Loan out if we go up, part of the squad if we remain in the championship. I don’t think he’s great but he can definitely play a part at this level as a squad player.
Possibly mate. It's all about opinions, I suppose.
For me, Jones doesn't look like a top half Championship player and if we stay down or go up and come back down, I wouldn't have him in the squad, which should be made up of top half Championship players or higher and up and coming young stars like we have now with the likes of Rigg, Jobe and Mayenda.
We all know that when fit we have Patto, Huggins, Hume, Seelt, Ballard, O'Nien, Cirkin, Neil, Jobe, Rigg, Mayenda, Mundle and Isidor. That's 13, and I haven't included the loan players. Another 7 top end Championship players (or above) plus the likes of Young, Neill, Geragusian, Ogunsuyi and Middlemiss coming through and we would be a huge force to be reckoned with at this level.
To get those 7 in though, we need to get rid of the surplus who aren't up to that level. Loaning out players who've played in the first team and not justified their inclusion stands in the way of progress imo.
