A pity about a couple of our yellow cards as it seems that they might have been for kicking the ball away after a foul.Just look at the narrative around Appleton after a few matches (finally we’ve got a proper manager etc.).It’s far too early to make any real assessment of NJ.8 -

Our system requires effective wing backs. Small scored one and was heavily involved in another. Ramsey looked promising in the week. Maybe we have found the effective wing backs to help make it work. They certainly are not Edun or Watson IMO.3

I only saw the first half on the stream, but that was a very different performance than I’d seen for months. They actually looked like a team.Still defensively frail as a team - still see players switching off. Their first goal was off the second of two throw ins - on the first, Watson turned his back on the players and was ambling back towards our box, while they took it quickly.When the notification popped up they had equalized so early in the second half, I was sure we’d lose it. Getting a point was a bonus in my opinion, and if we only get a point from the next two, I’ll be pretty happy as long as the performances keep improving. That should set us up with a decent chance on the run in.2

I tend to agree that we need a little bit of realism without dulling the more positive feeling amongst the fanbase.
There is a lot to like about Jones - but as others have said we haven’t won a game yet under him. That’s not knocking him - but in terms of results (which is what will directly impact whether we stay up or not) that’s the data sample we have.
The performances are a bit better - but to now declare that we safe / staying up just doesn’t make any sense really.
We win on Saturday then we start to get evidence that suggests we could stay up. We haven’t had that yet.
It’s not negativity- it’s just going on the facts in front of us.9 -

No need for that. He’s a just a doom-embracing miserable old fucker.Simply awful IMO - my best mate (who is also CAFC) - we both played decent level of football (him more so than me) - we are pragagmatic, and know the game
What we saw yesterday was a team which AT LAST put the effort in, and got a point, when under Appleshit, we would have got hammered
Jones is - IMO - already stamping his ‘vision’ on the team - next stop is skill and quality - but for now, grind it the fuck out, and survive in League Shit
We are seeing the roots of good things - someone tell me the last time we scored 3 goals away ……3 -

Oh bugger !!!
Well I’m sure you know what I’m getting at !!!7 -
hezzla said:A great and unexpected point, and a dogged performance to go with it. Strangely for a 3-3 I was more impressed with our defensive work than our forward play... thought we did a great job restricting a good Bolton team to very little (4 shots on target, 1.15 XG total)... one of those days where things seemed to just fly in (at both ends, for once).
Only criticism would be that we looked very tired after 60 mins (perhaps no surprise after 3 games in 8 days), and with all our midfielders on bookings the changes could've come sooner. Excited to see how they handle Pompey after a week's recovery.
Really……wasn’t the case from where I was sitting. 🤔0 -
Just my opinion, but I think some of the recent posts on Golfie have gone past the line of the decency we are used to on this platform.
It’s a stressful time and nobody is totally happy with how things have gone this season, but we don’t get personal on here.Regardless of what we THINK is going to happen, we all WANT the same thing.35 -

What i do know is that we are 3 games into Nathan Jones' reign & we are yet to win a game. I like him, and he is miles better than Appleton or Holden but to say (as many posters have said since 5pm yesterday) that we are going to stay up is rather optimistic I would say.0 -
Golfie it would be much better if you stated our squad was brilliant and magnificent come the end of each transfer deadline cos if you had we’d have been promoted years ago , it’s all your fault .
i find the everything is brilliant this player we’ve just signed is great waffle even more annoying cos we are in our worst footballing period in our history so I know who’s been calling it right but as ever plenty of people don’t like the truth .12 -

I'm 100% behind our lads & would do a whole lot of things if it would help us win a game...but there has to be a limit!

Ignore the idiot - we could win Champions League final, and he would still have something negative to say
Never ever ever want to meet this knob

What I do give a shit about are posts being deleted (by the Mods?) when I reply to abuse.
Seem someone took their ball home with them. Or reported me. Ah diddums2 -
I deleted because the personal abuse towards you was OTT and not wanted, so removed the whole chain related to it. To draw a line, I thought that would be clear. But you’ve just brought it up again…
Diddums indeed. There’s nothing I love doing more at 11.30 on a Sunday night than editing stupid posts from people old enough to be grandparents24 -

It was a much improved competitive performance against a top side, but 2 points out of a possible 9 isn't the sort of new manager bounce that will keep us up. We might survive averaging a point a game, we won't with anything less. All to do and I'm far from convinced we'll have the good fortune with injuries that we need.
Still, if Jones gets a free pass from the fans for the rest of this season, which I hope he does, then that can only help in the upcoming important games.
Think we'll beat Pompey though regardless of form.
Positive performances are good. Wins are better. I'm reserving judgement on Jones for now, much as I did with Appleton early on.

Great effort by us on Saturday, need a win at home now.4 or more points from Bolton Portsmouth and Derby would be amazing.
This group needs a lift, and the last two results should have given them that for next weekend.
Regardless of the games in hand that Cheltenham and Port Vale have, March is a huge opportunity for us.1 -
