Charlton manager Nathan Jones believes his side are starting to learn how to win games after they defeated Bristol Rovers 2-0 in League One.
The game at the Valley was settled with two first-half goals, putting the south London club one point off the play-offs.
Jones was quick to praise his side, who have now won six out of their last eight outings, and Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Josh Griffiths, who was pivotal in keeping the score down.
He said: “We’ve learned our lessons, we’ve been at Cambridge and been two goals up, but we conceded on 55 minutes and made it a tricky game.
“We conceded late against Wycombe, although we won the game, so we’ve learned the lessons from that.
“Out of possession we were fantastic. We had another clean sheet and I thought we were really good going forward.
“I was really pleased. They are a tricky side to play against. I thought we were really aggressive, really good in the first half.
“Their goalkeeper did some really good saves but we were really front footed.”
It proved to be a comfortable evening for Charlton, who were worthy of their victory in a game where they could have won by a wider margin.
The returning Matty Godden opened the scoring after 12 minutes, by poking home a drive by Thierry Small.
Griffiths was the busier of the two keepers, denying the goalscorer twice more, a Luke Berry free-kick and a Macauley Gillesphey header.
However, the Bristol Rovers resolve was broken nine minutes before the break, when Josh Edwards shot down low into the net from the edge of the box.
Ashley Maynard-Brewer did well to deny a Scott Sinclair free-kick after 39 minutes, in the visitors’ only attack of the half – and the contest.
The visitors remain four points off the drop zone and Inigo Calderon believes his side needs to toughen up at the back.
He said: “We have to be a bit harder to beat and the goals we conceded were a bit too soft.
“We cannot create 25 chances per game, so we have to try and review that.
“We are not the strongest team. It is normal when you’re down the bottom of the table, that when bad things happen it plays on your mind.
“It is not good news when the goalkeeper is the best player for your team – we have to do better.
“We are conceding too many soft goals, that’s for the whole team and not the goalkeeper.”
