New Signing / Callum Jones (merged)

Quoted from headingly_mariner

He was quietly efficient and was a little frustrated that others weren’t quite at his level. I think he will be excellent for us and within the month everyone will be going crazy about how we need to sign him.
I might be wrong, but he instantly looked above the level, good touches and zipping his passes about.

Totally agree. He looked a proper footballer to me - read the game well, nice and tidy in everything he did, and kept us ticking over with an eye for a more telling pass if it was on. Hurst was saying we could only get him as he was not eligible for another EFL loan this season.

Agreed. And I think he'll look better still when the conditions aren't so appalling and skilful play is easier. Mind, I've had to factor in that my eyeballs were frozen so it was all a bit of a blur.

I thought he got more confident and played better as the game progressed, he looks like a player who has played at a higher level and once he gets to really know his teammates he will get better.

Thought he did well today.
Looks good.

Very comfortable on the ball, good addition I think.

Thanks chaps, I wasn’t there but from your descriptions he sounds like he could be more than useful for us. What a great result result today, I really thought it was fizzling out into one of those missed opportunities to make up points on our opponents who drew today. UTM!

Good player .

Showed enough for me - particularly given the team ‘struggled’ as a whole. Didn’t hide, looked to be positive, worked hard, did the ‘dirty’ side of the game as well. Will obviously improve with more game time and understanding of team mates. Not sure how anyone could be critical of his performance today tbh

Thought he was decent but as others have said conditions on the day and one training session were factors that need taking into account. Thought he was quite cautious in his passing maintaining possession and if I had a criticism it would be that he and Burgess sat a bit too deep and thus allowed Woking’s midfield to pick up a lot of loose balls dropped down from defenders challenges/clearances.

Not helped by Clifton having a very poor game with some woeful passing plus Sousa and McAtee not at their best either.

Certainly has the pedigree to be a big asset but would like to see Fox back alongside him asap.

A feeling Coke may replace Burgess on Tuesday night to give us a little more aggression in midfield and may allow Jones to play a little further forward.

What I liked about him was that he talked throughout - telling players where to be or where to go. You'd never guess he was so young from the way he led that midfield.

I thought his passing was decent but he was sat a little too deep for me, particularly first half. Would have liked to have seen him a little higher and trying to get on the ball a bit more. That said, a very promising start.
