    We all keep citing the strength of the squad now with the players we could bring on, except we never actually do.

    He's clearly a class player just he's needed a rest of late. Which makes it even more baffling that he hasn't been rotated with Aptor. Or even subbed at 70 when we've been chasing a goal, that makes a massive difference to recovery.

    It is baffling but then probably the one real weakness I'd say Jones has tactically/managerially is that he is often a hit slow/reluctant to make changes, both in games and on a more macro level with squad management.

    Not terribly so and when he does make the change he generally gets it right, but sticking with Bree despite injury is a prime example.

    Is it just me, or are his flaws becoming more apparent. He misreads the game quite badly at times. Just today, he let Sorba Thomas run off him, and with a better pass that would've been a goal.

    For all the chat, and seemingly clear desire from NJones to sign him - i cant see it being anymore than a desperate signing of a known commodity.

    His set pieces have extremely poor barring the first few games, doesn't work well alongside Ramsey (who himself is under performing)- id rather we look at someone more exciting and with fire in their belly, rather than what would be an underwhelming continuation of keeping Bree

    Last night i thought he was awful, out of position, looked unfit and generally like we were playing with 10 men.

    Not about to throw a player under the bus for 2 poor games especially when one of those he was injured and the other was against one of the best wingers in the league. 

    6 goal contributions in what 12 games 10 games if we look at per 90, same amount of contributions as TC, Kelman, Oloafe, Leaburn combined. 

    So what if he’s not the most exciting wingback like small what he is, is effective. Without him we also conceded 5 goals at Southampton with a lot of chances coming down that side. 

    I’m actually in awe how people let less than 1/6 of Bree’s season completely change their opinion of him as a player talk about reactionary

    Mental that people are writing him off when he’s clearly been struggling with an injury. He was absolutely class before that and has been good at this level for years, but let’s ignore all that and focus on 2 games where he was clearly injured and then returning from (or possibly still suffering with) injury
