Nathan Jones praised his side’s mentality after the Addicks scored another late winner to beat Peterborough United 2-1 at The Valley.
Macaulay Gillesphey netted in the 89th minute to help Charlton to a sixth win in seven home games.
Speaking about his side’s ability to win late Jones said: “It's a mentality to keep going. I want us to instil that and to get late goals shows that we have that mentality and that we have the fitness levels. Then there is also there's other things – like quality and also the game changers in the squad that can come on and do that [impact the game].
“I'm delighted with the win. We were pretty dominant for long periods of the game.
“I thought after about the first three or four minutes, we settled down and we were dominant. Then we had a lot of chances, their keeper pulled off some great saves. We missed chances and we needed to score them really when we were on top, but we didn't and we came in 0-0 at half-time.
“We got the first goal and then we didn't really kick on and that's probably the only disappointment.”
Jones praised referee Lee Swabey, who he felt got the big decisions correct – including a penalty for each side and the sending off of Peterborough’s Emmanuel Fernandez.
He added that he felt his side deserved the three points which took the Addicks to fifth place in Sky Bet League One.
“It's pleasant to score late,” he said. “We kept going. It's not like we were lucky because you've had 19 shots, eight on target with three clear cut chances and it should have been in terms of the chances we created. At this stage of the season you'll take any three points you can. We deserved the three points, but we had to wait till very late and from a probably an unorthodox source to do that.”
