Bowyer fumes at Darren’s dismissal
at
CHARLTON boss Lee Bowyer was frustrated after his side’s hopes of a fightback were hindered by the dismissal of Darren Pratley.
He said: “He’s our most experience player and you don’t expect him to make a mistake like that. We knew it was going to difficult, but to lose the way we have done is tough to take.
“I think we dominated the ball a lot without hurting them.
“Hull will be up there at the end of the season, and rightly so, but it just shows you where we are.
“We have to try and do some business to improve us in January.” The hosts had lost three league games on the bounce but moved up to second in the table following goals in each half from Hakeeb Adelakun and Greg Docherty.
And Grant McCann feels his side are “back on track”.
He said: “The boys’ professionalism over the last 10 days has been unbelievable.
“I thought we performed well against a team who will be at the top end of the table at the end of the season.
“We had a really young back four out there and we coped with everything they threw at us.
“We also looked a threat at the other end, so I’m really pleased with the result.
“There’s a lot of football to be played, but this was important for us to get back on the horse, back on the winning trail and get that confidence back into the group.
“It was important we got back on track. “I think the biggest thing was our control out of possession – we were really resolute in terms of our defensive shape.”
