City continue to look fragile but escaped with a draw from a scrappy game with scrappy goals.
A reasonable crowd of 19,500 on a cold but sunny afternoon at Highfield Road. Ref was Mark Halsey. It was Charlton who started the stronger and won three corners in the opening two minutes. City defended them well, although one was cleared to the edge of the area from where a Charlton player struck a fierce shot which Hedman saw late and did well to tip over. We settled and worked the ball down the right with several throw-ins.
