  • Too early but Jones needs to make serious adjustments. 

    His plan A has been found out and has failed. He needs to change it up. 
    Diamond it is maybe? 
  • Didn't look like he's lost the dressing room to me :)
    Why is that always the go to response when a team is playing badly.

    Good thread this, outstanding foresight 
    It replaced the countdown to promotion one I think

    Dunno but it's so annoying

    I really thought that was one of the favourite explanations for some recent performances. Very glad not to be thinking this anymore.

    well at least he made changes today, and good ones too! Glad I made the decision to go - woo-hoo!

  • Feeling a bit silly today Nicholas?
  • Same interview but quoted by Cawley


    I mean fair play to him for changing the system and style today which I didn’t think he would do…

    but also… he criticises fans for telling him X, Y and Z… and guess what, the changes that some have been calling for for ages even since we were doing well eg 4 at the back, 👋 Ahadme are the ones that bring a result… 

    If anything today shows how bad his management has been cos the same players who produced a performance like today also produced one of our all time worst performances on Tuesday night… 

    I think rather than wank yourself off after 1 result off the back of 3 shocking performances, turn around and go I’m still learning every day and learning my players and systems ill make mistakes along the way but thankfully I think we got it right today 


    Even when you’re wrong you’re right it seems…

    The four midfielders plan worked perfectly to nullify their central threat from Paik and Iwata - I don’t think we would’ve gone to four at the back today otherwise.

    Want our manager and players to feel good about winning. And not in a - "In your face, fans" kind of way. A lot of that is down to be atmosphere we create. 

    Last season I really thought we were going down. Many of us did, we were absolutely hopeless. NJ came in and turned it around and in an assured way. He surely massively in credit and deserves a touch more patience from all of us, me included.
    And people wonder why our ex players were queuing up to congratulate Morgan on scoring

    Is that directed at me or jones?
  • Not many teams can afford 3 game losing runs and still get promoted… anything less is failure when you’re in league one… you’d have to be deluded not to shit the bed after that trio of performances - unfortunately Jones had been consistently failing to address the issues which were clear to most for majority of the season - poor management 

    to his credit, he made substantial changes today which I didn’t think he would and managed today IMPECCABLY - good management 👏 

    we shall see if we can keep delivering against other sides and take this forward

     Not at all he stopped playing his shit 5-3-2 and we got a result. Much better 
  • Jones’s rant at in todays press conference is not of a man who’s well with the world 

    A well earned win against a top of the table team today and he then goes off on one about Tuesday night and then the abuse he took after that game 

    1. Enjoy today and look forward 

    2. In future don’t go over to the hardcore 500 plus that go week in, week out and expect  then to kiss your arse. Bad results happen from time to time. Accept it and walk off



  • Any abuse is out of order, but constructive criticism was totally warranted, and today's performance just proved that a change of formation was essential.
    No one wanted him gone, people just wanted to start seeing some decent football and some creativity. 
    Full credit to Jones for taking the criticism onboard and acting upon it.
    Would he have changed things without all the criticism? Who knows!
    But the fans may well have forced his hand and done him a favour.


  • So can we just confirm once again that booooing helps

    Disagree. I think if you get stick you are entitled to give it back.  Shows he's got a backbone and a temper.  I don't want our manager to be our friend....I want him to have an edge and be able to inspire that edge and competitiveness into our players.

    Today was an excellent response in the performance to well deserved criticism and as fans if we give pelters then players and managers are entitled to give it back and they should be allowed to. 

    He's an emotional, heart on your sleeve type and i prefer that in a drab media trained world of modern football.

    Jones was rightly criticised for some inexplicable results and so were the players and if fans have given it it's only right he can give a bit back after a barnstorming response in which he's feeling vindicated in the moment.  

    We (royal we fanbase) can't scream blue murder and scream **** at someone from ten feet away and then get upset when a jab is returned via the press after win.

    We're all on the same side.  We'll get behind him and the team and they deliver results that warrants the support.  That's the deal. All the rest is just pantomime. 
     Oh no it isn't.
