points were shared in a 0-0 draw<\/a>. On City’s last visit to The Valley, it was The Addicks who came out on top as a Macauley Bonne brace and a goal from Alfie Doughty secured a 3-2 win on Boxing Day in 2019.<\/p>\nHodgson will be eager to get his interim tenure off to a winning start and avoid stretching City’s winless run in all competitions to seven matches this afternoon.<\/p>\n
You can follow all the action, as it happens, here…<\/p>\n

Today16:53 BST<\/p>\n
90+1Five minutes added<\/p>\n
Plenty of time of a twist or two more here….<\/p>\n
Today16:52 BST<\/p>\n
90Armstrong should do better<\/p>\n
That is such a waste from the substitute who should have killed this off. Having picked up on a loose ball on the halfway line, he breaks towards the area and takes the ball to his left to shape for the finish.<\/p>\n
He takes too long, however, and is tackled. He had to get a shot away there, if not score.<\/p>\n
Today16:50 BST<\/p>\n
88What a miss!<\/p>\n
Charlton couldn’t have asked for a better chance! A deep cross lands at the feet of Campbell at the back post, who has enough time and space to first control and then sit himself for the volley.<\/p>\n
He catches this one and if anything, gets too much on it. It flies well, well wide of the post. Moments later, Dykes heads over from close range.<\/p>\n
Today16:48 BST<\/p>\n
86Another change for the Robins<\/p>\n
That is the end of Emil Riis’ afternoon as he makes way for Sinclair Armstrong with less than five minutes of regular time to play. It hasn’t been the Dane’s afternoon.<\/p>\n
Today16:45 BST<\/p>\n
83Change for Bristol City<\/p>\n
Hodgson makes his second change of the afternoon as Bird is replaced by George Earthy. The midfielder has been superb this afternoon on just his second league start this term.<\/p>\n
Today16:44 BST<\/p>\n
82WHAT A SAVE!<\/p>\n
Radek Vitek you beauty! Charlton’s first corner fizzes across the area and the Addicks do well with the follow up to ping a cross towards the back stick where it is headed down towards goal from close range.<\/p>\n
Vitek gets down so, so, so quickly to keep it out and push away from danger.<\/p>\n
Today16:43 BST<\/p>\n
81Vital from Eile<\/p>\n
That is very good from the big Swede who steps out to meet a pass into the final third. He is brave as he leaves the line to win possession and clear up field.<\/p>\n
The home side have a corner now, however….<\/p>\n
Today16:41 BST<\/p>\n
79Not sticking for Riis<\/p>\n
That sums up the forward’s afternoon. He does very well to break onto a loose ball, but loses it as quickly as he gets it when his touch lets him down.<\/p>\n
Charlton make a double chnage with Coventry and Clarke off for Godden and Rankin-Costello.<\/p>\n
Today16:37 BST<\/p>\n
75Behind for a goal kick<\/p>\n
Charlton’s corner is chipped deep beyond the back post where it is nodded back towards goal. It smashes into an Addicks’ body before it crosses the line and is behind for a goal kick.<\/p>\n
Today16:36 BST<\/p>\n
74Charlton corner<\/p>\n
The Robins are very lucky to still be ahead here. First, Vitek misses a punch and no-one can turn into an empty net, then the stopper makes a good save to deny Fullah.<\/p>\n
Charlton do have a corner though.<\/p>\n
Today16:34 BST<\/p>\n
72Comes to nothing<\/p>\n
The Robins work the corner short but in the end, it comes to very little. In fact, Charlton look to break after a poor Mark Sykes header, but Pring covers well to win possession and clear for a throw-in.<\/p>\n
Today16:33 BST<\/p>\n
71City corner<\/p>\n
Twine’s free-kick looks to have got up and over the wall, but is – in the end – headed behind for a corner…<\/p>\n
Today16:32 BST<\/p>\n
70Foul on Bird<\/p>\n
The home crowd feel this one is soft but the referee doesn’t care. Bird has been fouled on the left corner of the penalty area, with a trailing arm catching him in the face.<\/p>\n
Clark goes into the book.<\/p>\n
Today16:31 BST<\/p>\n
68The Robins defending well here<\/p>\n
At risk of tempting fate, the Robins have defended well since the restart here to really limit what Charlton have created. The home side have got into some half decent positions, but have been unable to really test Radek Vitek.<\/p>\n
Today16:27 BST<\/p>\n
64Double change for Charlton<\/p>\n
Nathan Jones is mixing things up. Kelman and Chambers are replaced by Campbell and Fullah. The Charlton boss isn’t likely to be happy with what he’s seen since the restart.<\/p>\n
Today16:24 BST<\/p>\n
62Twine forces a save!<\/p>\n
