Pre match interview spoke very highly of NJ and said he was being closely considered by the board. Sounded like if he wins tonight hes in.

Performance aside, that was one of the best post match interviews I can remember. I'm becoming NJ-curious.

I wouldn't go that far, although being No.2 to Sami has given Jones a masterclass in how NOT to manage a football team. We need to keep him if we can though.

I agree. Did you go to the game today? I think we should seriously consider giving NJ until the end of the season and then re-evaluate.

The best part of this, is we know there is no need to panic and rush a new manager in.
A week ago the candidates held all the aces. Now Tony knows he has a competent man to steady the ship and give him the time he needs to make the right decision.
Personally I would like to see NJ given a few more games.

Not sure which thread to post this... If, given the premiership ' swap shop' that is currently under way, the calibre of candidate likely to be available to us will diminish. At this point Tony Bloom might then consider Nathan and if he does perhaps we should do what we did ( magnificently) tonight and get 100% behind him and the team?? Just a thought
This. He's done TB a massive favour.

Listened to him post Reading and was impressed. Thought to myself....' thats what a manager should sound like...not the turgid stuff we've had to listen to for 5+ months '

Lets see how many will be calling for Nathans head if we get beat in say next 2 games its too early to give him the job after 2 results and its obvious barber wants Nathan to be manager as it saves money

There is no time to give NJ a bedding in period, a good result yes, but this is no time to waste a trf window on the off chance it MAY work out..... sadly we have no choice, experience is what we need.....and quickly.

A draw at Brentford in the cup and a win at Charlton I would give Nathan the job till the end of the season and review the position, depending how he makes players want to play for the club.

There's nothing to stop Nathan Jones bringing in an experienced no.2 if he gets the job.

What with Newcastle and WBA looking for managers if Pardew does go think Sherwood and Pulis are out of the frame... that leaves Hughton, NJ or ANOther. Hughton does nothing for me so in which case Id give three more games to NJ and if he does well keep him.

Or given him a massive headache if he had been cosying up to Houghton.

Nobody will know better than Jones what we need in the transfer window.
When watching him on Boxing Day and last night I saw something completely different to anything in a while. Passion, belief, motivation all the key attributes we need. It is early days yes, but....it shows that WE do have the players that work together but they need leadership. NJ is showing this. Id like to see him for another couple of games. We know hold the ace card like an earlier poster said, therefore if a new manager does come along they know what they have to do.
Good point......

That would again leave us playing catch up in the trf window...... no thanks, its now or never.

Agree with that. An appointment needs to be made in December. Having said that, I assume Jones will have a big say in what's needed anyway given Hughton would have only just got in the door
