She stopped going or watching us a year ago, follows her local non league club and is clearly not up to date with the goings on at the club
Yesterday she kept going on about how much better it will be when Leaburn is back. Louis eventually had to interrupt to say he was out for the season.

Let’s leave it there please, thanks5

Looking forward to seeing him take us up through the leagues to the prem, and the first game of the season a 5-0 win against Southampton...4

I'm even less enthused by the actions of our SMT who by delaying the termination of Appleton have put us in danger of relegation that even the messiah that is Jones might not avoid.
However I will give him and his team my full support and hope that my unenthusiastic post is wrong.
Which tells me he's more than capable, he just ran before he could get up to a light jogging speed, again.
Hopefully he doesn't make the same mistake three times with us
We have to just hope he can replicate it at Charlton, I think some Luton fan put it quite well that I saw earlier ;
Did NJ lay the foundation for Luton’s success, or was the foundation laid by others and he was one of a few that has benefitted from it?
A club that has a foundation and a togetherness behind the scenes in place, he’s a big success. Clubs that are in turmoil, less so. In that way, he’s a good manager but yet to prove that he’s a great manager.
Luton’s rise from non-league started under John Still, not Nathan Jones so you cannot argue he was the catalyst for their rise from the depths.
I am very hopeful but also very wary that this could also crash and burn a la his Stoke and Southampton stints.One thing is for sure, I don’t think we will see 10th-18th places finishes in the third tier under his management.2 -
Nathan Jones does not have the time at present to build any culture across the club.
We play Reading next, he needs to prepare for that game, which means getting to know as much a possible about where the players are at right now, and picking and motivating a winning team.

There's a day one job, of dealing with this season, but the idea he can't also think long-term is silly, he's a capable manager and coach and will hopefully get what's needed done this season soon9

Perhaps we should be more focused on where we might be in five years time that the constant fear of relegation in a few month's time. It destroys confidence.
Even if we go down, it can hardly be blamed on Nathan Jones.
Who knows, perhaps one season of humiliation at the lowest level might drill some humility into us.
Either way I say let's back the fella come what may. Enough chaos for one club, for one lifetime.4 -
Hopefully short term thinking initially, then start working on the long term vision for his version of Charlton once we have a two digit points gap between us and the bottom four.0

I may have missed it, but is Paul Hart joining as one of his coaches? I bloody hope so! I also hope they keep Curtis on as well.0

“Morning lads, I’m Nathan the Boss”
Right here we go !Some of you are defenders and stop goals. Some of you are forwards and score goals.
Questions ?
Ok lots of questions ….11 -

Would imagine more news on coaching staff etc will come this week.0

Hopefully Nathan Jones meets and greets the players at 9.30 at Sparrows lane and tells the players to cancel their golf or gaming in the afternoons as they will be there until 4 pm all week and he will allow them a half day on Wednesday (instead of a day off) because the Reading game is so important in Charlton's battle to stay in the 3rd tier.25

Chris_from_Sidcup said:The Red Robin said:Completely ignoring his Southampton time. They failed to win their last six games at the end of the 21/22 season under Hasenhuttl. Jones came in during the November after he was sacked after winning twice in nine games. They were easily the worst team in the league regardless of manager.
Jones actually went unbeaten in his first three league games there.They won two league games in sixteen after he left.2 -

We've lost a LOT of games by one goal. It isn't that we're shit ya pants terrible, it's that something is just not happening for these players. We're not far from being quite good. Hopefully Jones is the difference23

Gillis said:Having read some of the thoughts of Luton fans and people that have worked with him before, it sounds like Jones' success at Luton came from building a culture across the entire club and getting everyone to buy into it. It seems like that buy in is essential, because he demands a lot from his players. Where he's been less successful at Stoke and Southampton, it would appear he hasn't been given time to develop the culture he wants, and has struggled to get the buy-in from a dressing room of Premier League or ex-Premier League players.
To me, someone who will establish a strong culture at the club and demand total commitment from the players is exactly what we need. It's also exactly what we've seen whenever this club has been successful. I'm also encouraged by the fact that he's seen what Charlton looks like when it's succeeding, because I'm not sure there are many people left around the place that can say that now.
My concerns are as follows:
1) Will he be given the time he needs to build the foundations and establish the culture he wants?
2) Does he have the energy and desire (and perhaps humility) to start all over again after bruising experiences at Stoke and Southampton? When he started the process at Luton, he was in his first job in management, with all of the enthusiasm and determination to succeed that brings.
3) Will Andy Scott be content to let Jones develop his own culture at the club and bring in his own people (staff and players)? I wonder if Scott might see that as treading on his toes, or even a threat to his own position (I don't necessarily agree with the view of many on here that everything is Scott's fault and he needs to go, but I see tension between the way Scott has described his own role and the way Jones seems to like to operate).
Lots of potential upside, lots of potential potential problems. Whichever way it goes, it's definitely the most exciting appointment we've had in a long time.4 -
Leuth said:We've lost a LOT of games by one goal. It isn't that we're shit ya pants terrible, it's that something is just not happening for these players. We're not far from being quite good. Hopefully Jones is the difference
Last year we scored 70 (6th highest in the divison) but conceded 66 (joint 9th worst)
This year we've scored 43 (8th highest) but conceded 46 (3rd worst).
So it's not hard to see where we need to improve. Improve the defence and we'll be fine.12 -

He's certainly been the difference in two of the last 3 games.
Oh, I see, you meant Nathan...
Agree with your point, though.

“With regards to the set up and backroom staff he brings with him, this is varied in his two spells at Luton. Paul Hart was undoubtably very influential during Jones’s first stint at Luton. However, citing the long journey from his home on the south coast, Hart chose to part ways with Jones during his second spell at Luton. At this point ex Luton town player Alan Sheehan and former Nottingham Forest recruit Chris Cohen came in as his main backroom staff. With Sheehan recently joining Luke Williams at Swansea in a coaching role and Chris Cohen doing the same at Lincoln it remains to be seen who Jones would choose as his back room staff.”
