None.

He got lucky, he hasn't been able to do it for 5 years.

Would you accept nano credit? If so thats how much I would give him. He said himself he couldnt see how we would get back into the game, he then took a gamble with Burke and luckily it paid off.

His best substitution in 4 years. He is usually useless, Burke changed the game.

It was a very good substitution. Not just Burke, but moving Blake and Whittingham, who both made massive improvements in the positions they slotted into.

I'm not one for knocking jones, but subs havent been his strong point.

Mind you I can remember a game about 9 months after he'd taken over when my mate was screaming for him to change the strikers, - and they were rubbish. Jones only had Alan Lee who had hardly scored since he arrived, on the bench and he turned around at the shout (my mate is very loud :lol: ) and just held his hands out as if to say 'who ?'.

At the time it was funny because Lee was unfit and hopeless at the time - Jones really didnt have any decent option.

He changed tatics and that caught Leicester out. I bet there manager still trying to explain it to the chairman ' mr chairman i cant understand it myself he has never changed tactics during a game come to think of he hasnt changed them full stop' :lol:
