Charlton manager Michael Appleton was disappointed with his side's performance in the FA Cup.
The Addicks had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Cray Valley Paper Mills in the first round of the FA Cup. A replay now must be navigated.
Charlton, who were in the Premier League in the early 2000s, will be hoping to make a deep run in the cup this season.
After the draw on Sunday, Appleton stated of his rotated team: Up until the [Cray Valley] goal it was okay.
The disappointment was after the goal really. There was a lot of anxiety with a few of the players in the group and they really struggled after that."
I take full responsibility," added Appleton.
I pick the team and clearly it was the wrong one today.
Sometimes you've got to manage and balance the group as best as you possibly can. I certainly felt that the starting XI was more than capable of winning again tonight. And I still do, regardless of how poor some of the performances were."
