Jones

[Duffman]

Great game today - lots of quality from the Boro way stronger than an average Cardiff side. Elephant in the room for me is Jones. Second week introduced as sub and absolutely no impact or contribution. Get Carrick is trying to build his confidence but bottom line is he is awful and is wasting a place on the bench. Offers nothing other than a three yard pass backwards. Got to be better options in training than Jones?

You despise him don’t you

 

[Chris_Boro]

Yeah, really worried that that 15 minutes he was on the field for, he never had 2 assists and a goal.

He spent most of his time at right back defending, which probably what he was brought on to do.

Look forward to OP doing these posts when Hackney has a difficult patch.

Young player in having dip in form shocker.

 

[TeaCider]

Showing your self up here.

Been bitching about him constantly for months, did absolutely nothing wrong today.

 

[Oooo]

He has enormous potential, going through a sticky patch atm but I am sure he will be a big player in the future

 

[Zoophonic]

Could disagree more with the opening post. Last week I thought when he came on he looked lively and definitely freshened things up.

 

[Oooo]

Surely you measn "Could'nt " - dont go all American

Take your whinging elsewhere you big dafty.

There’s no denying that Jones is nowhere near the player he was last year and to have your place taken by a non specialized winger in Forss must be doubly hard to take.

Today he just looked very much like he is finding himself back where he was when we loaned him out. Some players respond positively to being benched but it’s clear that he’s perhaps thinking the opposite?

I think we all want a 2021-22 Isiah Jones but when he was flying all over the pitch for Wilder many of us suggested it might have been a flash on the pan. Let’s hope Akpom doesn’t follow in the same way!

He's a class player low on confidence, every player goes through it. He will come back to his best, just needs a bit of time. No-one was slagging him off when he was playing at his best. Stick with the lad

Carrick said in the pre-match press conference that he had responded well to being left out, in fact he was very positive about him.

I find it amazing that every week people find a 'negative'. I mean we could win 5-0 and someone would post or phone in on the radio and moan.

He's low on confidence. So I'm sure posts like this will 'help'. You'd be mad to think they don't come on here. I imagine may even post using weird user names.

He's not the Jones of last season. I'd argue if he was he wouldn't be with us. Definitely has a part to play as we ain't stacked with RWB or RW cover.

 

[Mendieta14]

young lad with a boat load of potential - get off his back or we'll end up with someone else profiting from boro's hardwork finding him

 

[Wiseman_Vaughn]

when he burst on the scene, he was unknown and a surprisingly skilful and fast talent. Everybody knows him now and knows what to expect from him.

He's a victim of his own success - but this is just part of his development. He now needs to find new ways to have the same impact - I have every confidence that he'll find his way and pick up where he left off

 

[Colin Warnek]

Sod off back to Readytogo.

 

[Duffman]

Time will tell - majority seem to think he will be playing top four premier league - I say St Mirren - as I say time will tell

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

Put him self about but struggled to make an impact at a time we were struggling to cope with a team fighting for their survival… didn’t do anything wrong but did get a bloodied nod for his efforts to keep us ahead… I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt and still think there is a good player in there…

 

[Hap]

He will definitely come good. Young players feed on confidence. It's not there right now. He needs time. There's a player there .

Oh get what you are saying, he looked like someone from the crowd had won a prize for a cameo appearance. His confidence has plummeted but also we have to stop pretending that two months where he did really well last year is the norm, what we are seeing may be the norm, and that two months was anomaly. At the moment he doesn’t deserve to be in the starting XI and maybe you are right not on the bench. If Ramsay and Muniz were fit then, yes it’s hard to argue with that
