Richard Cawley reminds us that Nathan Jones chalked up 100 league games in charge of Charlton at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday.
The last manager to achieve this feat was Lee Bowyer in 2020.
Under Jones the Addicks have won 41, drawn 32 and lost 27, His win rate is 41 per cent. Arguably too many draws.
I wouldn't rate Jones as anywhere near Jimmy Seed, Alan Curbishley and Lennie Lawrence (or Chris Powell who suffered from the barmy Belgian).
But he is doing a job for us, getting us out of League One and probably keeping us in the Championship. I don't think we're quite safe yet and Saturday's fixture against Norwich is tricky.
One thing most fans would agree on is that some of the players are not good enough for the Championship and we need them to find their level in League One or Two. No names, no pack drill as there is understandably disagreement about some names.
But with a second season in the Championship, a good stadium and training ground and a London location, we should be well placed to attract some quality players next season.
