The Jones boys - RedPassion.co.uk

Well 12 matches in and its beginning to look like these signings have not reflected well on Parkinsons judgment and arguably been a key factor for this poor start.

Dave Jones
I didnt go pre season but I assume he impressed? Barely been seen and largely dissapointed when we have. If he is a midfield coach, I cant say Ive seeen much evidence of effective coaching judging by performances. Do we need a midfield coach ? Parkinson was a competent midfielder after all. Struggling to see the point inbthis signing and would have preferred to keep Jay Harris as an older head

James Jones

3 year contract, its unclear if we payed a fee.
45 appearences for Lincoln last season 185 appearences for Crewe
Read this thread on his signing- glowing reports all round

Signing - James Jones (another 3 year deal!)

Is the gulf in standard between league 1 and National league not that big ?

Compare this lad yesterday to Connor L Evans , miles apart
Just v disappointing, are we not getting the best from him ?

James Jones was a free transfer.

Dave Jones is finished, a pointless signing.

I quite like JJ, he's definitely a footballer. Is he currently out of form or being stifled by Parkyball, or maybe a bit of both? Either way, I think he'll come good when the stars align.

Dave Jones is player-coach, so hopefully he's more coach than player at this point.

James Jones I get the feeling he's uninterested, although it may just be the tactics. There's definitely some ability in there, but I always feel there's just one or two things that need to change to get him to show it.

Sounds happy enough in that interview

I get the feeling he just isn’t that good tbh

All this James jones hating is great - but he performed better than the coedy assassin yesterday, again.

I understand why Jordan makes the team. He does have quality in short bursts, but he has to do the basics better. He doesn’t look comfortable when the ball arrives at his feet if pressured by the opposition. Always wants an extra touch or rushes a pass.

It's not ' hating ' it's more bemusement

I'm sure he is thoroughly disappointed himself struggling to nail a place in a midtable team 2 divisions lower

It's a funny old game
