AlexLaw76 Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 (edited) Jesus christ, you can see already he is well out of his depth...Brighton look like Barcelona on acid. Jones' CV is very poor and we have promoted him well beyond what he deserves. He will not be our manager next season and kind of hope Sports Republic (who are horrific owners) would do a Watford - the football is terrible - Hoooooooof Edited 12 February, 2023 by AlexLaw76 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 The board need to be brave and admit they got it wrong. There is nothing in Jones’ cv to suggest he could manage at this level, how long do you gamble the club’s future? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 The starting line up was all wrong today and that's on him, and as an appointment I think he's a poor choice BUT the one saving grace today is that he did spot the shittest players and sub them off. I mean, any fan could do the same but at least he did it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally_uk Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 So what have we been working on? Because we look worse than we did under Ralph....... First half today I was actually scratching my head thinking what is the actual gameplay? Brighton in comparison were stringing passes together and out maneuvering our lack of midfield. Why we appointed Jones I cannot say I don't know much about the guys credentials or background I'm all for giving people a chance. The squad also needs major work. You look at the team on paper and how weak it is how did we get in such a position? Madness 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 26 December, 2022 Share Posted 26 December, 2022 And this is why sacking Ralph was not the answer so many were proclaiming. He polished a turd for many years and we will probably not realise what we had until a few months have gone. Still way too early for these sort of threads though, but it does have a whiff of 'try and be clever on the cheap' about it, like we tried with the likes of Mara and co in the summer. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t blame Ralph for the squad he had at his disposal and feel the same for NJ. But .., remains to be seen if he can formulate the tactics, and provide motivation to get anything out of this bunch.

Even though we don’t really have a lot of time Jones seems open to changing things and making plenty of tactical switches which is refreshing at least.. our owners dug is in this hole by not filling the attacking positions we needed in the summer properly now it’s gonna be difficult for anoyone to do a job with until we get some reinforcements 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
