That is the best press conference I've seen from Jones. No jabs or bravado, no getting annoyed at the press asking questions that aren't relevant to him. He's clearly so comfortable here, it's nice to see

In terms of stuff it was right up there

That is a f**king bizarre question to be asking the opposition Manager

I presume, and hope, given the way that Cawley has worded it, that he didnt ask that question himself

no, it was asked by one of the non Charlton related press boys.

I think NJ is a better coach than people give him credit for, his style of play at times doesn’t help him, but let’s not forget we’ve seen some good football under him, although some will no doubt argue that point. He thinks outside the box which is why we question things quite a lot. I like that interview because he didn’t sit there being little ole Charlton’s manager, he made it clear he expects us to perform and anything can happen. He had good respect for the opposition but his focus is us. People get blindsided by his antics on the sideline including our own fans, but he is a real coach, which is why things got better as time went on last season. I hope the boys put one over Chelsea for Nathan’s sake tomorrow because have no doubts it will be because of the way he has coached the team and prepared for the game.

Wondering if with Bell it's back spasm's or something similar. Can be in agony one day and almost normal the next

I should be used to Jones’ inability to let things go but his insistence to keep mentioning the disappointment of the fans complaining at us not going at a Sheffield United team down to 9 men at home astounds me. I of course buy into the “3 points is better than none” mantra but for me it was an opportunity to widen the gap in the respect of goal difference to some of the teams below us, given it could be a factor at the end of the season.

For me the frustration during the game was nothing about goal difference but was about getting a second goal and putting the game to bed just in case they managed to somehow nick a goal. After all it’s hardly something we’ve not seen before.

I feel sorry for Terry Smith having to ask such sanitised questions. 

Tbf most, if not all, club communication people have the same limitations placed on them. It’s why we’re blessed having the likes of Monsieurs Cawley and Mendez around the place as they can ask slightly tougher ones as Rich showed today.
