DAVE JONES IF ONLY YOU HAD A

Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:25 pm

LEADER ON THE PITCH and had a plan B when the other team scores first.

Last night, there was no one out there prepared to get stuck in, tell the others and show leadership.
J is a superb player on times but not a Captain.

I think that is now 94/95 games in 5 years 1 nil down come back to Win 5 Games under Dave Jones out of 92 Managers has the 92 Second Worst Record.

This Season in any game 1 nil down come back to WIN ZERO. Plan B, Where is it DJ ?

When we've gone 1-0 this season, we've lost EVERY game apart from Palace, where we came back to draw.

Well that stops here Annis.

If we go down to Leicester on Saturday I promise you I'll keep singing, maybe louder than before. It's all we can do. :ayatollah:


(In fairness after the first three Newcastle goals went in we were superb, each time they scored we just kept on singing.)

Being unable to comeback in virtually every game we've gone behind surely speaks volumes at Jones managerial skills, the man is a one trick pony.

The only change last night from Jones was a full back for a full back, it's hard to criticise because I only listened to the radio but when we are 2 - 0 down with 20 mins to go, I'm looking for a positive substitution, it didn't happen, and more annoyingly, knew it wouldn't happen.

i'm by no means defending Jones, i think this is a valid criticism

BUT, do we have a squad capable of a 'plan b'? i'm not sure

But DJ assembled the Squad and we pay Double the Wages compared to 80% of Our Division.

But a lot of our key players are injured and as we all know DJ couldnt strengthen in January. People need to give DJ a break. I dont think Alex Fergurson could do much better with our squad at the present time.

There have been several occasions this season when Chopra has just been totally out of the game. There are options to change things with Feeney or moving McCormack.

I would even consider throwing Gerrard up front for the last ten minutes if we needed a goal.

There are creative options, you just need a manager with a backbone (or just the brian power) to impliment them.
