Bowyer remains bullish
Charlton 2 Plymouth 2
LEE BOWYER looked for the positives after Charlton were held at home to mid-table Plymouth.
The hosts trailed twice to Luke Jephcott strikes but levelled on each occasion, first through Chris Gunter and then sub Marcus Maddison. “We dominated large portions of the game,” said Bowyer. “We moved the ball well, we created chances, but we weren’t ruthless enough in front of goal. We could have had four or five.
“We gave away two soft goals. We have to be stronger and not give away these silly goals.
“We’re giving away too many soft goals and that’s something we need to work on as a group. What we do going forward, we have to be able to do the same defensively.”
Ryan Lowe was happy with the point against a team who last season were two divisions above his Argyle side.
“I’m pleased with the commitment, the attitude and desire,” he said.
“We had a little rocky spell where we weren’t winning and weren’t collecting points which is always tough, but they seem to have got their mojo and belief back now.
“You can be disappointed that you haven’t taken three points, but you can’t be too disappointed in coming to the Valley and taking a point because they’re a good team.
“Lee’s done a fantastic job. They’ve got some ex-Premier League players. But we can’t fear that, we have to go and test ourselves against these types of teams.
“Any points on the road are good points.
“We’ve always had confidence in the group and the players and it’s nice to see it coming to fruition. We feel we’ve had our bad luck and want to keep climbing the table.”
