NATHAN Jones said Charlton Athletic were “magnificent from start to finish” in their 5-0 win against Northampton Town at Sixfields at the weekend.
Greg Docherty, Tyreece Campbell and Miles Leaburn scored to put the Addicks 3-0 up inside 36 minutes.
Docherty scored his second on 68 minutes and substitute Danny Hylton added the fifth in the first minute of added-time.
Charlton have kept four clean sheets in their last five games and are eleventh in League One, four points off the play-off spots.
“I asked for a performance from them today and they gave it to me,” Jones said. “They were magnificent from start to finish. To come away, score five, another clean sheet, the manner in which we took our goals.
“We played Mansfield at home, we had good clear-cut chances and could have won the game. We can win any game, we’re in every single game. We don’t concede much. We took our chances, we were clinical and there were some massive performances.”
Charlton face Cambridge United at The Valley on Boxing Day.
Jones added: “What we have to do is back that up. We can’t get carried away and then be a damp squib on Boxing Day. We have to make sure that we take the positives from today and then move into Boxing Day.
“I’m delighted for everyone today, we’ve been under a lot of pressure lately and we’ve reacted. We’re pleased for the fans because they travelled and filled the atmosphere, it was a magnificent atmosphere.
“They kept the faith and they’ve been treated. I hope we have many more days like today.”
