Parky backs Addicks to bounce back

15 October 2009 17:10
The Addicks are without a win, or a goal, in their last three matches but remain in good shape in second spot following last Saturday's goalless draw with Oldham. Charlton's small squad were carrying a few knocks at the weekend, but Parkinson revealed they all have come through training and are ready to go again. "We were a bit flat in the first half against Oldham, but I knew before the game we were taking a few gambles with some players having missed training," said Parkinson. "We probably had one too many players out there who weren't up to speed. We still passed the ball well, but we didn't have that desire and intensity to get into the box. We upped the ante in the second half, though. "We've had a good week of training and everyone has come through it. We needed a week without a game because we've got a small squad."
