Bluesteel Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Could potentially be another Paddy Collins who looked to have some good attributes but we couldnt find an effective position for him. It did seem strange to play him on the right though, it does reduce his chances of impressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owllincoln Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I made a thread last week, asking for him to be given a chance. He had his chance today and wasted it. Terrible. 100% agree. I amm a big fan of Jones but today he looked like a lost kid. Stick with him though as I genuinely believe he will become an excellent fuill back in time, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) You're surely not suggesting that he be played LEFT back in preference to Buxton? Buxton in recent weeks has been one of the stars of the side. This is true, I think Megson knows Jones is a bit shuffle, either that or his attitude doesnt fit.. The argument about Jones being out of position slightly is proved incorrect for me by Lewis Buxton. We have 3 left backs, and are playing a right back/centre half there ahead of them all, because he's still the best full back we have even out of position. Jones was shocking today, the whole game passed him by, and he didnt seem too bothered. Edited April 25, 2011 by leea8331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyfunk Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 But it's hardly reyt to play him right wing. Looked totally lost with his positional play. He's a full back, who can do a job on the left wing. Not a right He's never on gods earth been a full back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Which bit of what i wrote would make you think that? Can you actually read? Judging a left back on the right wing and then writing him off completely after one game is a tad unfair. I suppose its the Wednesday way these days. FYI i think Lewis Buxton is our player of the season. Wasn't Megson extolling the virtues of Buxton the other week saying that whenever he plays him out of position he always gives 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web_owls Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 It is all about aptitude and effort, the lads got **** all. Anyone who has plays will always have a preferred position but the notion that a professional footballer has no idea how to play in other certain positions is ridiculous. Maybe Megson was giving him a trial, afterall we are safe, but the lad failed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lebanon Owl Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 He should be Left Back at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyBeevers Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Didn't do great. I thought he got injured when he flew into a tackle in the Leppings Lane End penalty box in the first half. If he wasn't injured then, then he was just f**king bone idle for most of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igm1 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I don't know how true the rumours of his off-field behaviour are, or any possible falling out with Megson, but I'm really not a fan of Jones. Maybe it's the flash boots or the prancing around the pitch doing not a great deal that irritates me, acting like a superstar when he's achieved nothing at all and doesn't look likely to. I read on here recently that he doesn't like playing on the wing, well he's not good enough as a left-back either, which makes him a non-entity of a player. Not impressed so far with anything about him. What rumours are these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUCE LEE Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Off the field i couldnt give a throw..... But that today, considering he's been given a chance to show Megson what he can do... it was unacceptable. Worst player on the pitch by a mile.

ReadingOwl Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Not impressed so far with anything about him. He was absolutely fantastic at Bristol City. Head and shoulders above anyone on the pitch. The fans on their forum raved about him too. I like him and would stick with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanderbeard Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Got injured but as he`s not been playing carried on which anyone would have done.Been there done that but it`s just made it worse for him as this thread proves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynnb Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Really surprised with him today- thought he was excellent defensively in the first half got a lot of blocks in on crosses but then he moved onto the right wing. Never looked comfortable never took a player on or ran with the ball into the space ahead of him. Hardly ever gave Buxton an out ball then got a solid round of applause when he went off- bizarre. If he had a ruck with Megson then he certainly never looked today like he wanted to prove a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Daniel Jones On occasions this season Jones as played a game done ok then he's left out. I think he's better than Spurr and Reynolds who have both played more games this season. There are a few more on the out list before Jones. Don't understand the personnal attack on one player after a 3-1 win, when the team have been poor all season. Great support lads. Erm, Daniel Jones has started 21 games this season and come off the bench in 11 others (that's 32 appearances in total, maths fans). In comparison, Mark Reynolds has only started 8, with no sub appearances. I also find it quite ironic that you bemoan others for singling out individual players after an awful season from everyone, yet appear to write off players like Reynolds who has barely had a chance to show what he can do at SWFC so far.

happy bunny Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 far too often he looked lost, offered no outlet whatsoever performances like today from jones have been symptomatic of where we are in the league trouble is, he's not the only one we can't keep hoping players are going to come good we need consistency in every position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 That collision first half knocked him for 6, could see him hobbling about afterwards and especially when he was taken off. Would like to see him given another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
