Nathan Jones felt his side were good enough to take all three points in a 1-1 draw against Stockport County at The Valley.
Rarmani Edmonds-Green was on the scoresheet for the Addicks as he converted from close range, rounding off what Jones described as a great team performance in SE7.
“There were two aspects really," said Jones reflecting on the game. "The first was an extremely poor decision early on. The other was that we had done enough, created enough and had enough clear-cut chances to have won the game. Let’s look at what was sandwiched in between that, it was a very good performance from the team.
“My only criticism is that we didn’t dominate the first ball, we allowed them to do that. Apart from that, we moved the ball well and were fluent. We had enough possession, chances and shots to have won the game today, that is the only disappointment.
“In terms of the level of performance against a good side, they are well coached and have a good manager, a very difficult team to play against. I thought that was as dominant as we had been for a long while.”
The gaffer spoke on the absence of both Chuks Aneke and Lloyd Jones from the matchday squad.
“Chuks felt something, when he feels something, we have always got to be careful in terms of that,” said Jones. “Nothing serious, we just have to manage it. Lloyd ironically felt his calf, we scanned it and something else showed up. Baffling as he finished 90 minutes and trained the following Tuesday, a baffling injury.”
Jones also touched on the impact from the bench, admitting that their energy bolstered the Addicks’ hopes of a comeback, highlighting an exciting first-team debut for Kaheim Dixon.
He said: “The impact the subs made today was excellent. I think Luke Berry was excellent when he came on, Miles Leaburn was a joy to have back. It was good to see young Kaheim come on, give him long enough and something will happen, he is like a firework that boy.”
The Addicks return to The Valley on Saturday, October 26th when they host Wrexham with the highest attendance of the season to date already confirmed for the game. Don't miss out, click here to purchase your ticket.
