    If we stay up, should we still get rid and aim higher? Or at least aim for something resembling a style to our football?
    We all know you dislike him but I would warn you - there were Luton fans just like you two or three years ago.
    didn't he walk out of them in 10th position and they got promoted to the Prem ?? yes subsequently a double relegation

    Imagine if the football he served up was as good as his pathetic hissy fits or his touchline antics for the cameras, we would be quite exciting to watch.
    He's back!

    The footballs dire but the aim this year is survival by any means. 

    We've negated our attacking game to achieve this.

    The concept Jones is stuck rigid with formation is wrong. We started the season with a flat back 4 but the injury to Edwards forced our hand.

    As the season wore on its quite clear that despite our defence being our strongest asset it is only because we sacrifice the attacking game to make it so. We don't have 2 centre backs that could play as a pair without getting exposed.

    That coupled with 2 defensive midfielders effectively means we have 7 defensive minded players out there. I'm sure he would like to free the shackles but as we have seen when we revert to a back 4 like Millwall (Last 30) we get exposed for our defensive frailties.

    This season has and will remain about grinding out enough to have another revamp next season should we get over the line Jones knows where the issues lay.

    Was the football pretty in league 1 ? 
    It was effective. We won a lot of games. Got promoted. Ask teams like Bolton and Barnsley where pretty football in league one gets you. Not sure when we became such snobs! 

    Did you enjoy us trying to play out under Ben Garner? With Ryan Inniss picking the ball up in the penalty box? 
    My point is its exactly the same football, nothing will change next year as its the same as last year.

    I think there’s a big difference between the football we were playing at the end of last season vs start of last season vs now. Maybe not in the play offs itself but the second half of the season I can’t remember any comments about how we were playing. I’m sure the aim is to get to that in the championship but it’s not something that is going to happen overnight 

    Personally I couldn’t care less how we play, as long as it’s successful and so far it has been
