    Danny Hylton is very well versed in the darker arts of being a striker and will be able to pass that on to all of our strikers, particularly the young ones including Miles. UEFA B license and working towards A so has the knowledge. Jones knows him well and vice versa. A short term deal to I suppose see how it works out. Really can’t see why there are negative comments. Won’t be near first team squad unless we’re decimated. Jones has fought hard against resistance from Scott to get this done so I’m happy it’s resolved. Blocking what Jones sees best doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.
    Might of missed this, but did Scott try and block the move?
    Allegedly

    Is this Jones just helping a mate out? Hylton needs to be attached to club and coaching to complete his A license. Rather than some cunning master plan it could be just someone doing a mate a favour, with a minimal benefit to Charlton. Perhaps explains the low key/late announcement. The delay could’ve been Jones having to persuade the rest of the SMT.
    Quite an allegation.

    Paul Hart retired. NJ sees him as the replacement? By all accounts it sounds like Hart was respected at Charlton so I can imagine him retiring was a bit of a blow for NJ. Bringing in someone he knows and respects? Just speculation on my part though.

    Obviously gets on very well with Jones. If Jones thinks he will be a valuable addition to the club as a coach, and being at the club helps him get his UEFA Pro license, I guess it is a win-win

    This transfer would probably be gathering more noise had we started the season poorly, luckily, that's not the case.

    Not really bothered that he's signed, definitely just feels like Jones helping an old colleague out, as I imagine there's plenty of people willing to coach out of work. 

    Wouldn't like to see him come on at all in a first team game, he'd just hold us back from what I've seen and heard. Those opportunities belong to the youth and players on the fringe of the starting line up like Kanu.

    Worked out pretty well when we did something similar with Andrew Hughes in 2011

    If we notice a positive change in Ahadme, TC, Leaburn, then I'm happy. Hylton has been known to win a lot of free kicks by positioning his body wisely between ball and defender. Sometimes, our players are that little bit too honest and can lead to decisions being missed, ignored or leave the player putting themselves in a position to be knocked/injured.

    If it's true that Scott tried to block it, perhaps it's not just this poster that thinks it.

    He's not in the playing squad today. I don't think we'll be seeing much of him. As was said above, let's see how the young forwards play under his tutelage

    Think we signed him to get access to cheap hotel deals for away games.

    I'd look at it as, who better to coach our strikers in what NJ expects of the position

    Hughes was a much better player at that point than Hylton is now. He had been in the Championship.

    Let’s hope he’s a decent coach because he has absolutely nothing to offer on the pitch.
    That's the spirit!
    He is 35, closing in on 36. He has scored 12 goals in the last 6 years. None in the last 2 & a half years. 


    Sounds like our sort of striker..

    Let's hope he does more to drive up standards than Allan Campbell did today.

    Think it says a lot about the “player” aspect of his player coach role that Mbick got on the bench ahead of him yesterday.

    Well I mean he's only called a 'player' so he can muck in during training games, that always seemed clear

    Feel like he should get a bench showing vs Southend though

    Surprised he hasn't been involved in any U21 games either - He'd be perfect as that senior figure in matches, which we've seen bigger clubs use

    NJ spoke post match about having a number of strikers injured; Kanu, Gass and Chuks we know but maybe Hylton too. Casey also not playing for U21s

    So Hylton, Aneke Kanu and Ahadme, I assume.

    Methven said at the Bromley thing we had 27 players and it was too much. I counted them all and it came to 28... Assumed it was Hylton and he really is simply a coach.

    Which NJ referenced in his post-match comments saying people said we had too many players but now we have injuries you can see why we need a squad

    Wonder if DH would make the bench tonite?

    Hopefully not, I wouldn’t want to leave out someone like Dixon for him.

    Yeah if he was going to make the bench any time it would have been Saturday

    Given he's not going to play you'd hope he'd be able to coach our strikers to have a bit more composure in the box

    Only we could sign a player /coach who can’t play or coach.

    Any idea what the injury is and how long he’ll be out for?
