Or they'd decided Jones was being sold in the summer, hmmm... - around the last international break per chance?
How many goals this season has at least a few on here commented Hughes was at fault? I am wondering how good he is. Having said that, I do recall saying exactly the same about Harry back in the day.
I noticed a couple of times Joseph got shoved in the back as he was about to control the ball, and then couldn't hold onto it as a result. He was probably too nice; a McBurnie would've either anticipated the shove and defended himself against it, or gone down to display the foul to the ref rather than trying to just about stay up when it was always going to make it difficult to trap the ball.
The logic of saying 'Jones vs Egan - look where Middlesbrough are now' is really lazy. Especially when both players were playing for a team who last season survived the drop by the skin of their arse and when Egan by the same logic comes from clubs with multiple promotions from this league and games at a higher level. Also, the season's not exactly finished is it. Most of our goals conceded this season have come from individual errors from our deeper players. Egan's not been the worst offender at all and has popped up a few times in dangerous positions up front as well. I don't think popping Alfie Jones back in there is the answer to our problems.
