    The attempt at trying to fit games around International breaks just dont work. The squad limit of 25 players is not enough when all clubs are having increased injury lists due to the constant games. When you take into account most clubs having 3 keepers in the named squad 3/4 injuries in the same area means clubs cannot compete effectively

    Well if we finally agree the current game schedule is bad for us and for the welfare of players, the question is what to do about it. There are three obvious measures:

    1. Abolish the League Cup
    2. Rearrange the pyramid with regional lower leagues and the Championship and PL 20 teams
    3. cancel the Sky contract on player safety grounds, and tender a new deal which is based on Sat and Sun only and no early or late KOs

    No point asking “who’s with me on that” because I already know that only a small
    minority will be. But  at least you all now know where to look when seeking to blame someone for thw current situation…

    The mirror! 😉

    Nathan Jones looks ahead to Saturday's clash with Portsmouth.
  • I like his words about us being overlooked for the awards... I feel he could use that in his team talk tomorrow

    For me, it's impossible to not like the guy.

    I thought it was interesting RC snippets on X where NJ admitted to having OCD, which if true and not a joke, would make his antics even more understandable.

    Leaked the whole starting lineup

    Henderson

    Fleming Burke Bindon N Jones

    Skipp

    JRC Carey

    Nkeng Hylton Alli



    Really surprised he's decided all the coaching staff need to come out of retirement but in Jones we trust

    He said it was complicated in terms of stuff and he hoped to see Ouma wearing the armband in the next few weeks.

    He hoped to see Ouma wearing an electronic tag for the next few weeks.

    Why does NJ keep saying Skipp is still getting up to speed because he hasn't played much football... He had a pre-season, featured in Leicester's friendlies, started for them, moved to us and started 7 games in a row. He's played 915 minutes.

    You never get a clear picture from what Jones say before a game. I appreciate he doesn't want to give anything away to opponents. Good to hear Chalobah and Godden are back in training but I asume they won't be rushed back.

    They won't feature IMO. If they were, he wouldn't have mentioned them.

    He hasn’t played much football in his career from what I’ve seen - he’s scurried around a lot grappling people and passing sideways and backwards so it’s a bit new to him - even in our side

    Nathan Jones shares his thoughts ahead of the Addicks' trip to the Riverside Stadium on Saturday to take on Middlesbrough.

    Interesting that he said 'we got them in on Sunday so they could air anything'. Maybe trying to sort out any loss of dressing room.
    Also he managed to keep his hands away from scratching his head. Looked like he was deliberately keeping his hands together!
  • He looks exhausted

    The players always look exhausted too.
