Jones is a very intelligent guy despite his appearance and 'no nonsense' style defending. He has made a career in the game by knowing his limitations and playing to his strengths! That takes some doing and a lot of honesty! He's also a qualified teacher so has an academic side to him you don't often see on a footy pitch! I think he'll make a very good interim manager! Personally I'mnot sure he's ready for the job full time but I am confident he'll do a great job holding the role short term!
QuoteFull backs for me were where a lot of our failings occurred. They barely get past halfway at the mo. And if they do they don't know what to do with it. If full backs bomb on it pushes everyone else further up. We were spoiled with O'Connor and Roberts but they were crucial in making us a force to recIoned with.Absolutely spot on Cramby. In a 4-4-2 set-up, when you have the ball, you can easily become a 6-in-midfield team. Good modern day full backs are worth their weight in gold. Then all you need is 2 wide men who can work in tandem with their respective FB and you've got a great basis for an entertaining style. Obviously all the other pieces in the jigsaw need to be there but the above gives you a lot of options.That's our trouble - we're not a complete unit yet. We have (arguably) 70% of a good team, but the 20% that is missing, or not up to scratch, is letting the rest of the side down. We have a good base to work with, but we're still a bit short on width and pace. 2 commodities that gets you at the right end of the league.
