NYCOWL Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We went on 2 shocking runs. I didn't want Jones sacked because I'm fed up of changing the manager, I thought he MIGHT be able to turn it around, but I was far from certain. I can understand why some wanted him gone. Just enjoy it FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dore Owl Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I wasn't happy with Jones at all, but I never once wanted him sacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eckington owl Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Why the smug I told you so stuff? We've had a terrible season and with an extra game played we sit in 20th, hardly living the good life. I find your post so flipping tiresome Lincowl. You really do find it hard to say anything positive, ever. We're in good form at the minute, pulling ourselves out of the mire as fast as we possibly can, or at least as fast as can be expected - and all you post about is where we are in the league, hoe poor our season has been etc. You really don't like Jones at all do you? It's clear for everyone to see you have some kind of childish agenda, almost like you can wait for us to slip up so you can pick your bat back up you've been beating the bloke with all season, and give him another thrashing. What will it take to see you post something positive? Win the league? The FA cup? Champions league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A Baracus Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I won't hide. I lost faith in Jones and posted on here to the effect that he should go. I'll hold my hands up. The preferable scenario in my eyes was always for him to turn it around and I'm glad he's done that, but I did lose hope during the second of our long losing streaks. At the end of the day the challenge for Jones was to prove people like me wrong and he's doing that in some style. He has made mistakes, but as a unit we are moving on from those and getting things right. That's something to be celebrated, and not something to be used to berate fellow supporters or cheaply point score. Well said Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubled123456 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 yep. Tbh Neil is the worst for it, starts numerous threads with the same meaning after every flippingvictory Neil couldn't start many threads earlier. Now he's crowing like an old auntie.

B.A Baracus Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Probably because us Jones backers had it rammed down our throats for months saying how rubbish he is and needs to go else we're going down. Should have listened to us to be patientI'm sure the majority of those that wanted him out had a lot better arguments than "he's rubbish, we're going down". I'm not quite sure how anyone, except Beholder, could have begrudged those who wanted him gone when we did look utterly clueless and had been on two horrific runs.It wasn't a question of being patient. It was up to Jones to get his arse in gear and find his best team, his best style and some better signings - fast. He's done that and full credit to him. Time to move on - not ram it down the throats that you were right and we were wrong. Edited January 26, 2013 by B.A Baracus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Plus - at the time folk wanted Jones gone - there was an actual genuine belief that Megson would spring through the door at Hillsborough and shout "Im back !!" Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDAZ Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 If Jones had been sacked we would be bottom of the league right now You're becoming very tiresome. Why the need to post utter nonsense like this, when... a) we'll never know what would have happened if Milan had sacked DJ or b) give a sh*t what would have happened because quite frankly it isn't relevant. All you're doing with these sorts of comments is fuelling the fire to start arguments between fans on here.

Owls2k Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) It wasn't understandable. It was petty, small minded and in some cases personal. If you manage any football team and lose 7 league matches in a row and don't expect some stick then you're pretty deluded. Add to that our previous run of 9 league games without a win. The fans during those 7 matches still turned up in ridiculously high numbers and supported the team when others would have turned their backs. The fact remains that Dave Jones has brought in some very average footballers. He has since smelt the coffee and adapted to a 'hard to beat' style which we are now reaping the rewards for, credit to him for that. He has never managed a club at the bottom end of the Championship, he is still learning. Edited January 26, 2013 by Owls2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Megson clan. It was everything Megson; good / everything Jones : bad. All the posters on here hoodwinked by the 'I took the players up the Kop steps and showed them the view' claptrap were particularly viscious about Jones.

Mr Farrell Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Come on then beholder and crew judge me. I wanted DJ to do well but questioned him when needed. I said we needed an experienced coach who had the testicles to tell DJ, "no i think your wrong there gaffer". Was i wrong? No i wasnt. We got Gray in and suprise we look like a team.thats worked together on the training ground and suddenly find a system that suits our players. I said that Bothroyd needed dropping as playing an unfit striker who hadnt earnt the shirt was wrong and bad for team morale. Was i wrong? No i wasnt. We have looked better without him. I said we shouldnt sit back in our own half at home especially and try to win games. Was i wrong? No i wasnt. We have started attacking teams home and away and look like we can win games. I said Taylor was a bad buy and didnt deserve to be made captain. Was i wrong? No i wasnt. We have yet to win a game with Taylor playing. I said Sidibe wouldnt be the answer to our goal scoring problems. Was i wrong? No i wasnt. Sidibe was never going to score the goals or be the attacking threat we required. I said all summer we needed pace up top. Was i wrong? No i wasnt. We look a different team with Antonio,JJ & Helan running at defenders giving us an outlet instead of hoofing it in the air and gifting the opposition possesion. These are just a few points and im not saying im always right and Jones was always wrong but fans have rightfully questioned the wisdom of many of his decisions and given credit when its due BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY HAVE STILL SUPPORTRD THE TEAM. So please dont try to pigeon hole me into some "worse supporter than you band" because that simply isnt the case. Well done the boys today. Good post. I'm backing DJ, but credit has got to go to Stu Jones for saving his bacon, after all those abysmal defeats. With regards to the attacks on anyone questioning DJ when we were on the losing runs, I blame Neil for starting the campaign. He's very anti anything that may upset the club or Gazza Madine, for some reason. A bit like that Rob Stayton is with Rotherham. He changed when he got that shiny blue bib.

There isn't a side of an argument that Fattybear hasn't taken, if it benefitted the site. Been amazed for years how he even remembers what he posted last.
