Addicks boss Nathan Jones shared his pride of his players following Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Hull City – a result which sees his side round off a three-game week with seven points earned.

After falling behind to Joe Gelhardt’s goal early in the second half, Luke Berry’s injury-time leveller ensured that Charlton would finish off an excellent week of action in the Championship, with the point return, in particular, pleasing Jones.

“I’m super proud of the character and super proud of the game changers that came on that really wanted to get that game back, and we did, so I’m so, so happy in terms of that,”  he explained.

“Seven points in a Championship week, with two away games in there, is a wonderful haul.

“I’m proud because it was a big week. Today was tough – it was a big effort, we freshened it up, some players who haven’t had minutes played today and we showed that we have a really, really competitive squad.

“I’m super proud of the squad and of the football club today and I’m delighted for the fans, who have travelled distances this week, and come away with something.”

Reflecting on the balance of the game, Jones believed that the draw was a fair result, but rued the Tigers’ opening goal, which came less than 60 seconds after the restart.

“I thought it was a fair result in the end,” he said.

“It would have been a real travesty if we had come away with nothing. We started really well in the first 10 minutes and had three big chances, but then it settled down.

“They had one chance in the first half which was a delivery in from the left-hand side and then it was always going to take a bit of quality, or a mistake, to break the deadlock and, for us, it ended up being a mistake – trying to dribble out of our own box and it gave them the opportunity to score, so I was disappointed with that because if we had done our basics, then  we would have kept another clean sheet which would have given us the chance to win the game.

But,first and foremost, James Bree does what he does and puts in wonderful, wonderful quality and, secondly, Luke Berry arrived at the back stick at the perfect time to do that – that’s why I brought him to the football club.”

“We’ll dust them down,  give them  a couple of days off and be ready to go,” added Jones.

“We’ve got a week to prepare for it, it’s a home game and it’s one that I’m really looking forward to”
