Jones still not good enough then….?

Jones hasn't pulled up any trees since Carrick arrived.

I'd be tempted to put him back in vs Watford but I do feel we need to sign a right winger this window.
 
Needs to be back in. Forss through the middle and crooks on bench.
I think we look a better attacking unit, or play more fluidly with Forss up top. I think Chuba is crowded out a bit more and has less time/space to link play with Crooks up top.

I think the team is screaming out for someone like him. Forss has done ok but I just don't see him as a wide player, he's not a natural winger. And neither is mcgree, I can never understand if he is on the wing or inside.

I think we also need to play 2 proper forwards, I think it's time for archer to get a start over crooks.
 
Keep the game in perspective. We had a bad day, the first in quite a while and MC will be onto it on the training ground tomorrow. There is little doubt however we would improve with a proper right sided midfielder/ winger. We don’t have that in the squad at the moment.
 
Jones may well have come on if we weren't wrongly down to 10 men.

He has plenty of postives, but he's not a prolific goalscorer.

It's no coincidence that we only brought on two forwards after replacing Fry.

The forwards aren’t going to score without service. Relying only on Giles for that just makes us look as one-dimensional as we were under Wilder when he relied on Jones.
 
If the answer to our problems (not sure what they are given just two difficult away defeats in 9 games) is Jones then we are in bigger trouble than I thought. He has been simply awful for some time now and added none of the things people seem to think his return will bring. We need a really strong right sided winger / midfielder and that’s not Jones.
 
I think Forss needs to be through the middle. He makes runs the midfield don't pick up because he is out wide. I think he's out there because Jones is out of form.

At the moment I don't think we have any other choice. But I would have Watmore or Archer up front on Saturday unless we magic another striker from somewhere. I'm assuming Muniz is gone or just not going to be picked and Hoppe will be away with USA.

Jones isn't the problem, having someone who can play that position naturally is. At the moment it's him or Forss.
