Weak defending allowed Ian Maatsen to score the only goal of the game after 12 minutes for the Addicks.
Andy Butler’s side were nowhere near good enough in the final third as they failed to score for the fifth time in six games.

2.30pm Now six without a win
Rovers’ disappointing run of form continues and now it is six without a victory.
The added zip was brought to build-up play this afternoon but the issues inside the final 20 yards were all too prevalent as they lacked real threat throughout - and the frustration at that is only growing.
Cameron John will be coming on for Joe Wright. Wright took a big knock to the head and jarred his neck and he’s struggling to continue.
Jason Lokilo will also be coming on.
