BarnsleyOwl96 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Is it time these were brought back ? I know they haven’t been good for us over the majority but some experience would help! Jones surely could do a better job than joey at defensive midfield for a derby game 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlin' Wolf Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Funny how all these universally slated players are suddenly the answer. Jones and Boyd would have made zero difference yesterday. Have hardly seen one positive comment from anyone about either of them previously but now they’re not getting picked some folk want them back?

pazowl55 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Should be at least options for the bench. Can't have five u23 players on the bench for a derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_owl Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I thought Jones did ok last season at the sty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Haven't seen much from either of them in a Wednesday shirt, so I hardly think they're the answer to all our woes. It's the way we've just excluded players that shocks me though. CC did the same (but different players), and now Jos is at it too. It's weird.

S72 Owl Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Funnily enough Jones put his best performances in for us when Jos first came in. Then was out of favour all of a sudden. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you nailed it re the bench. Neither player should be anywhere near starting, but the lack of depth on our bench leaves us powerless to change a game by introducing fresh legs. Not a fan of either Boyd or Jones, but there are less effective players in our current match day squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then JL insisted on playing 'his man' Pelupessy and yet 9 months later though I think there's been an average improvement in his performances it's not obvious that Jones couldn't have been doing the same job - if nothing else, he'd have had the nous to bring Barnes down when he went half the length of the pitch to score a few weeks back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Yes they should at least be on the bench. The fact they have been completely frozen out along with Westwood and Hutchinson is such a naive decision from Jos/DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I'd take Jones over Joey but then I'd take Semedo over Joey. Actually, I'd take Joey from Friends over Joey. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robowl4life Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Jones is better than Joey... wouldn’t be good enough these days in a promotion chasing side but we ain’t that any more. He’s got the ability and experience in midfield that were crying out for st the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 They’re not the answer, but as someone said already. Jones was actually doing ok. Cant see any huge difference between him and Pelupessy tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Jones isn't even that bad. He won't come in and turn things around but the treatment of him has been poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgmetcalf Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Not for me. The problem is the defence, not midfield or attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I wanted Boyd to work out here sooooo much, and kept arguing that he eventually might do, 'cos I really rate his workrate and thought he was excellent for Burnley - but he was almost universally terrible here. And he had chances galore, even factoring in the injury. There are a lot of 'wtf?!' moments re: team selection since Jos came in, but I don't think we can argue Boyd is one of them. Seemed like Jos wanted to pick him early on, but he effectively played himself out of the team over the space of about three months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Jones played in a team of kids against Wolves in the cup and touched the ball more than Joey has all season. Trouble is Jos has now created the problem where none of the missing players are match fit and would be lucky to last 60 minutes in a derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not his biggest fan but the way he’s been treated (with the lack of quality we have in midfield) is strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
