    "Onel's been injured for the last four, five weeks," Jones said. "It's meant that his opportunities have been curtailed, but the lads love him. The lads loved Jérôme, he was a popular figure - it's just he hadn't played football so to put him into a Championship game was unfair and would've stretched us. Trust me, we wanted to do it because it was a position that we just couldn't fill.

    "Onel started really well and then just picked up an injury because, again, when you take a free agent he hadn't played, he hadn't trained at the intensity that we do and so on. He was unfortunate with that. We wish both Onel and Jérôme all the best for the future."


    - why sign either of them?!

    Wouldn’t be fair on Onel, I think we all know what that means.

    Onel did provide cover at LWB and on the right at times and looked like he had decent athleticism and work rate, he's just not a wingback and it showed. But it meant we could keep playing TC up front. Rousillon was clearly desperation, but we were desperate, and he was just miles off it. As Cawley has said, I highly doubt either are on particularly big money, so it's not a huge loss one way or the other. I'd rather the club try something than do nothing. At least with Hernandez it worked for a bit until he had his handball moment.

    Thought I’d stumbled into a John Le Carre spy film with all this talk of “assets”

    Very disappointing interview. He didn't mention "front footed" or "best versions of ourselves", not even once!

    NJ for all his antics on the touchline, appears quite relaxed in interviews recently.
    I think he is confident in his and the players' ability to steer us away from the relegation zone.
