Charlton secured a ninth win in 12 games with a 1-0 victory at Crawley Town with Nathan Jones was delighted to see his side pick up all three points.
Thierry Small’s 37th-minute goal ended up being the winner as the Addicks kept a 17th league clean sheet of the season to move fourth in Sky Bet League One.
“I’m really delighted,” Jones told CharltonTV. “This was a tricky game. I’d have taken any win tonight because this was our game in hand.
“You always want a performance, you want to be fluent, you want to be dominant but realistically it was all about the win tonight. It’s a tough place to come, the pitch, the tight ground, the way they play – they have a lot of attacking players – clever, little players that can hurt you if you are not at it. It was a tricky fixture and I’d have taken any win. To win 1-0, to keep a clean sheet, to get the goal when we did – I’d have liked us to convert our chances a little bit more, but I’ll take the win.”
