That’s a shame, he’s a good player. Used wrong under previous managers there.

As @egg and I were saying. First half we was effectively playing as a wing back. Unfortunately, some are so blinded by their opinion of him, they wouldn’t see that and just brandished him as shit.

A player I wouldn’t mind us taking a look at, to see if we can pinch on loan or a reasonable deal, is Scott Mctominay. Would provide vital cover for Lavia in the deeper midfield role (not his best position though), but would be a real solid option in the “8” next to lavia. Would add physicality and ability to drive forward, which diallo doesn’t do consistently enough for me. Onana today absolutely bossed the midfield, especially in the first half, we need someone with a bit of physicality in there.

Okay, I’ll rephrase, he’s currently shit for this level. Nowhere near good enough. Lucky we didn’t concede a second from his pathetic attempt to come and collect the ball. Absolutely no better than McCarthy and significantly worse than Forster.

At fault or not, He’s still shit.

I was referring to the comment around the players having a word with him. But to be honest, I don’t think fans singing “your football is shit” would have gone completely unnoticed. In fact it wasn’t as he referred to it. 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other I suspect.

The players, especially JWP pushing Jones towards the fans at the end. Ive no doubt the squad are behind him. Like him or not, think he’s out of his depth or not, he’s taken criticism onboard and has changed. We’ve improved as a result. For that reason, I’m Jones in. I still don’t think he’s the man to keep us up, but I don’t know if anyone could to be honest. We make too many mistakes in both boxes.

Get the fuck in. Great result and gritty, dogged display. More of this please saints.

A draw is as bad as a loss at this point. a win here, other than the 3 points, will be huge for moral

Huge 10 mins here. Have we learned anything? Probably not, but we season defining 10 mins.

Yep. We’d be 2/3-1 if they had a league 1 keeper in the sticks.

Sorry but Bazanu is no where near the level required for a premier league team.

Given you’re so clearly itk on tactical instructions, I can’t wait for your details overview of how we’re going to set up next week 👍

Wolves won’t go down. I’m looking at Leeds, forest & Bournemouth results. I suspect along with us, will be the bottom 4 come end of season.

Yes, because Jones isn’t known for playing a back 5 is he. Absolutely never plays it….

Moi playing noticeably higher as well…. Almost like we said, he was playing as a WB first half

Great start, let’s stick it to them now

What a pointless comment. Unless you’re sat on the bench, no one knows what he’s been instructed to do.

You’re missing the point, from 15/20 mins in he hasn’t been playing as part of the 3. I’m sure a heat map, if anyone can obtain one, would show that.

He’s man marking Mykalenko who’s playing really high. agree to disagree, but I think We can probably all agree that we need to get our wingers higher up the pitch this half. As it happens I would bring him off for the Croatian lad, but I’d also hook Edozie and Adams whilst I’m at it

Agreed. Pretty even half where a mistake seem to cost us, as usual. We could, maybe should, be ahead based on the chances. Pickford been the busier of the 2 keepers.

Correct, but half way through the first half it changed. Coincidently our best chance came from when Moi was playing higher, with a deflected shot which on another day lands on Adams head. Blame Moi as much as you want, something has changed, he’s now playing a hybrid wing back role (not very well granted, but that’s not his position), but this is on the manager.

Moi being played out of position, this is more of a back 5 than 433, hes that deep. anyone watching could easily tell that.

He’s fucking shite, always has been. We’re a much better team when he’s not playing.

It’s bullshit, he’s not lazy and he clearly sprints, he wouldn’t be a premier league player if that was the case. He’s slow, but he’s not lazy. he’s a easy scapegoat, it’s boring.
