Mark Hudson believes rock-bottom Charlton are finally looking up after earning a precious point. [LNB]The Charlton skipper marshalled a defensive display which suggested their relegation is not a forgone conclusion - even though they are 10 points adrift from safety. [LNB]Hudson, 26, said: 'We are three games unbeaten and we have belief we can get out of this. There are two big home games coming up against Doncaster and Watford. We must win them. [LNB][LNB] Sweet strike: Nick Bailey's equaliser earned the visitors a precious point[LNB]'There have been a few changes here this season with a new manager and a few players coming in and out. But we now have the same team week in, week out and there's real belief. [LNB]'It's a massive club and we are fighting as hard as we can to turn it around. Nobody wants to go down. There's a long way to go and we are not giving up.' [LNB]Nathan Dyer's 42nd-minute strike was cancelled out by Nicky Bailey - 10 minutes after half-time - courtesy of a deflection off Alan Tate. [LNB] Stuck in: Leon Britton battles to win the ball off of Chris Dickson (R)[LNB]And Bailey was left cursing his luck after his free-kick rattled the crossbar late on to deny the visitors a first away win since September. [LNB]Swansea defender Ashley Williams admitted his side blew a golden chance to break into the top six. [LNB]He said: 'We don't look at draws at home against any side as a welcome point.'[LNB][LNB] [LNB]
