He seems to have lost his edge. Should he be rested?
I would have agreed for 2 thirds of last season, but I can’t agree with “causes all sorts of problems” on recent showings. Yes - he used to, but he doesn’t best the fullbacks with anything like the regularity he used to.His pace and trickery causes teams all sorts of problems. Jones will lose the ball sometimes but that happens when players are prepared to take a risk. We should be supporting the kid, he will create loads of chances for the strikers this season and is a key player for us in my opinion.
Teams are more aware of the threat he causes so are set up to make him less effective. Luckily for us this season we have Giles on the other side who is just as good at creating opportunities. Teams can't double up on both of them. He will get bags of assists this season.I would have agreed for 2 thirds of last season, but I can’t agree with “causes all sorts of problems” on recent showings.

He does get a lot of players booked. If only he didn’t go down far to easily sometimes. I think he would win more free kicks in dangerous areas if he wasn’t so eager to collapse under the slightest bit of contacti was at the game today, what was noticeable was jones is good and swansea tried to foul him a lot. hes a marked man now. they had 2 on him every time he got near the ball. when it was one on one they fouled him. he'll have his quiet games but hes still a cracking little player.
He clearly hasn’t looked as easy on the eye as he had done for a lot of last season . Hopefully the team as a whole will become more settled once the window shuts and everyone knows where their are .1 goal and 2 assists in 6 games suggests you don’t really know what you’re talking about.
Not sure dropping a player because they aren’t as easy on the eye is the way forward.He clearly hasn’t looked as easy on the eye as he had done for a lot of last season . Hopefully the team as a whole will become more settled once the window shuts and everyone knows where their are .
