I wouldn't generally admit to being a fickle football fan. However when it comes to Mr Jones, that seems to change, I will admit that I used to have a small dislike for Jones after his antics at Yeovil and questioned what he really offered.

After Fulham away and seeng how he turned us around and got us ticking again after Hyppia was not only a two fingers up to those who had moaned about him, but it also showed the REAL passion he has for the club, watching him give it large to the away fans at the end was fantastic. Even in recent weeks after being moved down from Assistant Manager he still looks like he cares greatly for the club, He always waits for each player to come off the pitch, High 5's head rubs and bum slaps all round.

He is the one member of the current coaching staff who knows what its like to play for the club and where we have come from.

Whats the view on Nathen these days, has he gone from bad guy to good, was he always a good guy, or do you still not rate him?

Always a good guy in my eyes. Would be nice to see him take the reigns one day when Hughton leaves.

Between Hughton, Calderwood and Jones we have a formidable combination. Never had a problem with him.

Sssshhhh.

Being positive about Jones is not allowed on here.

He was once nasty to the fans when we played Yeovil.

Then there was the 'just seen it Jonsey' incident when he got our player sent off at Yeovil.

Then there was the sarcastic applauding of the fans at Barnsley.

So the fact he is a highly rated coach that Charlton were sorry to see leave and that Garcia offered him a job in Israel, will not wash here....

I'm hoping he provides the fire in the sturdy oven of Mr Hughton and Mr Calderwood.

Nathan is a top bloke in spite of the Yeovil sending off incident. He shows a passion for the Club and the game that is rare these days. Never gave less than 100% as a player and has carried that through to today. When he goes, as one day he will, a living link with our history will have been broken, and it'll be our loss that players new to the Albion won't benefit from the advice he could give them about wearing the shirt and what it means to the fans.

Perhaps the future will see NJ manager and my favourite number 14 assistant (and manager in waiting)....

I enjoyed seeing him on the touchline next to CH yesterday. Looked like he's making a good contribution despite the arrival of CC. He'll learn from both and make a good manager one day.
