Nathan Jones reacts to what Thomas Kaminski did in Charlton Athletic's setback v Portsmouth | OneFootball

The Charlton boss has criticised his goalkeeper after two long-range goals helped Pompey to a 3-1 win at The Valley in their crucial relegation match.

Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones has criticised goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski over the goals that the Addicks conceded against Portsmouth on Tuesday night.

Tuesday was a difficult night for Charlton Athletic, as they lost their crucial home Championship match against Portsmouth at The Valley. The match - which was rescheduled from the start of December, when it was abandoned due to a medical emergency in the crowd - was important to both teams, who went into it perilously close to the division's relegation places, and it was Portsmouth who came away with the spoils, with a 3-1 win.

The result lifted Portsmouth, who'd started the evening just a point above the bottom three, to 19th place in the table, while Charlton remain in 18th place. The Addicks are seven points above the relegation places, with 14 games of their season left to play.

"He has to save that" - Nathan Jones blasts goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski over Portsmouth errors

Speaking after the match, manager Nathan Jones didn't hold back in criticism of his own team, singling out goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski over the nature of Portsmouth's two of Portsmouth's three goals.

In an interview with the club's media team posted to the social media platform X, he said: "I think the first one is a goalkeeping error. He has to save that. We can close him down and we can block a shot, but we can't block everything.

"So you expect him to save from that distance - the first one especially, the second one... we'll have to look at it," the Charlton boss continued. "It was that kind of night."

Kaminski mistakes are a worry, but the goalkeeper went into this match in good form

Tuesday night was certainly a bad evening at the office for Thomas Kaminski. Terry Devlin's thirty-yard opener moved in the air a little, and that movement of the ball seemed to wrong-foot the Charlton Athletic goalkeeper.

Portsmouth doubled their lead through Colby Bishop from the penalty spot ten minutes from half-time, but the third goal raised further questions about Kaminski, another long-range shot from Devlin, this time from an angle, which squeezed in through the near post.

This was a less egregious mistake - the ball was curling away from the goalkeeper and went in off the woodwork - but Kaminski will undoubtedly be disappointed to have been beaten from such a distance twice in the same match. On top of everything else, the goalkeeper also picked up his second yellow card of the season.

It does, however, seem unlikely that Kaminski will be dropped. Charlton have two back-ups in the form of Will Mannion and Tiernan Brooks, but Kaminski has been an ever-present in goal for them this season, and his previous performances in goal had been impressive. He went into this match off the back of three consecutive clean sheets, against Leicester, Queens Park Rangers and Stoke City.

At 33 years of age, Kaminski is an experienced goalkeeper and should be able to bounce back from this. Jones' comments weren't a case of a manager hanging a callow young player out to dry. But the goalkeeper will not be able to afford too many more performances of this nature, especially with Charlton's Championship survival this season remaining nowhere near confirmed.
