Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones offers his verdict after the 3-0 defeat to Middlesbrough…

Charlton manager Nathan Jones highlighted Middlesbrough's improved recruitment and clinical attacking quality as the key differences following Charlton's 3-0 defeat on Teesside. Middlesbrough stayed top of the Championship on Saturday with a dominant victory courtesy of a goal from Sebastian Berhalter and a brace from Will Lankshear.
Jones admitted that Boro have significantly improved since Charlton earned a 1-0 win at the Riverside back in March. The Charlton boss praised Middlesbrough's ownership and squad upgrades, while expressing disappointment at his own team's poor defensive efforts and inability to keep away clean sheets.
