    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.

    More forward movement than a train out of whales.

    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.

    I reckon the bottom line is that Ivor's mate has f***** him over with recruitment.

    Jones publicly stated the investors have been magnificent this Summer. Cant see it myself. They just re-cycled the Alfie May fee.

    He’s probably happy they accepted his desire for May to go. Shame his alternate plan has failed

    Said all along, Jones will stand or fall on the May deal.

    I’ve just seen Nathan Jones confirmation that Mitchell was dropped today as a tactical decision <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    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 ??

    Mitchell left out for tactical reasons.

    Very strange.

    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.
