buzz Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Wtf we are now blaming Jones this is all down to two men Bruce and Ashley that's it A diamond formation is not going to work in every game and especially not with the current personnel - if anything it was actively costly today. When jones came in there was a move towards pressing but that has died away too lately. Maybe that's more of a fitness thing though if training is really only one or two days a week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I think Jones helped initiate the change in formation - it can't be a coincidence it was literally the next game. I doubt he picks the team now though, Bruce is so arrogant that can imagine he'll make the final decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 This system doesn't work with the players available. If Jones is having a big say on tactics, he is very limited in his capacity to adapt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 We’ve still had 44 shots at goal the last 3 games which seems a fair number for us and the personnel. Can’t remember too many occasions where we’ve looked under the cosh in those 3 games. Must be doing something right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Again apologies for asking (but I don't watch the games anymore) did he seem to have any say so on the team/formation/tactics from the sidelines last night or was he ushered into the stands? Hypothetically speaking, mainly because it won't happen, would anyone still be happy for him to take over the final games if Bruce was sacked or would that not be the answer? As I said on the Bruce thread I think we are down regardless but others might still think differently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 He is a no mark like the rest of them. He was never or will ever be the answer or saviour. People are just that desperate to see an end to Bruce, they have pinned all their hopes on a failed Luton manager/championship coach to somehow save it all.

Optimistic Nut Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 He’s been more than a ‘Championship coach’ though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 His philosophy seems totally at odds with Bruce, if he was ever going to be manager then we should have got Bruce out of the door as soon as Jones walked in. He might be a decent coach long term, but he's not what was needed in a relegation scrap. Whatever he's doing it's not working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 He’s been more than a ‘Championship coach’ though. He might have been, but it is where we plucked him from on the cheap (we know it’s cheap because we brought him in) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 It was the cheap way of attempting a new manager bounce, wasn't it? Paid Bournemouth a nominal fee and didn't have to give Bruce £4m compo. As you say, glad it didn't work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 how can you play split strikers, without having any strikers in the team to split??????? Even if you don't rate Joelinton in the role, he's got two other strikers fit and available in Gayle and Carroll. He could always try splitting them.

jackyboy Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Jones said when he came that he would advise on formation etc but it would be up to Bruce if he wanted to take the advice /ideas. Maybe the ideas would work if carried out to the letter. Perfect example is Shelvey and Hendricks, if you wanted to play a high press where lots of mobility is required then they should be giving out the oranges at halftime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 so who's idea is it not to play with any strikers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Bruce is evil enough to do all he can to stop Jones being seen as successful. Team selection is Bruce's as are the subs, like Andy Carroll coming in for 60 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
