    Wonder if we'll see Ramsay on the bench, especially with the option of having nine subs

    It is probably too early for that.

    Looks like they've has to schlepp back from Preston, but now have to schlepp back up North, I wonder if they will stay up north after Rotherham.
    In terms of those who travel, although not named, I noticed Kai Enslin amongst our players up at Preston, and what with Mannion, Ahadme, Anderson and Zach Mitchell being utilised I think Tuesday might have been a bit of extra research for Jones as much as anything else.

    "Gass, ironically, had Tyreece [Campbell] step on him during the warm-up away at Preston and then after the game his foot blew up..."

    Now that is a bad injury, I hope they were able to piece the fragments back together.

    “We're so close to being a good side"

    Pull the other one fs. A good side doesn't ping diagonal long balls all game
    One loss in 8 since Jones said this. Four wins in our last 6. Maybe he was right.

    He's actually full of shit. 

    Says we are the best pressing team, there is no evidence of this. The table doesn't say so, the stats don't say so, our goals conceded don't say so. It's pretty much just a lie.

    He also said at the end we aren't as bad as last season. Well, I've got some news Jones mate, we are. Actually, we are worse off.



    Even if he meant from when he took over, that would be incomparable due to the games played, and if anything, makes his argument worse as he had preparation time to improve on this. 

    We are worse off in literally every aspect of the table. 

    In 23/24 by this stage we had scored 30 and conceded 25, and had a 5 goal difference. 

    This season we have scored 18 and conceded 19 and have a -1 G/D. 12 less goals scored, huge amount, and 6 goals less conceded.

    Absolute waffler. 
    We are now seven points better off (30 -> 37) than we were after 25 games played compared to last season, an increase of 23%.

    Our goal difference has improved YoY from -2 to +5. We have conceded 13 fewer goals and kept 7 additional clean sheets.

    We're now on 43pts and a 25-30% chance of making the play-offs. That's an infinite increase over 0% this time last season as opposed to dealing with an outside chance of relegation 😀

    I've taken a disliking to the Tangerine Tarts after their stretcher-filled display at The Valley. To quote Kevin Keegan, I would love it we beat them.

    I think he's saying Ahadme is injury prone

    I criticise him for some of his outlandish statements, but I think that on balance his assessment of the window is pretty reasonable. Up to him now to deliver 5th place, in line with the budget. 
  • He’s sounding very bullish. Hope some of that confidence filters down into the team.

    And the fans!
  • He did state that they were looking for a wide attacking player that they didn't get over the line. he appeared a bit upset by this

    This is true - post above was from before the Blackpool game where he added another to his tally

    Well we are both proper, so that's good!  As opposed to not proper.
