison reminded me of Shearer in the way he backed in, used his arms and shoulders to hold the defender off and turn and draw fouls. He did what Hemed failed to do when he came on.
Pratley holds our midfield together. He's still so fit despite his age. Still box-to-box and pulling tackles out of nowhere.
How does Bowyer pull these sides together out of scraps? Imagine how Slade or Robinson would be doing with this injury crisis.
It's a great feeling to have your Charlton back.
