Ian Evatt was seething for a second successive weekend despite Bolton battling back twice to deny opposite number Nathan Jones his first win as Charlton boss in a 3-3 draw.
Evatt was sent off and then later charged with allegedly using foul and abusive language during his team’s draw at Northampton last Saturday.
And he was livid once more as referee Ross Joyce did not stop play for a head injury to Josh Dacres-Cogley in the build-up to Daniel Kanu putting Charlton 3-2 ahead after 61 minutes.
Substitute Jon Dadi Bodvarsson rescued a point for promotion-chasing Bolton 19 minutes from time.
Victor Adeboyejo had put the home side 1-0 up but the Addicks led 2-1 at the break through Thierry Small’s first goal for the club on debut and Lloyd Jones.
Paris Maghoma scored a spectacular equaliser six minutes after the interval only for Kanu to cap a fine display with a low shot that went in off a post.
“He (Dacres-Cogley) landed on his head,” claimed Evatt. “He is clearly holding his head. He is down on the floor.
“We know the impact of head injuries and how serious they can be. At that point no-one could have known how serious it could be.
“The referee told me he (Dacres-Cogley) had sat up. But I have watched the footage back after the game and he didn’t at any stage.
“A few ricochets later it is in the back of the net. It is baffling considering what happened with their goalkeeper at the end.”
With Bolton pressing for a winner referee Joyce halted play to allow treatment to Charlton keeper Harry Isted.
“It doesn’t matter whether it is a goalkeeper or not; it’s not a head injury,” argued Evatt, who also claimed he heard “bad language” directed at the officials.
“It just feels like the world is going against us with decisions, with suspension and with injuries. We have lost four key members to our team.”
Charlton chief Jones was full of praise for his team’s point ahead of games against Bolton’s promotion rivals Portsmouth and Derby.
But he claimed not to have seen anything untoward before Kanu scored.
“I don’t know what happened,” he said. “Well done, that’s one thing he (Mr Joyce) gave us today.
“I didn’t see it. I thought it was a good goal.
“To come here and to score three against one of the best and arguably the best footballing side in the division and to be able to do what we did showed we are progressing.
“It was a positive performance, it was an energetic performance and at no point did we look to contain.”
