Lukas Jutkiewicz had the first chance for the visitors, but saw his long-range effort comfortably saved by the keeper.

Astrit Ajdarevic then came close for the hosts when he latched on to Jordan Cousins's header and volleyed an effort wide.

Reza Ghoochanneijhad was next to threaten for Charlton when he was played through by Ajdarevic, but saw his strike kept out by Adam Bogdan.

Bolton soon had a good opportunity of their own through Neil Danns, who fired an effort just over the bar.

In the final minute of the half Johnnie Jackson tried his luck from long range, but fired his strike wide of the post.

After the break Jay Spearing attempted a strike from 30 yards out, but dragged his shot wide of the goal.

The visitors were even closer to taking the lead minutes later, when Matthew Mills saw his header cleared off the line by Diego Poyet.

Jutkiewicz then saw an effort turned behind by Ben Hamer, before Simon Church's low drive was saved by Bodgan.

Jonathan Obika had two headed changes for Charlton as the game entered the final 20 minutes, but on each occasion he missed the target.

Both teams pushed for a winner but struggled to create any real chances late on as they ended up settling for a point.
