Jones

According to the EG report, he made a strong case tonight to be Djed Spence's replacement.
And Tav is a winger apparently.

im surprised no one has come in for him. He is a bit special

 

[Caesium137]

He looked a yard (or even two) quicker than he was for the second half of last season, when he seemed quite out of sorts. Maybe some specialist fitness / conditioning / sprint coaching?

I seem to recall talk of him carrying a back injury, or after effects of Covid or maybe just fatigue after his first full season in competitive football at a high level, so he's maybe just overcome whatever was holding him back?

But he definitely seemed back to his best, let us all hope we see more of these types of performances for the rest of the season.

He was signalling after scoring it was about time he scored again.

It was a long season last year for him - his first.

 

[Frozen Horse]

I think he suffered at the end of last season through Crooks' frequent absences: they do seem to have a natural chemistry.

Plus, he was a young player at the end of his first real season: some erratic form is expected.

Took his goal well, but I'd be cursing the defender if he was one of ours

So definitely our possible replacement for Spence then?

 

[S7DiscoDown]

He definitely missed Crooks at times last season. They had a great link up. Also no doubt some fatigue as he never got rested or rotated.

Also he was an unknown quantity for most of the season. I hate the term 'got worked out' yet clearly teams do research. I think they cut off the supply line to him or doubled up.

We were so lob sided it was basically stop him and you stop us. Hopefully Giles gives us more balance. Jones had 9 assists last season and Giles 7.

That's stunning if they can repeat it

Massive season ahead for him, if he pushes on he could be an England international. Enjoy him while we have him. Looking forward to seeing him play.

I'd like to see the 2 'forced own goals' repeated!

Here's one of them "Wilderball goal"
Adomah. Goal of the season in my opinion

As someone mentions later down this thread he does force mistakes out of defenders.
