In fairness to Nathan Jones, his post match comments were fair & accurate. He admitted that we still have a lot of work to do to improve the attacking aspects of our game.
I know he’s managing at L1 level, but biggest issue IMO is he’s so one dimensional. No Plan B. Just hit & hope if we can’t over run sides.
Last season Jones kept us up, he deserved a medal. However, his football now is as boring and predictable as a post from Ridiculous.
It’s Dave Bassett circa 1987 football. Nathan Jones can get away with it so long as we are nicking 1-0 wins, but as soon as the wheels come off like they did today, questions will be asked. A few Charlton fans on Twitter are saying they want to watch entertaining football on a Saturday, in truth we haven’t seen any this season under NJ. It’s more a muddy cross country run on PE day, than flowing football.
Jones publicly stated the investors have been magnificent this Summer. Cant see it myself. They just re-cycled the Alfie May fee.
NJ this Luton team is pony. Can you recruit maybe a City or Liverpool team in January? We have billionaire owners you know!
I’ve just seen Nathan Jones confirmation that Mitchell was dropped today as a tactical decision our best defender ? Not even on the bench ?? I am not having that - I reckon they have had a bust up of some kind.
Dropped? There were a number of really bad decisions made today and dropping Mitchell is top of the list. Picking Kanu, A Campbell and donkey Ahadme. I still can’t believe how bad we were in the first half.
That’s a truly shocking call - defence has been the only positive this season so far - why fuke about with it now ??
I reckon he has fallen out with Mitchell, Jones is the sort of bloke who could start a fight in a telephone box.
I have heard that , personal fall outs shouldn’t cloud footballing decisions though - he’s shot himself in the foot with that one !
Global can do an even faster handbrake turn than Bodie & Doyle’s old Capri. He’s now urging Nathan Jones to join Cardiff City ?
Along with Lloyd Jones, Mitchell has been outstanding this season. I’m sorry, but Jones is telling porkies saying he was dropped for tactical reasons.
