Charlton Athletic manager Phil Parkinson accepted that the fans were right to boo his side after their 2-2 draw with Cardiff City.

It was the second time in four days that the Addicks had blown a two-goal lead late in the game and they have now won only seven of their 44 matches this season.

"I had an experienced team out there and yet we still looked naïve," said Parkinson. "We're a team scarred from the season and we went into panic mode on and off the ball.

"Cardiff are a good side but it was a tight game, we got the second goal and that should have been enough.

"The reaction from the supporters is understandable, I'd be feeling the same if I was sat there."
