Edwards reflects on Wrexham draw

'

Josh Edwards spoke to CharltonTV following a dramatic 2-2 encounter against Wrexham at The Valley.

Matty Godden showed ice-cold composure to fire the Addicks level in stoppage time, calmly converting from the penalty spot in front of the Covered End.

“It was a tough game,” said Edwards. “I think a draw was probably a fair result in the end. Both teams had spells in the game where they were on top. It was good to get the penalty in the end, because we kept going and a point was probably fair.

“They are a good side; we know they will be near the top end of the league come the end of the season. It was a good test today. The strikers put themselves about and are very experienced, tough to play against. 

“We can do better - as a defensive unit we conceded two goals that we aren’t pleased with, we need to do better. It was a tough game, but we managed to grind out a draw in the end.”

Over 24,500 supporters were in attendance in SE7 - the largest crowd at The Valley since Charlton's play-off semi-final clash against Doncaster Rovers five years ago. 

“The fans were great. I said when I first came, I was surprised with the stadium and it was nice to see it that full today. The roar of noise when we came out at the stand was incredible, I really enjoyed it all.

“It’ll hopefully give them something to come back for, quite an exciting game. We’d obviously like more control in the game. An exciting one for the fans and that sort of atmosphere really helps us.”
