Campbell can 'go all the way' after Stoke winner, says Charlton boss Jones
Charlton Athletic put further distance between themselves and the Championship relegation zone after a narrow win over Stoke City.
Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones insists Tyreece Campbell "can go all the way" following his winning goal against Stoke City.
The Addicks moved seven points clear of the Championship relegation zone, after a narrow 1-0 victory at The Valley.
Campbell climbed off the bench to score the winner nine minutes from time, netting his third league goal of the season after Ashley Phillips failed to deal with a Lyndon Dykes flick.
And Jones has urged the 22-year-old forward to have more belief in his abilities.
"I had a feeling about TC tonight after last Friday night's game [the 0-0 draw with Queens Park Rangers], where I didn't feel he was at it," the Charlton boss said. "I gave him a little bit of a chat, and I just had a feeling about him tonight.
"If he realises how good he is and gets his mental side of everything right, then the kid can go all the way.
"He moves like a Premier League player. How he controls things, how he shifts, how he runs – he has all the physical attributes to be that. It's just up to us to bring that together."
Jones was involved in a post-match altercation with Stoke coach Ryan Shawcross after celebrating victory against his former club, where he spent just 10 months in charge in 2019.
"It has been an emotional night for me, so I wanted to get off the pitch as soon as possible, or I'd have got myself in trouble," he added. "They [Stoke fans] have given me stick ever since I was there.
"I wouldn't read too much into that. That's part and parcel of it. They give me a little bit; I give them a little bit. Surely, they realise that's banter, especially when we have won the game."
Meanwhile, Stoke are now without a win in five Championship matches.
Despite enjoying 64.1% of possession, they registered just two shots on target with an xG of 0.5, and midfielder Steven N'Zonzi rued the Potters' lack of a cutting edge.
"I don't think it was a bad game overall. We just conceded that goal, and we couldn't score," he told BBC Radio Stoke.
"Of course, we have to do much better for the goal, but then offensively as a team, we have to do much, much better. If you want to win games, you have to score goals.
"We are competitive players, we are a competitive team, we are a competitive club and, obviously, when you lose, you have to be disappointed.
"But the season is not finished, you have to keep working hard and keep training hard and trying to get some points. We have to go and try and win as much as we can, and try to play freely."
