Problems solved, DJ has signed another one of his old-boys Olofinjana from Hull.
He got 6goals in 42 games last time he played for Jones so he obviously knows how to get the best out of him as well?
Certainly knows how to inspire the fans our Dave! {Ed001's Note - how many goals do you expect a midfielder to get?}

The point is Ed we need a goalscorer and have done since pre-season.
We also now need a wide-man to replace the injured Antonio.
This chap, no matter how capable he is, is neither, and to accommodate him we will have to change the whole set up of the team for the run-in?
Hardly ideal strategy in our position? {Ed001's Note - maybe not, but to criticise a midfielder for his goal record is a bit pointless. There is still time to get more yet.}

Plus since Cokes injury we need a CM.

To clarify Ed001, there was no criticism of the player, it was intended to highlight that this chap solves neither of our 2 pressing problems, and his arrival would indicate a fundamental change to team setup? Which I hope you would agree is not ideal strategy at the sharp end of the season with points desperately needed to avoid regulation. {Ed001's Note - I fully understand, it just read like you were criticising the player for his goal record. I apologise for misunderstanding your intentions.}

Agree0 Disagree1

Fair point but strengthening forward line tomorrow really is critical now!

Agree0 Disagree0

No apology necessary Ed001.

Agree0 Disagree0

The shape of the team will have to change anyway, with the injury to antonio. Also, prutton close to a three match ban, so I'd say it was prudent to get in another CM. not to say we don't urgently need another decent front man too

Agree0 Disagree0

Another midfielder in, Holden from Bolton.

Agree0 Disagree0

The formation will change because of the injury to Antonio, Mr Jones could play Mattock on the wing in place of Antonio and Taylor at centre forward, after all they are the only defenders not in the team.

O Grady is a good player but can't score enough goals that's why he's on loan at Barnsley? Plus we had to balance books when we signed lita if we sign Davis madine might go out on loan problem Doncaster.

But he would be in the starting XI on Saturday if he were still here.

Who's Davis? Xxx

On the subject of loyalty. There is loyalty to the club and loyalty to the manager. For some people they are one and the same thing. i. e. you can't be loyal to the club unless you are loyal to the manager. To others, me included, to be loyal to someone who is perceived to be a danger to the greater good (i. e. the club) is unjustified. We all want the best for Wednesday - of that there can be no doubt - but it is time to reflect on where, for you, true loyalty should lie. A personal decision but we should all respect our fellow fans.

Fair point. I neither agree nor disagree. Jones has had a mixed time and for a while was very unpopular. I think that time has passed and we are all pulling together now. However, as all managers know, if they don't achieve targets (I assume safety this season and play offs next) then they can expect the sack.
For my own part Jones has puzzled me at times with his post match comments but to be fair so have a lot of other Wednesday managers. Anyway best of luck to him in the coming weeks. JR

All you lot defending dj we in a relegation battle, how many dys does dj spend on training ground I heard thursday well if we on a learning curve surely more days should be spent with his pupils.
