Fair enough. Do you think it might be possible Anderson got dropped because it was easier to drop the young guy to accommodate more senior signings like Alan Campbell, Luke Berry, Conor Coventry, and Greg Docherty? I fully admit my bias because I am always inclined to look on our own a bit more favourably than incomers.
Jones clearly likes/rates Karoy, and dropping him could have been for his own protection, rather than further damaging his confidence after performances were not matching his potential.
You can say it's worked out well if Karoy follows up yesterdays superb performance with more like it this season, whether that's in starting 11 or off the bench.
He did something things well yesterday. His pressure on the opposing midfielders led to some interceptions and he also made some good runs off the ball including the one half chance that he had. He was poor on the ball again which is clearly holding him back. Normally I would say he is best served being on the bench but given the run form we are having, something is working big picture so don’t tinker with the starting lineup right now.

I’m not his biggest fan but doc was noticeably better when he came on but I noticed a lot of good things with Anderson yesterday.
I agree some of his technique was good (there is progress in his play and created some good chances), but when he was challenged he got muscled by Pratley and gave the ball away on a number of occasions.
Always find it striking how different he is on and off the pitch. On the pitch he's a bundle of energy and off it he is so chilled out. He doesn't seem as shy as TC, there's a quite, calm confidence about him
Another young player who has been at the club for most of his life who seems very grounded and likeable the club must be doing something really great in developing these lads as people
I found out earlier he had some issues in his private life which I won’t go into but safe to say it’s understandable if there is a drop in form.
Having said that TC also had different but significant issues going on that affected him for a bit. From what I can gather CAFC did a quite superb job of helping them theough it and beyond it and are now reaping some rewards
Karoy is still young and developing but he really is an asset to us. I’m waiting for his “Scott Parker” moment where he just bosses a few games and smashes people up in the air and says “yeah, I’m here”
That goal couldn't have come at a better time for him. I hope it gives him added confidence, not in just his general game, but in attacking the box. I feel he could be a very important player in the final games.
