All nice problems to have for NJ considering where we were at Christmas, everything now is a bonus whether we finish 4th or 5th, I personally don't care who we play and when, if we want to be considered as good enough to go up, we have to beat all comers anyway.
He doesn't leave anything to chance. He's meticulous. I really like that about him. Take this video, for example. He's conning the Burton management by making it look like he's taking it easy by taking a few days off in Spain. Why else would they have shot that video as if it's during a powercut?
At least with Burton now safe we wont have any concerns about having to select our best team.
Burton are not just going to go through the motions as they're now safe. They are professional players who will still want to win so we need to play our strongest team available to continue our good run (Wrexham apart) and go into the playoffs on a high. No problem with leaving out players who may be carrying a slight knock or who NJ thinks need a rest but a win will put us in a better frame of mind going into the next 2 (hopefully 3) games.
If players don’t feature, and it isn’t because of injury, then I take it as a sign that Jones has got over the disappointment everybody feels after Wrexham and will be fully focussed on the play offs.

Tbh I did think they'd been on holiday with that tan !

what I meant was, If they could still have gone down and we field a weakened team against them, and they beat us and stay up, we could be up before the league. At least that used to be the case it may not be relevant anymore.

And even if the EFL aren't taking action, there is an unwritten rule that teams try their hardest, especially if the result has an impact elsewhere.

I don’t think he will start anyone who hasn’t played this season, and those who are selected will try their hardest.
Nice to hear him say that the club wont fall apart based off this one result tomorrow. I also like how he spoke about the squad when Tel mentioned Ramsay's blocks on Thursday, Jones was determined to remind him that its simply part of a collective effort, and we wouldn't be anywhere without the team as a whole.
On the sidelines he is as mad as a box of frogs, but when he's speaking like that you get the sense that he really does know what he's doing. Top man, Jonesy - whatever happens tomorrow.
Can’t fault that interview at all. Realistic, unapologetic, respectful, avoided getting carried away, showed fearlessness.
I even like how he stopped short of raving about Kanye Ramsay’s double-block against Wycombe and reframed it as a representation of the efforts of the whole team. Now we just need to do the business tomorrow… 🤞🏼

Hi Bob
i love how he is so nutty pitch side especially after having to endure the total lack of giving a toss from the previous twat. When you see how he can galvanise a squad it makes me wonder why that didn’t happen at Stoke ? Is it just the player mix didn’t react ? Or technically he struggled do you think ?
Whilst it will be disappointing to miss out, I now feel this club has a plan and contingencies in place to move on and up in all departments. For too long i have attempted to block off my football clubs decline, and not let it consume me. I just want to see us do things right, and where that takes us will be a great journey. Proud to be Charlton again at the moment and this fella is a good part of that transformation. I had my doubts and frustrations Nathan, but you have come through. Up the Addicks!
yes, just so pleased for him and us that its all coming together nicely - a win tomorrow will be the icing on the cake (viva las vegas !!) but as he says, even if we don't win tomorrow, we'll carry on moving in the right direction
The same message is coming from various avenues in the club about the owners being good and that the right pillars are being put in place to move us forward. Of course I will be devastated if we lose tomorrow but I will for a change also believe we will be in a better place next season to go again. We will get our Charlton back

At Stoke he had big earners that didn't buy into his philosophy. Similar situation at the Saints where he couldn't get the players to respect him and unfortunately Nathan did say outlandish comment which was used to bash him with.
Charlton was similar to Luton where he could galvanized a different group of players with a club that had known better days but had slipped down the divisions; Luton even further than CAFC 3rd tier.
Nathan is our crazy manic pitch preacher and even the Atheists and humanist's amongst the Cafc fan base will say Amen to that if we reach the promised land of the Championship after being in the wilderness for so long.

Hi Andy
I think it was more the players not responding to Nathan's passion rather than his shortcomings (the same I think at Southampton). He certainly had supportive owners at Stoke - one of the most supportive in English football I would suggest.
Nathan just gets Charlton, and the players (and owners) get him.

Charlton Athletic boss has ‘no complaints’ when he is asked about potential red card incident – South London News
It was hylton who went to the ref at h/t - smart asbwe don't want nathan getting a suspension.
And then at full time I 2as expecting nathan to have a go at the wrexham manager or ref, but he was really composed.
