Does he think most of the fans only started supporting the team this season? There are lots of us who have seen this for decades and decades, and sometimes worse.....but we have also seen the team win games and score lots of goals in one game, and fight back from 2-1, 2-0 down.....just saying.
It's also getting tedious how much he's blaming the bad start on last season. Stop looking for excuses!
It's the sort of stuff that Nathan Jones used to come out with, you have to take responsibility for your own actions Will. The club is not forcing you to pick the team and are not choosing your substitutions during the game. We lost the lead because of your negative choices. I'm sure that there are many managers that would've loved the hand that you were dealt this season.
the starting line up v Blackburn in 4-2-3-1 McCarthy Roerslev Wood Quarshie Manning Edwards Charles Armstrong Azaz Scienza Archer Alright edwards in DM isn't super but he's likely "best" fit from the defenders there and that isn't a bad team So it's not a case of availability of players dictating when to play a system....
Yeah that's bullshit tbh, he's been playing 3 CBs because he's had a negative mindset as shown by his in-game substitutions.
Did you mean Edwards and Jander? I thought Charles did his hammy? Also, is Downes available again? I'd go Jander and Downes if so
No - my post was a shuffle round of the starting team from the blackburn game to show it could be set up a 4-2-3-1 in relation to tom's earlier point that WS is just spouting a load of crap about being forced to play 3 at the back. it's not likely to be the starting line up for preston
Am I the only person that thinks people are overreacting to this? It's a very selective quote amongst a lot of sense he was talking in that press conference. I'm not sure about WS, and fear it's a job too soon for him, but let's not haul him over the barrel for a single thing he said.
I listened to the full 15 mins with Adam Blackmore and didn't see much wrong with it but then I also didn't see much wrong with a lot of what Jones said, when everyone was losing their ****. Will those of you who have objected please explain in a bit of detail why you are angry and calling him a ****er etc. Mayb I'm just a bit thick as I thought it was mostly fine.
Thank you LTL, looks like you just beat me to it! It just seems all very Jonsey and a bit brattish TBH..as I said maybe I'm missing something though, wouldn't be the first time!
