PHIL Parkinson had bigger problems to ponder this evening than the end of Wanderers’ 100 per cent record at Charlton Athletic.

Ademola Lookman’s superb 89th minute strike snatched a fifth successive victory from the Whites’ grasp, after Gary Madine’s third goal of the season had put his side on course for victory.

A serious knee injury to Mark Davies marred the game just after half-time and now leaves Parkinson without another key member of his squad.

“It’s too soon to say but it doesn’t look good,” Parkinson said. “That’s a terrible blow for us and I have been really impressed with Mark since I have been here.

“When you look at it – we have Darren Pratley, Zach Clough and now Mark out injured, so to be where we are is some effort and great credit to the lads.

“Over the next couple of days I’m going to have to sit down with Ken (Anderson) and rectify a few problems because suddenly we’re looking very light on bodies.”

Wanderers had perhaps been fortunate to be on level terms at the break with Mark Howard making one excellent save from ex-Bury striker Nicky Ajose and Jason Pearce heading narrowly wide of the post.

David Wheater also saw a header diverted on to the crossbar for the Whites, who were continually frustrated by Hampshire ref Dean Whitestone’s treatment of front pair Jamie Proctor and Gary Madine.

Davies’s injury could have sent things south but Parkinson’s side were soon ahead when Liam Trotter pulled a great cross back for Madine to place home from 10 yards out.

Charlton became increasingly desperate to find an equaliser but with seven minutes of added time looming, a moment of magic from Lookman – who scored twice against the Whites in the Championship last season – saw him curl a shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box to salvage a point.

“At the end of the day it’s a good point,” Parkinson said. “This isn’t an easy place to come. They are a decent side with a lot of Championship-quality players in their team.

“We got the goal ahead and they had possession but they didn’t really seem too threatening. It was just a strike from distance that got them back into the game.

“I thought the ref gave a lot of decisions against us, certainly in that first half, and you could probably see it was frustrating me and my staff. But as I said to the lads, sometimes you get that on your travels. You have to deal with it.

“We started well in the second half and then had the blow of the Mark Davies injury but we still got the goal. We couldn’t quite get control of the game in the final period or get hold of the ball and we got punished.

“But sometimes you have to give the player who scored the goal credit. Yes, there were things we could do to prevent it, but it was a terrific strike.”
