ADDICKS boss Johnnie Jackson has praised his team after they beat AFC Wimbledon in an exciting south London derby.
Charlton are into the top half of the table after a third successive league victory and they have banked 10 points from a possible 12.
Addicks manager Johnnie Jackson said: “The game was a little too open and end-to-end for my liking at times. But we won not being at our best, which is pleasing.
“I was really confident our results would turn and we’d work our way out of it. I had full trust in the players. Three wins on the bounce is really pleasing.
“It was a wonderful pass from DJ (Jaiyesimi) and great movement from Conor, it’s something we’ve been working on a lot with him.
“You need someone to provide the ammo – DJ has got his head up and spotted the run. The execution of the pass, outside of the boot, was a great ball. It was begging for Conor to go and finish it.
“Akin wants to be a threat in the opposition box and he should be with his size and physicality.
“All those centre-backs should be chipping in with goals from set-piece situations – you have to be cute and aggressive with your runs. You’ve got to want it more than the guy marking you.
“I’m pleased for Akin, he deserves that.”
On Saturday evening Wimbledon said there had been clashes involving both sets of fans at a train station following the match.
The club said in a statement: “The club has been made aware of significant disorder at London Bridge Station involving AFC Wimbledon fans and Charlton fans following this afternoon’s match.
“The police are dealing with the incident and will be keeping the Club informed of any further developments.”
