Charlton moved level on points with the playoffs places with a thrilling 2-2 draw with Blackpool but Nathan Jones was disappointed his side didn’t take more from the game. 

The result extended the Addicks unbeaten run to four games but Jones was not happy to see his team give up a two-goal advantage. 

Speaking post-game Jones said: “It should have been three points. My overriding emotion is disappointment at this point in time because we were 2-0 up. We are a very good defensive side. We don't concede two in many games at all, let alone throw away a two-goal lead. It's just the manner of the goals I'm not happy with because we're better than that. 

“The goals are gifts. Their lads finished it well but the lead up to that in terms of what we do, we can be better. 

“But look it's another game undefeated, we're gathering momentum. We've gone up a place, we're level on points with the playoff places, so we're not in the worst position, but it could be better.” 

Jones’ side were well supported by 866 Charlton fans.

“I hope they've had a good day,” he said. “If there's any consolation, they'll be equally as disappointed as me, but they were magnificent. I thought we had given them enough to have sent them home really happy, but they've seen the team that's gone out and tried to win game here.”
