Nathan Jones celebrated his one-year anniversary as Charlton Manager on Tuesday and felt the second half of today’s 2-0 win at home to Stevenage, was the best his side has played since he arrived.
Matty Godden and Luke Berry found the net in a comfortable win in which the visitors weren’t allowed a shot on target.
Jones said: “In the second half we were really, really good, as good as we've been under me, if not better. We created enough chances and with a little bit more composure, a little bit better decision making then it would have been a little bit more comfortable, but I'm really happy because it was a tough game today.
“I thought Godden was outstanding today. Luke Barry was outstanding. It's wrong of me to pick out anyone because I think it was a team performance today, but I thought we were brilliant.”
Stevenage had started well and Nathan Jones took advantage of an injury to Ashley Maynard-Brewer to settle his team.
“I thought we were outstanding,” he said. “I think we had one moment in the first half where we needed our keeper to pull off a save. They're a difficult side to play against. They're very central, they pack the centre and they go into the front quite a lot and then anything that bounces they attack quickly. We didn't handle that on one, maybe two occasions, but then after that I thought we were outstanding.
“We called them over and just settled them down. Once we settled down, I thought we were brilliant. Second half was the best we've been under me.”
