Jones' time is running out IMO, you can't hide behind "we've made a mistake and it's cost us" forever
Players will always make mistakes anyway. It’s never about making zero mistakes. It’s about minimizing them and being far enough in front when they happen that they aren’t costly. You have to do much more to win football matches than just defend well and work hard.
Dog shit all round. Spending in the next window needs to be strong. As I have said before, why own it as multi billionaires (1000 million per billion) if not prepared to spend the wedge and enjoy the ride. Can't take it with you.

Need a bit more quality up front
Disagree, it’s not really the issue. We play so little football, lack flair, pace and creativity, the strikers barely get in the game and then have to take the one chance they get.
To me a footballer is some one who has the ability to control the ball,pass to your own player, take on a player and beat him. None of these players out there today can do that.
We're going backwards with every appointment because we expect instant results each bloody time
He has been the manager since February/March, had a whole summer transfer window and we are no better than last season. I could take not being top 6 if the football was at least exciting and there were some tangible improvements from last season we could point to, but it isn’t and there aren’t any.

By the time the window opens, there will be no point in spending as we'll be too far adrift. If the window was open now... maybe.

Don’t you think changing manager three times a season is why we are where we are?
we can’t keep giving managers 1 window and expect to be champions.
today wasn’t great but what would be the point in sacking jones. Who would you go for?
what happened to giving managers more time. 35 games and one window is not long enough to judge a manager
I don’t want to spend another penny backing a manager who thinks playing four defensive central midfielders and a zero width from full back is the way to get promoted.

I get your point, and I do believe in giving managers time, ideally. But right now, we’re not seeing any real progress or improvement under Jones. It’s not just a matter of one or two bad games—it’s the same issues cropping up again and again, with us barely creating chances and looking shaky after even the softest of goals against.
In a perfect world, I’d want to give him more time to build, but at some point, we have to look at whether he's genuinely making us better or if we're just hoping it’ll all click someday. I don’t want to see us constantly switching managers, but if things don’t start looking up, I’m not sure what other options we have.

But what's the point in sticking with a manager because he "hasn't had enough time" when he's shaped the whole squad to be this negative at all times? Every game we create very little, and at the start of the season that was ok when we didn't concede, but now we create very little and have only kept 1 clean sheet in 8 games (ironically against the league leaders) and he cannot keep giving excuses when he's in charge
Football is an entertainment business if you are going to set up to be drab, boring and difficult to beat you had better win more games than you lose or draw ! If this carries on I can see a new manager coming in before Xmas
So many times the balls played in literally the most boring and non threatening area/direction…painful to watch. Fair play to the fans who went to Devon.
i don’t want to believe that NJ is happy with these performances, and I do believe the players need to be doing a hell of a lot better before there is any consequence for NJ…

You already know the post match interview
We are not doing the basics right, mistakes are costing us. It has been the same fucking thing for the past 8 games.
It is like a broken record. No doubt he will also say he was pleased with how we played at times. Which is utter rubbish. We created very little all game.
So disappointing. Missed good scoring opportunities. Poor team performance. Needed 3 points from today but no where near it. Next game v Peterborough who scored 6 today! Going nowhere fast.
January is the worst window to be needing major reinforcements. Even if the owners got the chequebook out I wouldn't trust Scott and Jones to sign the right players to remedy this situation.

Do you want my bank details for the money transfer?
Maybe 5.

That was a pre-season type of performance.
