Nathan Jones heaps praise on Terry Taylor after Charlton Athletic man impresses on return to league action

Charlton boss Nathan Jones heaped praise on midfielder Terry Taylor following the 1-1 draw with Stockport County.

Taylor, 23, replaced the suspended Conor Coventry in the Addicks midfield – making his first league appearance for over a year.

The former Burton Albion man impressed with his set-piece delivery but also with his passing in open play.

Jones said: “He was excellent. I left him on when I was taking others off. He was really fluent. He got on the ball, he dictated play against two good midfield players. He was excellent.

“He just ran out of legs at the end. He probably made one bad decision at the end where he played it short and could have put it in but apart from that he was impeccable.

“James Brayne [set piece and first-team coach] has stepped up and we have a set-play coach now. We’ve been excellent. Set-plays today, Terry Taylor was wonderful in terms of his delivery.

“We looked a threat. We created plenty from set-plays and from open play. We looked a much more fluent, dangerous team today and that’s credit to the players.”
