Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones has reflected on the moment of madness which saw his side lose 1-0 away to Wrexham AFC.
The Addicks often had to endure waves of Wrexham pressure and had done so remarkably until a devastating self-inflicted blow in the 76th minute saw the Red Dragons awarded a penalty.
Substitute Onel Hernandez was judged to have handled the ball in the area, and, while many were still debating the decision, including home supporters, Josh Windass was in no doubt, slotting his finish coolly into the bottom right-hand corner, despite Thomas Kaminski guessing correctly.
Jones expressed frustration over the situation, but insisted that he is proud of his players for giving everything they can in incredibly testing circumstances.
"There was a moment of madness which cost us at least a point," Jones said. "There's real context behind it.
"Lloyd [Jones], [James] Bree and Kayne Ramsay, in a normal world, wouldn't have played today because of illness and injury, but they've gone through the [pain] barrier for the club and for us, not everyone does that, but they have.
"I thought it was a tight game. I thought we had a lot of good chances in the first half and should have been ahead.
"And then, it's taken that bit of madness to break the deadlock. We still had a chance later on. Berry had a wonderful header, and the goalkeeper made a wonderful save.
"But look, I'm proud of the group for what they've given me because I can't ask for any more."
