Nathan Jones was disappointed Charlton could not turn their superiority into three points in their goalless draw with QPR at The Valley on Friday night.

QPR goalkeeper Joe Walsh made five saves to thwart the hosts before the visitors almost snatched victory with a number of chances in stoppage time.

Addicks manager Jones told BBC Radio London: "I was really, really pleased with the level of performance. The last eight minutes, we caused ourselves problems by turning the ball over and giving them opportunities to counter on us, which is their strength.

"So I thought first half we were outstanding - we really, really worked. Second half, we started really well. We had three chances and the keeper makes three saves, a great save from Dykesy, a great save from Luke and another one from Charlie.

"We had some really good chances and it's just a shame that we just didn't have that bit of composure to win the game.

"The Championship is the Championship and it's hard, it's difficult. These [QPR] are in good form, they've had to defend well, their keeper was man of the match, so it shows we did something right, it's just a tad disappointing [we didn't win]. We've kept another clean sheet, but just couldn't take one of the chances we created."
