Jones

To Scunthorpe ? ... just had a word with a nice chap from scunny and he thinks its true ?

If this was end of last season, i would be gutted.

Right now, i couldn't care less, nothing i hate more than when someone gives 0 effort and isn't arsed about our football club.

Probably is, the games have seen jones lately he hasn’t looked interested, let’s see what happens bit of money and a player swap will do

If Jones was going down the leagues then I would say it's because he's not producing on the pitch.  But as it's a top Lge 1 team who are after him, why would they want him if he's lazy and not putting in the effort?

Maybe it's not Jones who's the problem...

Looked more of a Conference North player than a League One one on Saturday.

I'd be amazed if Scunthorpe were interested personally.

Unless he is playing seriously out of position, he's not shown too much this season to indicate that he would be capable of playing in a higher division. More worryingly is that his fitness doesn't seem a great deal better than last season when you could perhaps forgive him a little for not being able to last the full game.

Too much half-arsed jogging around on show from him in the past month or two especially and he's missed some great opportunities to set up chances because his head has been down when he has got the ball.

If a scunny scout has watched Jones in the last couple of months I don't think will be recommending they sign him. His level at the moment would be more like Skellingthorpe than Scunthorpe.He's like a sulky little kid.

I would be amazed. He would not get a game in a team at the top of league 1 unless he is so demotivated at the present time that we are not seeing the best of him. There is a player in there but he is still very raw and needs to realise football is a team game.

After looking fairly average in the National League, Alex Rodman is now doing well at a League 1 club gunning for promotion to the Championship.

I've always believed that 50% of players in L1 & L2 are much of a muchness, and the way you sign the best is by bringing out the best in them.

Until Podge signed for us, no one had been able to get 20+ goals out of him in a season, let alone 30.

I haven't been to many matches this season so my judgment on Sam Jones is based on what I saw last season (and in the handful of games I've seen this season):

He's definitely good enough to prosper in League 2. Players don't turn crap overnight. Reading between the lines, he probably isn't enjoying playing in this Slade team because it doesn't suit his strengths.

He's stopped scoring, he's not getting the same amount of chances, he's lost confidence and therefore lost form.

We need to get him back on it, and I wish we had a manager and a coaching set-up that was able to work with players when they lose form rather than take the easy decision to get rid and bring in someone else, because the cycle will only get repeated.

100% agree with this.
