Charlton Athletic manager Phil Parkinson is adamant that his side can still avoid relegation from the Championship, despite the Addicks being seven points adrift of safety.

A 2-0 home defeat at the hands of fellow Nottingham Forest left Charlton in dire straits, but Parkinson refuses to throw in the towel.

He told the News Shopper: "There are teams who have got out of worse situations than this.

"We're going to keep fighting right until the end and I have every belief the existing players have got results in them at this level.

"It is tough for everybody, but the bottom line is I've got to remain as positive as I can with the players and build their confidence as much as possible.

"But I will also be reminding them of what we need to do better and I'm going to keep doing that because I know when we get one win, we'll get several wins."
