Alan Pardew admitted he made a mistake by changing his Charlton team after they crashed out of the Carling Cup to Yeovil.

With one eye on Saturday's Championship fixture at home to Watford, Pardew made six changes to the side that beat Swansea - but the gamble failed to pay off. The League One side caused an 1-0 upset at The Valley thanks to Paul Warne's first-half volleyed goal - virtually their only shot of the match.

Pardew said: "I wish I hadn't made those changes. There are now a few question marks against a few players and only they can answer them.

"You give players the jersey in good faith and you expect a certain level of performance. For whatever reason, it didn't happen.

"One player - who I don't want to name - looked very nervous tonight and that is something we have to examine. We still have some very good young players here, but this was a reflection that maybe one or two of them are not quite ready yet."

Yeovil were indebted to debutant goalkeeper Josh Wagenaar, who thwarted their rivals on a number of occasions - particularly when denying Hameur Bouazza on eight minutes and Matt Holland just before half-time.

Yeovil manager Russell Slade said: "Josh made three world-class saves and we showed great resilience, particularly in the second half.

"In the first half, we could have been two or three goals down, but we weathered the storm and came into our own."
