'Skivo' will help a reset in coaching

Johnnie Jackson has made it clear that Terry Skiverton was his choice as first team coach.  'He ticks all the boxes for me': https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/johnnie-jacksons-verdict-as-terry-skiverton-joins-charlton-athletic-as-first-team-coach/

Jacko emphasised that it was good for the players to see and hear someone different.   'Someone from the outside can have a different perspective.'

'Skivo' heads for Sparrows Lane

After 23 years with the Glovers in various roles, Yeovil Town assistant manager Terry Skiverton is joining Charlton.   The 46-year old Londoner will have a backroom role, although details are not yet available.  He played for Welling United in the late 1990s.

Skivo receives Twitter abuse

Yeovil Town manager Terry Skiverton has been the subject of abuse on social networking sites from Glovers fans disgruntled with their current position in the league, but he is not allowing it to deter him from his goal of making the club one of the top two in the south-west.   Skiverton admits that Bristol City are ahead, but argues that Yeovil and Exeter are vying for the coveted second spot among the Wurzels:

Quite what his strategy will be against Charlton on Boxing Day is unclear, but we have not found Huish Park an easy place to visit, securing a draw and a 1-0 win.

However, both my teams go into Christmas top of their leagues with the Addicks five points ahead while Leamington are one point ahead at the top of the Southern Premier League with teams below them having games in hand.

My main concern for Monday is the midfield.   We miss Johnnie Jackson and Dale Stephens.  Bradley Wright-Phillips has also been below par, but perhaps he has not got the service he needs.
