Joey47 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I was surprised he had us parking the bus. From what I heard about his time at other clubs I thought he was a very attacking coach. I remember reading an analysis about his 4-3-1-2 he played at Luton and what we appeared to play vs everton the first game he came in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey47 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I think that 4-3-1-2 suits us btw. Almiron as the 10 looked good in that game vs everton and wilson and st max seemed to played well as the split strikers. I also think hayden as the middle cm being able to drop back between the CBs suited him. I also think willock as a wide 8 in that formation would suit his style of play perfectly being able to make those late runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Like many others I don't really know if Jones is any good or not (his credible past experiences vs his involvement in the Bruce shitshow) but it's amazing how speaking in a calm and considered manner, not interrupting the interviewer every time they ask a question and not utilising too many tired, bullshit clichés can make me feel reasonably content that he's a safe-ish pair of hands for these few games. Plus, he's had them in every day! Edited October 25, 2021 by Pilko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 The fact training 5 days in a row is news worthy is an indictment in its own right. in real football clubs “days off” = rehab, gym work, tactical analysis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Jones clearly has something about him as a coach. As a manager, not so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Bloke had 3 days to prepare an unfit squad for a game against a team who are looking good. If nothing had changed nobody would have expected anything other than a convincing defeat. He did a decent job. We kept it at 0-0 for as long as our fitness allowed. And he made subs, that changed the game. We struggled towards the end but somehow managed to stay lucky [not the disallowed goal]. If we stay up by one point then it's this one.

Guest neesy111 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Yeah it was noticeably different we did attempt to defend as a team. He's clearly identified that as the biggest problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Fine with that too, although I'd consider Longstaff over Hayden because just don't think Hayden offers anything going foward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Longstaff just infuriates me, and is always a second behind play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I'd say we probably need to go man to man with Chelsea to prevent their full backs from running riot. If Lukaku is confirmed out, a lot of their threat will come from out wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hayden, Longstaff, Shelvey, Willock it doesn't really matter with our CM's. For a long time under various managers, not one of them sits and stays in front of the back 4 or 3 offering proper protection and cover. So often there's no one sitting in there, it does my absolute nut in how exposed our CB's always are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Taking in the U23 game with Simon Smith and (I think) Ben Dawson. Interesting that the other remnant Steves aren't there. Hopefully a sign they're on the way out when this new manager comes in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
