    Watched the Hylton interview I was very impressed think keeping him on could be a good move.

    I know a former Luton player as a family friend who played alongside Hylts and says the guy is nuts but at the same time a great man and obviously had a great career respectively.

    I am really liking what NJ has built here so far. I love the way Curtis Fleming has been incorporated in to NJs plans, he is obviously very very well respected by players and staff!

    Fleming seems to have a style that would complement/contrast Jones quite well, when NJ is particularly manic or worked up Fleming would probably be more relaxed and calm. Not quite good cop/bad cop but a variant thereof.

    Yes, I can imagine Curtis helping to ease tensions after NJ throws a wobbly.

    Can you imagine the reaction to this news on here if we were 17th and not 7th

    Football in some ways is a pretty simple business. When a team is doing well then everything is nice and everyone is great, when it’s not, it’s the opposite. 

    At the end of the day, Nathan Jones is the manager and at our current level it should be his decision what the football budget is spent on. If he wants Hylton on board from that budget rather than a better player or more experienced coach, then that’s down to him. 
    I completely agree. Just win games and we’ll welcome as many over the hill cloggers as Nathan Jones wants!

    You’ve got to hand it to him - he lives to be a total wind up. Even some of our own fans find him annoying.

    Him getting to be our 1000th player feels more and more hilarious and apt with every passing day. Life is a grand comedy after all

    I used to know a lovely sweet calm generous guy, would do anything for anybody, but when he got behind the wheel of a car turned into a madman monster.
    Danny Hylton reminds me of him.

    Looking forward to him taking over from Nathan Jones in about 10 years time once we are an established Premier League team 🙂

    Gas has to be on his way out in summer, he is now behind a 36 year old we released a month ago in the pecking order. There's no coming back from that.

    Is he ? he been injured then had set back along with Kanu injury Hylton was on the bench because there was no one else at that time .. Gas is still not really playing games so perhaps there still an issue and like Aneke can only play certain amount of mins …

    Just as  hilarious as if he gets us the goal to guarantee us play offs.

    To be successful as a manager it's vital that you have the right people who you can trust alongside you.
    If NJ wants Hilton as a coach it's the correct decision to keep him here.

    He was there in his Charlton kit (that section under the stands) just before they walked up to the Royal Box, and he was looked to gesticulating to a couple of players around him - Think this is an underrated signing, especially as you saw him being the one to remonstrate with the Referee at Wycombe in the Semi-Final First Leg, rather than Nathan Jones.

    Ex-Town striker Danny Hylton has seemingly retired from football after he was released by Charlton Athletic and then immediately given a full-time coaching role following the club’s promotion to the Championship.

    So basically he has was released and then offered a coaching role, rather than just retiring to focus on coaching full time.  So I guess he is the first signing of the season. 😁

    I do appreciate they recognise his final goal in professional football was against them in a 5-0 battering at sixfields.

    I always saw him more as a guy in the jacket using us (which we were happy to accommodate) to get his coaching licence.

    Now we have a new fully A licence coach for the next season!

    I was looking through Kyle Andrews' pictures from last season and one of them was the end of the Wrexham game at home where Alex Mitchell was taking the piss out of the Wrexham fans. 

    2 of 4

    James McClean didn't like it and Danny Hylton clocked it straight away - I don't think Mitchell has even noticed yet - and was clearly about to get right in there. That kind of hair trigger bastardry and togetherness is something our team used to really lack and you can see why Jones wanted him in most of all. Potts left, ACampbell left, but Jones really wanted to keep Hylton for the effect he could have on the team and I get it

    Nothing will beat the sight of Hylton taking out the Chelsea U21 Goalkeeper in the EFL Trophy... Then minutes later a Chelsea lad had the ball in the centre-circle, saw Hylton charging him down and pull the ball out for a Goal Kick!!
