ADDICKS manager Johnnie Jackson admitted his side got what they "deserved" during their defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.

The Owls were much the better side at The Valley as they restricted Charlton to only one shot on target during the whole match.

The defeat means that the Addicks have lost their last five games which has seen them drop down the League One table to 16th.

Over the last five games, no side in the league is on as poor a run as Jackson's team.

Jackson said: “I think we got what we deserved. 

“We wanted to force them to defend, especially in these conditions on this type of pitch, but we didn’t do it smartly enough. 

“We had a terrible start to the game. We could have cleared our lines on a number of occasions at the start of the game but we didn’t, which puts us under pressure and it leads to us conceding the goal. 

“With the run we are on there is a lack of confidence and going behind early obviously won’t help with that. 

“This is a great football club which is going places. It doesn’t feel like that right now, but I can promise it is. 

“All of the players are fighting for their places between now and the end of the season. It’s happening whether they like it or not.”
