AIN WE GOOD, CLAIMS GARETH
by Sido Coelho Jombati and two quick second-half strikes from Lyle Taylor and Naby Sarr gave Lee Bowyer’s men the points, despite a late consolation header from Paris Cowan-Hall.
Ainsworth said: “We have real positives to take, but it almost makes my mood worse because the result says they were the better side.
“We had moments at 1-0 where we could have increased our lead, but I don’t think the turning point was the equaliser, it was for Taylor’s goal.
“After that, the body language from our side changed.
“However, I think Charlton fans would have certainly been impressed with us as I’m sure they would have thought that it was going to be an easier game than it was. We competed handsomely with Charlton. Possession 55% 45% Shots On Target 5 3 Shots Off Target 7 2 Blocked Shots 0 2 Corners 5 3 Fouls Conceded 14 14 Offsides 2 1 Yellow Cards 3 2 Red Cards 0 0 I’m not disappointed at all; it just hurts as we were so in control at times.” Addicks boss Lee Bowyer (left) also held praise for their opponents. “Wycombe showed that they are a decent side who are difficult to play against,” he said. Bowyer has also called for striker Taylor to get even better. The newly appoointed permanent manager said: “Lyle Taylor had a bad start to the game, but in the second half he was the player we signed – I expect to see a lot more of that now.
“He lost the ball six times out of seven in the first half and it wasn’t just him.
“Karlan Grant and Nicky Ajose did likewise. I told them at half-time that it wasn’t good enough.
“I’m just delighted Lyle has got another goal as that’s four in seven matches now.”
