In the latest west brom vs charlton clash at The Hawthorns, the fixture finished 1-1 as George Campbell’s first-half header was cancelled out by Lyndon Dykes’ 70th-minute leveller, leaving West Bromwich Albion winless in 10 Championship matches and Charlton picking up a point on the road.
West Brom Vs Charlton: match summary and turning points
Albion led at the break after Alex Mowatt’s corner was nodded in by George Campbell in first-half stoppage time. That goal ended a run in which West Brom had failed to score in their previous four Championship outings. Charlton hit back on 70 minutes when Lyndon Dykes raced on to a Kayne Ramsay pass, beat the offside trap and finished between Max O'Leary’s legs; it was Dykes’ second goal for the club and earned Charlton a draw.
Albion’s dominant first half and missed chances
The hosts dominated the first half, enjoying more than 60% possession and registering six shots to Charlton’s one. Campbell had an awkward effort saved from close range and Charlie Taylor narrowly missed with a volley, while Harry Clarke forced O'Leary into a save from a speculative strike. After the break Albion created further openings: Josh Maja was sent through one-on-one by a delightful Mowatt through ball in the 52nd minute but slid wide, Nat Phillips and Charlie Taylor headed crosses over, and Isaac Price diverted a finish wide after a good run and pass from Jayson Molumby in the 69th minute before blazing over from inside the area.
Jones and Ramsay reactions and post-match reflections
Nathan Jones described the result as a good point while admitting Charlton’s overall performance needed to improve. He said his side were flat in the first half, mentioned a large travel issue before the game that coincided with the poor opening period, and outlined that energy, intensity and quality in the final third were lacking. Jones praised Dykes’ run, touch and finish and noted that a change of shape and personnel improved Charlton in the second half; he also called out defensive lapses from the home side at set pieces and said his team must be better across two midweek fixtures, possibly by freshening personnel.
West Bromwich Albion head coach Eric Ramsay reflected that it was a game his team should have won, pointing to good chances created in open play and a lot of territory around the opposition box. He stressed that beyond scoring from a set play the side needed greater decisiveness and that a lack of defensive cutting edge left them exposed; Ramsay added that the team felt positive at half-time about their direction and had expected to score again in the second half to put the game to bed.
Lineups, substitutions and injury details
The match at The Hawthorns featured the following Albion starting XI: O'Leary, Campbell (Imray 84), Phillips, Taylor, Styles, Diakite (Wallace 74), Mowatt, Molumby, Price (Jimoh-Aloba), Maja (Heggebø 65), Johnston. Listed substitutes included Wallis, Bielik, Gilchrist, Bostock and Dike. Charlton introduced Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba as a substitute late on and earlier Lyndon Dykes came off the bench to score. Charlton’s 2024/25 Player of the Year, Lloyd Jones, was substituted in the 35th minute with what looked like an ankle injury; Nathan Jones said the central defender would need to be assessed before an update on severity could be provided.
Table impact, streaks and next fixtures
The draw left West Brom one point above the relegation zone and extended their winless streak to 10 Championship matches; they are listed 21st in the table. Charlton’s 11th draw of the season left them 17th on 41 points from 34 games. For Charlton it was a second successive 1–1 away draw. West Brom’s next fixture is at fellow strugglers Oxford United on Saturday, while Charlton are next in action at The Valley on Saturday, February 28th against play-off prospects Wrexham in the Sky Bet Championship. Nathan Jones noted that two midweek matches in succession mean selection and freshness will be considered for upcoming games.
Late chances and what to watch next
After Dykes’ leveller both sides had late opportunities: Mowatt and substitute Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba went close for Albion but a winner did not arrive and the spoils were shared. The result, and the detailed complaints from both managers about performance and missed chances, make both clubs’ next fixtures essential: West Brom will seek goals and a first win in 11 attempts, while Charlton will aim to convert draws into wins at The Valley on February 28th. In the wider picture, Nathan Jones referenced other results from the night — noting what Southampton did in a 5-0 win over QPR — when judging the value of a point away from home.
