Would you say he was a country mile better than Inniss and Famewo were after they had played half a dozen games for us?
Because for 6 months they were "clearly" the best center halves in the league, when they were both injured ;-)

I would give it more than 60 minutes against a bang average league 1 team before I decide if he is a "country mile" better than anyone.7 -

Best game in a Charlton shirt so far. Great moment in the second half where he stood up their onrushing attacker and nicked the ball away with a perfectly timed tackle.10

One Cambridge fan said “Rolls Royce” when we signed him. And there were signs of that from him today.3 -

However I also think he’s looked decent all season for us, the problem was he was making a couple of killer mistakes and that’s what people will focus on (and rightly so).1 -

our top performer today0

been a good signing0

I like him, did well today too.
Being super critical he could have done better with that header early on, but that’s not really his role in the team.0 -

He's playing well right now yes but Hector had a purple patch, even Inniss had a brief period of looking like an absolute titan.3 -
Innis had several periods in between injuries and suspensions when he looked fantastic. I hope Jones run of form continues for a long time0

It was his best game so far & I had him as shading MOM, with little competition.

How many people said Famewo was "clearly the best center half in the league" and six months later were prepared to drive him home themselves?
All I am saying is people write off players after half a dozen games, and they shouldn't, it also works both ways and should take more than a dozen games before they are proclaimed the savour.
You have rightly been critical of people doing the former.2 -
Has settled in very nicely and is looking very reliable. Was my MOTM at Shrewsbury and can see him being a top performer all season. If his work rate and urgency rubs off on Hector a bit, we will have a top drawer CB pairing. That said, other than a few wayward passes, Hector got some important and well timed blocks in too on Saturday.0

Jones in the League One team of the month.

I felt very doubtful at the start but he's beginning to show what he's about. He looks a lot better than Lavelle & Innis. Good technically, strong, decent pace... Promising.1
-
Had to go back a way to find the thread but probably worth saying that he's looking pretty impressive currently.
He's got a bit of everything, he can mix it up but isn't just a bruiser, he can play a bit but will put his foot through the ball if needed and decent in the air besides - plus he shows a lot more discipline than some predecessors.
Might potentially be some questions about his ceiling but for where we are right now I'm liking the cut of his jib.9 -
I'd like to see a very good CB partner him.2
-
Yeah I can't make my mind up about him, I'd say he's better than Lavelle, Innis and probably O'Connell as well?
He's not particularly great at anything though just seems solid, isn't as good as Innis in the air and isn't as good as O'Connell on the ball. Certainly the best defender we have though imo0 -
What Jones is, is steady. In the positive sense, as he just does his job.4

Saw this thread pop up, and dreaded opening it, thought he was going to be out injured for 6-8 weeks.1
