Well that's your lot. You can read Steve Marshall's wonderfully-crafted report if you fancy it.

Ipswich never looked troubled by Charlton and move level with sixth-placed Birmingham before Saturday's 15:00 GMT kick-offs.

But this performance will worry Addicks fans. On this evidence, it could be a long, hard season for them in the Championship.

You can follow the rest of today's football via this link, but for me it's goodbye.

Ipswich striker and man of the match Daryl Murphy told Sky Sports.

"We think we're heading in the right direction. The last few results we've had have been quite good. We just need to keep winning games and hopefully continue the way we're playing."

Ipswich goalscorer Freddie Sears told Sky Sports:

"It's been a while since I scored. I'm buzzing to get the goal but the most important thing was three points and another good win.

"We sewed it up in the first half and although they put some pressure on us at the start of the second half, once we got the third it was game over."

That match will have given Charlton interim manager Karel Fraeye a headache. The Belgian had hoped the Addicks were back on track with two straight victories against promotion contenders, but today's defeat is a blow to that momentum.

That was a textbook away performance by Ipswich today: tight at the back and taking their chances when they got them.

Two goals from Daryl Murphy takes him to six from his last three matches, while Freddie Sears ended a run of 11 without scoring.

Reza Ghoochannejhad has a glorious chance to head one back for the hosts, but nods wide of the mark from Chris Solly's pin-point cross.

I'd love to be able to bring you some dramatic late action, but I can't - Johann Berg Gudmundsson's cross into the area easily dealt with by Ipswich defender Christophe Berra.

Mick McCarthy runs down the clock a little more, bringing off goalscorer Freddie Sears for Australian Tommy Oar for a cameo appearances at The Valley.

We also have four minutes of injury time to be played.

This game appears to be frittering to an end now. Ipswich have offered much. Charlton very little.

Ricardo Vaz Te has looked very dangerous since coming on for Charlton, but his powerful volley is once more kept out by the alert Dean Gerken - desperate to get a clean sheet.

Ipswich winger Ainsley Maitland-Niles has not been that involved today, but gets a warm round of applause from the travelling fans as he comes off for Giles Coke.

Conor Hourihane had the final say at Oakwell as his injury-time goal earned Barnsley a 1-1 draw with Sheffield United.

Chris Basham had given the Blades a half-time lead.

I say that, but Dean Gerken makes a marvelous save to deny Ricardo Vaz Te moments later when the Charlton forward heads powerfully towards goal and the Ipswich keeper palms it away with his left hand.

Finally Charlton get a set-piece into a dangerous area, but Dean Gerken is equal to Patrick Bauer's header in front of goal - the first time the Ipswich keeper has really been tested today.

Think Oakwell is quite excitable at the moment...

Brett Pitman is the latest Ipswich player to have a crack at goal - being given space almost the size of Kent outside the box and volleying straight at Stephen Henderson. It is all too easy for Ipswich to get chances in this match.

Great footwork from Ricardo Vaz Te sets up Ademola Lookman, but the Charlton youngster can't get the ball out of his feet and Ipswich clear the danger.

That sums up the Addicks' afternoon.

Not long left in South Yorkshire where Sheffield United still lead Barnsley 1-0.

It looks like it's not going to be Barnsley's day as Lewin Nyatanga has now headed against the bar.

Not really a surprise but Charlton bring off striker Simon Makienok - on a yellow card and anonymous for most of the match - for Reza Ghoochannejhad.
