Charlton lose again at the Valley as the away side, this time Bristol City, find a way to play through the midfield. Bristol City were bouyed by the appointment of legendary manager Roy Hodgson and it paid off in his first game in charge.
Twine scored for City early in the first half. Max Bird supplied the assist as Lloyd Jones tried to win back possession for a tackle.
The Add1cks equalised shortly after. Some clever interplay between Lyndon Dykes and Charlie Kelman, enabled Dykes to guide the ball across the goal and off the far post into the back of the net.
Early in the second half Eile recovered City's lead tapping in the goal after Mannion fumbled Twine's low free kick. Despite this, Mannion had saved many efforts on goal.
Then as is now customary in these games, Charlton had a spate of chances; Sonny Carey shot wide of goal, Vitek the City GK, made two good saves from Ibrahim Fullah and Matty Godden. Despite some more chances from TC, Dykes, Rankin-Costello and Godden dragging a shot wide, none of them were made to count.
The Add1cks travel to Watford on Easter Monday for another tricky fixture and will need a point or two to try and cement their stay in the Championship for next season.
Pick of the Players: Matty Godden - came close to showing what he is capable of.
Charlton goal: Dykes 30
Bristol City goals: Twine 11, Eile 55
