Not sure anyone was aware but Jonnie Jackson is currently the caretaker manager of Charlton, apparently doing quite well. Got them playing some decent football.

He had the opportunity to follow Lee Bowyer to Birmingham, but chose to stay at Charlton as assistant to incoming Nigel Adkins. They finished last season strongly but got off to a dismal start this one, mainly due to having to gel in 18/19 new players. Adkins was then removed, a bit hastily imo although the fans had turned on him and as you say, Jackson has been given the job on a caretaker basis. Personally I think he was very fortunate to be given this opportunity, although in fairness he does seem to be making a good go of it so far. League 1 is a very very difficult division to get promoted from, more so this year with so many ‘big’ clubs in there.

Last minute winner for Carlos Vinicius from an acrobatic assist.

A magnificent goal from his time at Bradford, which may have inspired The Fast Show...

Not news to anyone, but hopefully it means that Eriksen's getting closer to playing again.

He has now been made manager. I still think they could and should have stuck with Nigel Adkins, but Jackson has done well with the opportunity that’s been given to him.
