Charlton boss Nathan Jones reflects on the 4-0 defeat at Millwall
Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones was highly critical of his team after they were thrashed 4-0 by local rivals Millwall.
Jones told BBC Sport:
“We got outworked, out-battled – they treated it as a derby, we treated it as a day in the sun and we got exactly what we deserved.
“It’s not how we work – we work hard, we work a press, we compete, we’ve had success from doing that.
“We’ve been bullied all over today. Millwall were excellent. But we were nowhere near that level.
“It’s a poor first goal, we don’t get to the cross, we allow them to play the ball into the box. And then it’s not a great header. We don’t deal with it.
“We settled nicely, there wasn’t massive problems in the first half. We had opportunities, moved the ball well, got in – possible penalty shout – had some chances.
“But second half we were overrun, outworked on every single level.
“We didn’t prepare to get bullied, we don’t work like that.”
