Why you’d allow one of the very few players at the club with some ability to leave is beyond me!  Especially considering Slade’s dreadful recruitment so far.  

Unlikely I know, but we need to be moving the likes of Dixon, Hooper, Woolford, Kelly etc on if we’re looking to free up funds for Slade to go out and waste.

Scunny went for Margetts( sp?) from Lincoln a couple of years which baffled the fans as he was nothing too great, but let's face facts, they're now an established,  forward looking club prepared to take a punt on players. If it works out, great, if not then they'll write it off.
Must be lovely

Jones hasn't looked great for a while but there could be many reasons for this. It could be that he doesn't like Slade or his tactics. He might not feel comfortable playing the striker role. MB brought him in as an attacking midfielder but utilised him as a striker. Like a lot of MB's signings he wanted to find out if they were adaptable to play other roles than the one they were used to. We don't know how MB would have used him but Slade persists in using him as an out and out striker. I think Jones would be more effective playing just behind the front two but that doesn't fit in with Slades preferred 4-4-2.

I have no doubts Jones is capable of playing League 1. He is our most talented player and has gone off the boil recently, same as the whole team to be fair. I really despair of people saying stuff like "i will drive him there". Even the best players go off the boil now and again and it must be difficult playing in a side that has so little attacking play. I'd be sad to see him go if true.

Interesting they say "mid fielder" when he has only really been a make shift striker under both Bignot & Slade.

I think we need to cut the lad some slack to be honest this is the highest level he's played at in what has been a modest part time career, it won't always go right especially in such a one dimensional team, I'd be sorry to see him go but as he was a Bignot last minute signing he will probably free up a fair chunk of payroll and as he is contracted I assume we'd ask a decent fee .................Or a swap for Townsend........... only joking with that BTW.
