dani_armo Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Dont wanna slag the lad off when hes just come into a bad situation in a foreign country etc...but surely people cannot think hes played well in ANY game yet? Boro away I would maybe say he was steady. Im struggling to see what he is supposed to be - A defensive midfielder? Hes about as strong as petter rudi and has pulled out of more tackles than even Reach has! An attacking midfielder? Erm... A ball player? Erm...i dont think hes played a ball further than about 10 yards. I hope im wrong but at the moment the games just passing him by...I honestly expected him to be a strong little rascal who was all over putting 100% in and throwing himself into tackles - in fact is there anyone like that in the under 23s cus we are crying out for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonedavidhirst Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I really can’t see what he adds to the team. I didn’t think I’d say this, but I’d much prefer Jones in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendaryswan Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 He wasnt good today......... In all honesty hes no different to what weve already got,and hes no upgrade either. Not sure how,when all are fit,what his role will be or if hes just struggling with the rigours of championship football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 We have 3 fit CMs. Jones Joey Butters Personally I like Jones. With everyone fit he would be in my midfield 3 alongside Bannan and Lee, and in a midfield 2 he would be my third choice. But I think Butters has lost whatever he had a few seasons ago, and Joey looks nowhere near this level yet. He has time though, and will look better alongside better players.

Rebowl Yell Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 FFS stop crucifying the man, he’s just moved country and teams and climates and time zones and languages and football grounds he needs about 3 or 4 years to settle in before we can judge anything at all about him. What a joke you all are anyway I thought he played well today 7/10 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could not have come in at a worse time with all players missing. There were ten other players out there that were equally poor. A new record for Owlstalk, scapegoat after 2 matches That's not the Wednesday way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack-Abusi Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Wrong time for Pullapussy to come in to the club ... needs to get up to speed with the english game and we can't afford that right now with the difficulties we have. Better players around him he'd be alright .. but i thought he was anonymous against Birmingham .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Dave Jones has been a figure of ridicule and criticism for a large section of the fans this season (not from me, by the way). Well, we've manage to bring in a player not fit to lace Jones' boots. I'm writing the kid off at all, but, based on performances so far, he's got A LOT of improving to do. I genuinely do not know what his strengths are. If anybody does, please feel free to let me know. He's absolutely awful on the ball. Dwells on it too long, gets caught in possession, little awareness of who or what is around him. He's not a passer. Doesn't attempt probing balls or long range passes. Very negative in his passing...either backwards or sideways. He doesn't look like he's a tackler. I've yet to see him put in a tackle where I've thought he's really meant that, like you do when Hutchinson goes in for one. And he doesn't get about like a Kieran Lee does. Doesn't press or harry particularly well, and is hardly a box to box player. He's going to get plenty of games this season to improve...but based upon his first 3 or 4 appearances...he needs to shape up, and quickly. We cannot afford to be carrying players in our current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little hasty with the scapegoat part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we need another one on here ffs. Not a fan blamer, just cannot understand the level of criticism for a guy who has played 2 games.

prowl Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 He's breathing, he's got 2 legs that work, that's enough to get him a start at present. Give him time, in 6 months he'll be a different class. A lot of posters wanted younger players with potential, he fits the bill, now all we need to do is give him a bit of support.

modboy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 What happens when you buy from overseas. Should have signed players upto speed instead. Hopefully be ok next season though and not another Melo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot afford to be carrying players in our current situation. If Pelupessy is to make it with us in this league, the crazy number of injuries we're having will be the only reason for it as daft as it sounds. There's no way he'd be given the run he'll probably get otherwise. Having said that, Jones had two very good games for us under Jos against United and Cardiff and was perhaps unfairly dropped for Pelupessy anyway, so even if the injury situations remains as it is, there'd already an argument that Jones should be playing in his place.

Swiss Toni Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'm really not sure what anyone was truly expecting from the signing of Pelupessy. He's probably a bench player when we have a fully fit squad. Only problem is, he's joined during an injury crisis and poor run of form. Not only has he got to acclimatise to a new club and country but he's straight in at the deep end. He's a deep midfielder so isn't going to light up too many games in truth. People are only focussing on him because he's new and he's not standing out any differently to anyone else on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
