Paul Hart rejoins

Not ultra surprising this. Nathan Jones talked in glowing terms of Paul Hart yesterday during his auspicious first pre-match press conference. Hart has played a big part in Jones’ coaching and managerial career and rejoins Charlton about a decade after he left.

Hart is 70 and has had a golden post playing career mentoring and coaching, and as Jones said yesterday was heavily responsible for the careers of a whole team of players that played at the very top. The exalted Andy Reid being one of them.

Blackpool 1 Charlton Athletic 1

A very valuable point but for 70 minutes it looked very unlikely.

How we were not 0-3 down at half-time is a mystery but we deserved a little luck and we got even luckier with our goal and were much better after we equalized.

Exactly what it said on the tin

Yet, they will still take their pay as the bloated management team work out what to do next, no doubt leaving it to Andy Scott to bring the promises and the affirming words.

Reading too much into Fleming hire

It’s a natural inclination of mine, but I’m always looking for an angle so I have been thinking about what the hire of new assistant head coach Curtis Fleming means.

Assistant head coach makes Fleming Michael Appleton’s number two inserting himself above Appleton’s old mate Richard O’Donnell in the club’s coaching hierarchy. O’Donnell is listed as coach and Stephen Henderson is first team goalkeeping coach.
