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."
