    So it’s ok to abuse people? Fair enough

    Are you referring to other sources? Because the criticism in this thread is pretty tame to be honest compared to what you see from other fans

    And all football managers who are this **** get this level of abuse. They just do. They may not deserve it but it isn’t exactly unique

    I have said that he is a bad manager. That isn't abuse. It's objective reality. It's okay to acknowledge the obvious.

    Can we sack a manager at half time?

    We have gone in to half time in every PL game under Jones losing, apart from Villa, which we lost..

    He was brought in to keep us up and he is wasting our easiest run of games in the season.

    Cool. Does that have any bearing on whether he is or isn't capable of managing in the PL? Not really. He isn't Twaterbell, where every time someone calls him a mean name, he gains strength. He's just bad at managing football at this level.

    I deplore the personal attacks on Jones. I blame Ankerson for employing him.

    It’s a bearing of how you treat a human

    But again, that has no impact on whether he is or isn't a capable manager at this level. And all evidence is that he isn't..

    I’m here giving the man a chance, he’s not picked the team I wanted today but I’m not going to lose it over it. This is a big month for him, but Brentford away isn’t an easy game as proven by league position.

    Abusing him obviously isn't cool, but most people aren't..

    Most people are calling him out on being a sub-srandard manager who is taking us down with a whimper.

    This is his seventh league match in charge, and in all likelihood, his sixth loss. That's extremely bad. He has had a chance. He has failed at it.

    I notice that the NJ cheerleading is basically hyper focusing on personal criticism and stubbornly ignoring the list of reasons people are given for being angry

    The situation with the Croatians not being in the match day squad in favour of bednarek and Walcott and his explanation making absolutely zero sense

    I wouldn't have thought he reads this forum tbf. I can't remember if we have won a league game under his tenure?