The Robins are finding their rhythm now and very nearly have a third. Some really good work and then feet from Max Bird sees the midfielder hold the ball up and then break towards the Charlton area. He spreads play to his right where Twine is stationed and his right footed shot forces a good save.<\/p>\n
Today16:22 BST<\/p>\n
59Morsy forces a save<\/p>\n
This is one off the training ground. Twine chips the corner beyond the back post and closer to the corner of the area where Morsy has peeled off into some space. He chests the ball before striking towards the near post, where Mannion is able to gather.<\/p>\n
Today16:21 BST<\/p>\n
58City corner<\/p>\n
Morsy slips Riis down the right of the area and from the angle, he forces a corner with a powerful shot.<\/p>\n
Today16:17 BST<\/p>\n
55GOAL! Charlton 1-2 Bristol City [Eile]<\/p>\n
The Robins are ahead again and we think it will be Noah Eile’s goal. Twine’s free-kick is struck under the Charlton wall and Mannion is unable to gather as it bobbles around the area.<\/p>\n
Eile appears to be the man to prod it over the line, but Morsy has celebrated as well. I have to say, this is a foul, foul goal.<\/p>\n
Today16:16 BST<\/p>\n
55Into the wall<\/p>\n
But he will get another go. The number 10’s first effort is fired into the wall and moments later he is again fouled on the edge of the box. He’ll have another go…<\/p>\n
Today16:15 BST<\/p>\n
53Borges fires over!<\/p>\n
What a goal that would have been. Borges, who has been lively today, gets his head down from centre-back and drives towards the edge of the Charlton penalty area before playing a one-two with Max Bird.<\/p>\n
He sets himself and swivels before trying his luck with his left foot. It ends up over the bar.<\/p>\n
Moments later Twine is fouled on the edge of the area…<\/p>\n
Today16:09 BST<\/p>\n
47Comes to nothing<\/p>\n
Charlton deal with the initial danger of Twine’s corner which is nodded back to Sykes on the right wing by Randell. The Irishman aims to chip a ball down the right for Twine to chase, but it is watched behind for a goal kick.<\/p>\n
Today16:08 BST<\/p>\n
46City corner<\/p>\n
A mix-up by the Charlton backline gifts the Robins an early second half corner…<\/p>\n
Today16:07 BST<\/p>\n
46We’re back underway as Hodgson makes a change<\/p>\n
We did wonder if Ross McCrorie would be able to continue after that knock at the end of the opening period. It doesn’t look as though the Scotsman will play on, with Sam Morsy taking his place ahead of the restart.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the restart, we are back underway at The Valley. The Robins have 45 minutes to find a winner and end this six-match winless run in all competitions.<\/p>\n
Today15:51 BST<\/p>\n
Half-time: Charlton 1-1 Bristol City<\/p>\n
The two sides head into the break level. Ross McCrorie didn’t manage to make his way back onto the field, but did appear to be ready to return to the field, had that half gone on a little bit longer.<\/p>\n
The story of the contest so far is that Scott Twine’s opener has been cancelled out by a Lyndon Dykes strike. The Reds have played some very good stuff going forward, but have perhaps faded slightly as the half wore on.<\/p>\n
Today15:48 BST<\/p>\n
45+3Clarke fires over<\/p>\n
Charlton play on after that clearance from Pring, despite the fact that McCrorie is down with what appears to be a serious injury – if his reaction is to be believed.<\/p>\n
Clarke lines up an attempt from range and his right-footed shot narrowly ends up over the bar. That was a good attempt.<\/p>\n
Today15:47 BST<\/p>\n
45+8Pring hacks clear<\/p>\n
The Robins were living dangerously there. The corner is fizzed beyond the back post where it is nodded back across goal and towards the six-yard box.<\/p>\n
Pring does very well to volley clear with his left foot.<\/p>\n
Today15:46 BST<\/p>\n
45+2Charlton corner<\/p>\n
The ball is kicked against Eile and the hosts have a corner late in the first half…<\/p>\n
Today15:45 BST<\/p>\n
45+1Twine goes close<\/p>\n
That is a clever attempt from Scott Twine. City have a free-kick some 50 yards from goal on the right touchline and the attacking midfielder attempts to catch the keeper off guard as he goes from goal.<\/p>\n
Mannion is scrambling, but it ends up over the bar. Three minutes added.<\/p>\n
Today15:44 BST<\/p>\n
44Twine shoots<\/p>\n
No he won’t. Twine and Randell and interchange over the free-kick that is some 30-yards from goal to allow the number 10 to set himself and shoot with his right-foot from range.<\/p>\n
It is a dipping effort that has Mannion on the move, but ends up comfortably wide of the post.<\/p>\n
