They have just created a vacancy in charge of our U21s which has his name on it.

I don't quiet think many on here realise how many actually dislike Jones
You just can't like the bloke or take him seriously
Do you need a villain as some sort of therapy?

That first half was atrocious, so I'll give him a no. Indeed the second half was cracking, but gratitude must go in the direction of Reading for all they did to give up and lose. We can't just put fire on our bellies when the other side of effortlessly extinguished theirs. I'll be waiting for someone who knows what they're doing and changes things a little. Much of a muchness won't do.

The JFC argument is an interesting one. He played very well again Wolves last week. On last weeks Albion Roar they made a good point about how he performs well for the England U21's yet seemingly underperforms in an Albion shirt. I think he's has come under some fair criticism this year but at the same time has been made a scapegoat at the same time. He's not, never has been and never will be a holding midfielder and playing him there has been one of the many questionable decisions Sami made.

Nathan Jones has the passion, ability and coaching badges to be great in the development of young players so let's make use of him by placing him somewhere useful like the academy.
What the first team need now is a wise head who has been there and got the t-shirt at Championship level, someone who can handle big ego's (as we'll be buying a few hopefully), deal with the day to day running of a big'(ish) club in the media spotlight and get the best out of some mediocre players who's potential hasn't been seen for some time.

Not convinced. Reading took their foot off the gas throughout the game and took off their best player with plenty of time left.

Listen to me!!!
Poor team selection. As soon as I saw it, it was obvious we would not win today. I though Nathan may have had his own ideas but what do I know.
No thanks.
We have a misconception amongst football fans in this country that this 'passion' is the most important aspect of the game. The reason why we were diabolical under Hyypia wasn't because of any lack of passion - in fact from whats been said about Hyppia he was extremely passionate about the job, perhaps too much so - it was because he was tactically inept.

same team selection, same formation, same tactics - first half was an absolute shocker. fair play - there was a vast improvement in the second half but to start with the same midfield as Sammi (which is basically no midfield) was an appalling error and goes to show why (as assistant manager) he was unable to help Sammi turn it around. gotta go or U21s for me.
So you expected miracles in jones first game in charge? You expected jones to somehow be this miracle worker after just 1 week?
I'm no jones lover but Jesus, I don't know what some people expect him to be capable of after just a few days in charge.
That first half was dire, but that's down to the players not the manager. Players accept FA responsibility and are never held accountable for defeats. Some fans need to understand that a manager can only do so much and the players have to be trusted to give their all. To blame the manager for everything that happens on the pitch shows a real lack of football understanding.

Whilst I don't want him as full time Manager, it must have been the first half time team talk that we have had this season. Whatever was said we looked a different team in the second half and even Gardener had probably his best half for us. McCourt must be on borrowed time though can't see him fitting into the new players plans. Jonesey for under 21 manager for me.

People want to give Jones a go because he showed passion. Is this serious.
Jones should be physically removed from the premises as soon as possible only allowing him to grab his coat on the way.

Not sure if I should give you thumbs up or a thumbs down. The line up and the way we went about first half we might aswell of had Sami. 2 nd half was so much better not sure if it was down to Jones or Murray going off.
