Charlton are gradually becoming League One's score draw specialists after a dramatic late equaliser against Swindon ensured their third 1-1 in a row.

However, despite the joy of Nickey Bailey's late leveller, deep into injury time, it means the Addicks remain without a win in four games.

Swindon went into the game full of confidence having recently thumped Leeds 3-0 at the County Ground and enjoyed the majority of the possession.

A Kevin Amankwaah strike after 20 minutes was enough to see the home side in front at the break, although Jonjo Shelvey hit the bar for Charlton.

The Addicks battled through the second half and got their reward when Bailey fired home after a lay-off by Deon Burton.

Manager Phil Parkinson said: "It's a passionate game and we all work hard. It was a great feeling when that hit the back of the net.

"We didn't play as well as we can do on the ball today. It was more of a battling performance and there were lot of changes which disrupted us throughout the game. The goal was a good move and that one moment of quality got us a point."

Charlton: Elliot, Richardson, Basey (Burton 66), S Sodje, Dailly; Wagstaff (Semedo 46), Bailey, Racon (Solly 52), Shelvey, Reid; A Sodje.

Swindon: Lucas; Amankwaah, Jean-Francois, Cuthbert, Greer; McGovern, Douglas, Ferry, Ward; Paynter, Austin (Macklin 82).

Att: 9,552
