Nathan Jones is proving to be just the antidote an ailing Charlton Athletic side needed in League One as the Addicks mount a fight so stay in the third division following a rotten run of results over the festive period and New Year.
The former Southampton and Luton Town manager has picked up 10 points in the league since arriving at the club at the start of January, with Charlton now unbeaten in six after Tuesday night's away win at Cheltenham Town.
LondonWorld looks at how Jones ranks against his nine Charlton predecessors for the number of points picked up in their first seven league fixtures - only managers who competed seven games included, notably Johnnie Jackson's first caretaker stint is not included.
