Charlton got their first point in nine away matches after drawing 0-0 with relegation rivals Barnsley on Saturday.

In a match that few would describe as a thriller, the Tykes were booed off the pitch by their fans after being frustrated by the Addicks.

Indeed it was Charlton who came closest in a tense first half when Mark Hudson's shot was saved at full-length by Barnsley goalkeeper Heinz Muller.

Playing with an unchanged side from the victory over Plymouth, Charlton continued to exert their pressure in the second period

Midway through the half, Therry Racon's shot was finger-tipped away by Muller.

Charlton goalkeeper Rob Elliot was also tested soon after, saving well from an Adam Hammill drive.

The result means bottom of the table Charlton remain eight points away from safety.
