Nathan Jones was disappointed with his side's loss to Preston North End on Saturday afternoon.
“We didn’t get the second goal in the first half, we didn’t deal with a situation well enough, we didn’t organise from a set play, and then they scored too easy."
"They might think exactly the same, we weren’t relentless enough to take on the start. Second half they were brighter than us, ran harder than us and they got the second goal, and we had to chase the game again,” Jones explained.
“We have had enough situations and shots to get the second goal; I am watching games and teams don’t get the opportunities we do.”
“We have shown moments every game we can score a goal, but when we need to get that second goal we just haven’t.”
“When we debrief and when we work, we show and we demonstrate what we need. There are little things that aren’t coming together that good teams do.”
The Addicks have created numerous chances as of late, but have struggled to make them count.
“All of these games recently should have been put to bed, but we didn’t and that is the home games. We go away from home, don’t create anywhere near as much, but because of how we are defensively, we manage to get points. We just need to demonstrate that touch of real quality,” the gaffer said.
“The performance levels are there to a certain extent and we are creating the chances, and in league one, we scored two and threes but it’s a different level of competition the Championship, it’s a monster of a league, we know that and we have to step our levels up.”
“We need a win, and we have taken the pressure off them, but we need to win, categorically, we need a win as soon as possible, we don’t want to get sucked in. From Oxford, the points haul has been really poor.”
“We have to dust them down, get them focused and we go again next week.”
The Addicks return to action at The Valley on Wednesday, April 22nd when they host Ipswich Town. Get your tickets now!
