Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones believes Derby's two goals at The Valley were avoidable.
Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones believes Derby's goals against his side were "avoidable" following the Addicks' 2-1 home loss.
A Macaulay Gillesphey own goal and Bobby Clark finish were enough for the Rams to see off Charlton at The Valley despite Tyreece Campbell pulling one back with 20 minutes to go and the visitors going a man down late on.
The loss leaves Jones and Charlton stuck in 18th in the Championship table.
"I'm disappointed because I felt the goals were avoidable," Jones told BBC Radio London after the match.
"If the goals were avoidable and we have the second-half performance like we did, then that's what we want to do and what we've been doing.
"But of late, we've struggled to keep clean sheets and struggled to defend how we normally defend, and that's cost us because you can't chase Championship games two-nil down.
"There's a lot of endeavour. We moved the ball first half without really having enough purpose, but Derby came with a game plan and sat in. It was very difficult."
