Three points! Sometimes what you need is an ugly win. We weren’t that ugly tonight, but it wasn’t quite beautiful either. It wasn’t about performance tonight, it was all about the result. Wigan were there for the taking and we took ‘em.

First half we looked quite good and should have had a penalty when Chuks was given a Goldberg spear in the box. Still, having missed that, the officials were better than at the weekend.

Second half was a little nervy. We defended quite well at times and, even though they persisted, and we suffered minor lapses in concentration, we never allowed any clear chances.

We’ve given ourselves a chance to turn this around. 

Over to you.

    Not a huge amount of football but dug in to get the much needed 3 points.

    a win, a clean sheet, a result ... that's all that mattered tonight, not bothered how it was done

    ... and should have been two anyway as Chuks being pushed was a penalty

    Take the three points however you can get them when you're going through a run like this.

    What I saw in terms of effort levels was very encouraging - a complete 180 degree turn from Blackpool at the weekend.

    A win is a win.

    I don’t think it was an amazing performance but then after our run I don’t think it ever was going to be.

    This win gives us something to build on and getting a result on Saturday is going to be massive.

    I can't believe I'm so happy we've beaten Wigan. Love Charlton always will.

    Not sure we've turned a corner or anything, but very pleased we stopped the rot for tonight.

    Better than Saturday (not hard), 3 points and a clean sheet.

    Unconvincing, and a better team than Wigan would have scored a couple against us this eve, but it doesn't matter - a win's a win.

    Why would Aasgaard be happy with the result?

    Did Chuks say that win was for Bowyer?

    I hope any differences they've had has been put to bed and everyone can start being on the same page. I think LB's tactical frailties will find us out but its good to hear from Chuks.

    Very happy we have got the win, and the players showed that they want to battle. 

    And battle they did. 

    But for me that performance is indicative of us under Bowyer in recent times. One decent half, and another where we can't get a foot hold on the game at all and get the feeling that a more clinical team would have finished us off.

    Well at least LB can stop cacking his pants - Well at least until Saturday!

    Chuks: "the defender pushed me over, but I don't get those kinds of decision"

    Back to winning ways. It weren’t pretty but we won. Just when you want players to step up to the plate .. step forward Jason Pearce. Thought he had a good game tonight. BOWYER IN

    Doucher was right, the players hate Bowyer otherwise they would have won three nil.

    Call me negative or miserable I don't care, I see this as the sort of average 1 nil win over 23rd that will keep bowyer in a job, like Bristol rovers.  I just can't be positive about our situation because any decent team beats us, and beating very poor teams allows this too carry on.
