Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones was less than impressed with his side in Saturday's 2-0 win for Reading- labelling some of the defending 'a disgrace.'

The Royals dominated the first half but had no lead to show for it. The Addicks came into the tie during the second period but were struck by quickfire goals from Charlie Savage and Sam Smith to inflict their first defeat of the season.

Jones- formerly of Luton Town and Southampton- cut a frustrated figure on the touchline and confronted referee Thomas Kirk immediately after the match on the field.

Speaking after the defeat, the Welshman said: "“I’m really disappointed. We lacked energy and were really poor in the first half. We couldn’t step on to Reading, we couldn’t affect the game.

“We were much better in the second half but then it’s taken a goal from 30 odd yards [Savage], which I felt that we could have done better at.

“And then, for me, the second goal is a disgrace in terms of our defending.

“We weren’t at it today, we just weren’t at it.

“There’s a lot of reasons for that. I know [why] but I’m not going to say. I’ll deal with that moving forward.

“Again, with their second goal, it was a disgrace. With our body language and what we did, we just switched off. Reading switched on, we didn’t.

“Again, I’ll deal with that side of it, but there’s lots leading into it that I’m really disappointed at. It was horrific defending.

“When we are what we are, we’re a good side. But it took us 45 minutes to be what we are. By that time, we didn’t get any grip of the game.”

Jones' post-match verdict on the official club channel has gone viral online, with the former Stoke City chief claiming he was 'raging off my nut.'
