3 things we clearly learnt about Charlton Athletic after their 1-0 win v Doncaster

A 1-0 win over Doncaster Rovers away from home took them above Burton Albion.

A second half strike courtesy of Jayden Stockley proved to be enough to separate the sides come the final whistle.

Those chances did not lead directly to goals, which will be a cause of frustration for Jackson. 

The cross bar was rattled as Stockley contrived to miss what was effectively an open goal.

The chance came after Conor Washington missed a one on one chance against Doncaster’s Jonathan Mitchell.

Charlton even had a first half penalty saved, with the scores 0-0, as Washington’s low shot was tamely hit and easily saved by Mitchell.

Doncaster didn’t get a whiff of a chance all game, as Charlton defended resolutely for the entire 90 minutes.

Their sole shot on target came late in the game with a drilled effort from outside the box.

But it was a low quality
