Charlton were held to a 0-0 draw at The Valley on Friday night in a London derby against Queens Park Rangers.
The Addicks were the better side for the majority of the game and had plenty of failed opportunities to take the lead.
Despite frustrations Nathan Jones looked towards the positives of the result.
“For 90 minutes I was really really pleased with the level of performance, the last eight minutes we had problems with turning the ball over and giving them opportunities to counter on us.
“Which is their strength, majority of their goals come from counter attacks and quick.
“I thought first half we was outstanding, really really well, second half we started really well we had three chances and he made three saves.
“Just a shame we just didn’t have that bit of composure and quality to have won the game.”
Charlton suffered a 4-0 defeat at The Den against Millwall a couple of match weeks ago, a real low point for the club. Since then they have collected four from six points a real show of character from Jones’ men.
“It had to have been rock bottom for us, not just because who it’s against but the level of performance and stuff had to be players that could buy into everything.
“We looked a threat tonight, we really did and I was pleased with the level of performance we just needed to show a tiny bit more quality.”
Jones made seven signings such as Conor Coady from Wrexham, Lyndon Dykes from Birmingham City and Collins Sichenje from FK Vojvodina in the most recent January transfer window to bolster Jones’ hope of helping Charlton reach safety this season.
“Every window we go into, we have to come out of it stronger and we’ve done that since, I know since I’ve come to the football club, every window we’ve improved.
“I had my two year anniversary two days ago and if you look at where we are, where the club is, where the squad has evolved into, we are on another planet from where we were.”
Next up for The Addicks is Stoke City at home next Wednesday. Stoke City started the season off well, however The Potters have not been in good form recently having only taken victory in one of their previous five.
So an opportunity for Jones' men to continue their points streak.
