Charlton Athletic boss Dean Holden has explained why he opted not to make any substitutes during his side’s 1-1 draw against Wycombe Wanderers.

The 43-year-old, who was appointed as the Addicks’ manager in December, kept with the same 11 during the 97 minutes that were played, despite five of his players picking up yellow cards.

Charlton’s goal scorer, Miles Leaburn, was on the receiving end of a couple of tackles that required treatment, whilst a couple of the home players were booked in the latter stages of the fixture.

Holden told the London News Online: “I’m looking at the team and I’m thinking Miles (Leaburn) looks fine.

“Physically he looked fine and was always a threat to them.

“We could’ve changed up the midfield.

“Maybe at one point, Albie Morgan went to a yellow card when we were 1-0 up and we were looking to change that one – because with 10 or 15 minutes to go we’d had three or four yellow cards.

“Albie, in that midfield, we didn’t want to go down to 10 men through one mistimed tackle.”

The result leaves Charlton in midtable, whilst Wycombe are three points off the top six.
