No he didn’t, which is the exact point I was making. Had he stated the season as he played the last 2 games, he probably would have done seeing as Southgate doesn’t appear to rate Madison As for people trying to make out he’d have played the same position for Ralph given the same player’s available, I’m calling pony. He never played as far forward even when everyone was fit. Hence the title of this thread. Looks like dear old Ralph missed a trick and the cult are rewriting their bible.

He’s got tremendous ability but Klopp ain’t great for him. He needed drilling over and over, he needed coaching as a full back, ironing out his weaknesses. If he couldn’t be taught he then needed turning into a midfielder, coached and encouraged in that role. It’s called management & coaching, as opposed to accepting his weakness to concentrate on his strengths. It’s probably too late now because he’s behaviours are imbedded. I’d bet my life if the Jose of a decade ago got hold of him, he’d be able to defend ok.

Slow down? You need to start putting it about mate… https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11438493/Having-SEX-help-ease-agony-gout-say-experts.html

If Jones had come in earlier he’d probably have made the World Cup squad.

He has had some absolute stinkers the past year, so that’s pony for a start.

Anyone who doesn’t think he’s been pony prior to the World Cup is a moron who doesn’t know anything about football. We’re not “lucky” to have him, anymore than we were lucky to have OR, Steve Davis or Danny Ings. It’s such a noddy attitude, He’s played a couple of good games under Jonsey & all of a sudden he’s up there with Matt. There’s a reason Lallana, Mane, Morgan, Big Vic, Shaw, VvD moved on and he didn’t, and it’s nothing to do with loyalty. At the moment he wouldn’t get in our best side of the past 10 years, let alone the past 40. Talk about getting carried away. He needs to maintain this level a bit longer than 3 games before objective people will start gushing over him.

Fuck me, some of you falling off the wagon & I’m climbing aboard. Unfortunately I’m facing a spell on the sidelines, Doc has prescribed blood thinners for 6 weeks to clear a blood clot. Says 2 units max a day and no heavy sessions. Might have to try out some of the 0% shite recommend on here……

He’s a class above Adams & Armstrong, but the hipsters will prefer Carlos Kick-a-ball.

He’s not the second best SFC player the past 40 years.

I’m reading a lot of old pony about interfering with play since that goal. You used to get perfectly good goals disallowed because somebody was offside by the corner flag, I don’t think anybody wants to go back to that. Imagine if Prowse free kick yesterday was disallowed because KWP was stood off side at the far edge of the area outside of the keepers eyeline. Nobody on here would be quoting Shanks or Cloughie. The issue is that football (as in players, managers, pundits) have pushed for consistency. The drive for less and less subjective decisions has led to complicated wording and rules around what used to be the referee’s opinion (handball is another one). The rule should be very simple “ if in the opinion of the referee the player is interfering, he’s offside. The problem is referees will have different opinions and managers will start whining about one goal given one week, and one disallowed the following week.

The Tommy Doc way. When appointed, he told the chairman of Rotherham “I’ll get you out of this league”. After relegation the chairman said to him “You’re man of your word Tommy, I’ll give you that”.

Most of it this century. It makes me laugh when you’ve got Oliver Holt, Henry Winter and other twats constantly running them down the past few years. No stability, sack managers too early etc etc. they’re up with city as the most successful club this century.

It was meant to be Claude & Brady but Claude is ill

As another Jones in traveller who also received a load of clog, I agree with every word. Some people clearly jumped the shark when we had a non league manager stating; he’s out of his depth, Lyanco wouldn’t get in the Havant side, and bizarrely that a bloke who hasn’t played since, faked his injury. Posters lapped it up.

Typical Soggy. Pages & pages of people wanting him sacked, with just a few of us defending him, no sign of Soggy urging us to remain calm and give him a chance. . All of a sudden he wins 3 games and here comes Soggy preaching. 😂😂😂

27 to be exact.

So in answer to my point that Ralph was holding him back this season, you bring up last season? 🤪 I can’t remember too many times that Prowse, or any other midfielder, arrived like he did for the first goal. Get the ball up to the forward & run off him. Not since Koeman have we really done that regularly , if it becomes a regular tactic it’ll be another feather in jonseys cap.

Some of us thought that all along. 27 of us, most accused of being him or his family, voted no in the sacking poll. Now I realise why you pay such attention to my posts, you want to learn. Good lad, you’re never too old to gain understanding . 😂

The problem, is the editing. They’re obviously highly intelligent decent business people but the editing makes them look like half wits. The “you’re fired’ thing ion BBC2 afterwards has gone downhill rapidly since that skinny bald twat has taken over from the fat Irish twat. Horrendously unfunny, painfully boring guests. Used to be a good little show.

And while we’re on the subject. Saint 86 was the bloke who couldn’t understand how Jonesy (who he wanted sacked) played Che Adams today. You know, the Che Adams that had an assist for the first goal & won the free kick for the second goal.

He was pony for months, fucking pony. He’s played a couple of decent games under Jones this week. You know Jones ? the bloke you wanted sacked….

He was still mincing about when Lavia did play. Lavia came off Weds and again today, Jonesy didn’t change Prowse role. I know you’re the President of the Cult, but Ralph was clearly holding him back this season.

I’ll tell you what… I bet Prowse wishes Jonesy had arrived in the club in the summer instead of Ralph letting him mince around in Aug/Sept/Oct. This new aggressive forward thinking Prowse would have been in Qatar . The Ralph cult should think on that…

It wasn’t pony though was it? Even the boy wonder agreed with me, too nice, too easy to play against- his exact words. A very very small minority of us were prepared to give Jonsey time to get the aggressive playing style imbedded. so I don’t think I’ll be taking any lectures from from one of the hysterical drama queens, who were calling for his head.
