Holmowl Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Do we want Carlos to put Hutch back in as soon as he is fit? Food for thought.... Bannan & Jones - 5 wins and 2 draws in their past 7 partnerships. Hutch in CM - 3 wins, 3 defeats and a draw in his past 7. For me, Bannan and Jones look like more of a partnership. Hutch and Bannan are two excellent footballers who don't really gel as a pairing. Jones may lack glamour, but you can't argue that this pairing doesn't work.

Freshfish Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 ...we also have Lee eventually...oh the mouthwatering options we have ... no change for me unless the opposites tactics suggest a change may be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Jones has taken dogs abuse, but given a run of games I think he will settle and show some of his qualities , making it hard for Hutch to get back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticOwl Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hutch in defense for me. He gets less i juries there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frastheowl Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 It's our best two man midfield partnership, while Lee is out injured. But I'd be using the rest of the window is to try and bring in a better option to Jones. He's a good player with valuable experience, but a little immobile. Bring in someone who can keep things neat and tidy, but also be more combative and defensively disciplined. I've mentioned it another thread, but Bridcutt would be perfect. Modern midfielder who can play in a two, a three or a four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Jones should start every match. I keep saying it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's more to the results than the players you mention. But what I will say is that Jones looked much more confident than ever before today. A dummy here, a shimmy there, brave passing...looks like the player we thought we'd signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Would like to see Lee and Hutchinson centre with Bannan on the left. Reach left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I know I'd rather play a fully fit Jones over a Hutch that's carrying any knocks / niggles etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshTheOwl Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I don't like it, and would prefer someone in to replace Jones who offers a bit more going forward. BUT results don't lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started playing again as a pair v Rotherham and have played 7 since. But just for you (I am interested to see it too) I will look back further. Back soon! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamK2292 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Not spectacular showings in the last 2 games but consistent. Does the dirty work and keeps it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't put any result or set of results down to one player or one partnership. But I think a run of seven successful matches with the same midfield pairing is noteworthy.

Wath-owl Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Jones' record at this level speaks for itself. Very valuable member of our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulcinella Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 If Hutch were in defence, with Lees, Loovens, the new guy Venancio(?) and Pudil, that's quite a decent CB line up. Methinks it's LB we should be looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moffatowl Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 What about his goal v Sunderland, must have done wonders for his confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I think we saw today the qualities that Jones has and Boyd has too. There's a reason these two lads have multiple promotions to the Premier League on their CV in the sense that they help their respective teams to results like todays, results that go a long way to getting you promoted.
