fezman Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Unlike a lot on here - i will reserve judgement on Mike Jones. He has played around 120 minutes for us, with two teams who parked the bus! Hardly a fair chance for the bloke. I reckon away from home he will play well as teams open up more. Also when he is settled, he will attack more at home and perhaps we will then see the best of him Oh and FFS how did he miss that sitter today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaser Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 No he didn't play and neither did Chris Lines. Chris Lines hasn't played for a couple of weeks neither.... been sat in the stands next to me apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlswfc Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 He was dog s*it just like last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 he looks a nothing kind of player. Barely noticeable. Then again he has had glowing reviews off alot of people - fans and players alike so there must be something more to him than what he is showing.

edinburghowl Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Early days yet and he may well get better but he looked like a rabbit caught in headlights. He should have been subbed at half time. Off the pace, missed glorious chances, added no width on the left hand side. He didn't really contribute anything. He shouldn't start against Sflaphorpe.

viva hate Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Wasn't that great but no need to get on his back, give the lad some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bury FC Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 In the short time i've seen him i have been less than impressed. 2 games and he has yet to put a cross in!! Having said that he's been here only a week and moving from Bury to Wednesday must be like moving from England to Mars. Just remind us - what was the score at Gigg Lane earlier this season?

edinburghowl Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just remind us - what was the score at Gigg Lane earlier this season? In fairness there's a big difference between playing in front of 3,000 at Bury and 26,000 at Hillsborough like last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bury FC Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Mike Jones is a good player and I was sad to see him leave Bury. He is not a traditional winge/wide man though and if you are expecting a player running at full backs and getting crosses in from the line you are going to be dissappointed. He fitted into the system at Bury as we was sort of link player and would more often want to cut inside and feed the forwards and go for a return pass on the edge of the box. I suppose a lot will depend on how Megson decides to use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandwhitematt Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 No one can argue he was been rubbish in his first two games. However I'm not in the habit of writing off a new player after two games. People are spot on saying he looks lost and like a rabbit in headlights - that is completely it. The fact he has missed a couple of good chances for us already (one last week he shanked, and THAT today) can't be doing him any good. However, I would persevere, especially these next couple of games. Sflaphorpe is a nice small ground, similar sort of setting to Bury, and it may relax him a bit and take the pressure off him. Similarly, Blackpool's ground isn't overpowering either, so this will give him a couple of games to just calm down, take a deep breath, and relax into the team. In glimpses last week he looked decent, and the reviews he has had from the Bury fans tells us he isn't a bad player. He just needs to get used to Hillsborough and his new team-mates. Which is nowhere near ideal for us, we need immediate impacts, but we may as well stick with him for the reasons stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bury FC Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 it wer 2 1 to you and we had a perfectly good goal disallowed at 2 1 but whats that got to do with the price er fish? jones is doing bobbins at the moment but thanks for askin Its got to do with the desparaging remarks about playing for Bury and SWFC being like the difference between England and Mars,we are actually in the same league. Sorry that Jones isnt doing much at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dont be a idiot like some of the recent fans we have had on. Thats why some are acting the way they are. My honest opinion on Jones is that we havent seen him yet. He has been one of those players who you dont realise is playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'd definitely play him at Sflaphorpe then. Its not easy going from playing at Gigg Lane to Hillsborough with all the pressure that comes with it. Hopefully he'll adapt soon.
