Nathan Jones

Dodgy haircut, and getting out paced by a squirrel.

The squirrel incident was Paul Brooker returning with Leicester.

Oh yeah, that's right. Jonesy kept his squirrel on his head

Interesting comments on that thread (allowing for the fact that we were in the Championship at the time) including comments on Mayo.

Why exactly was it we got rid of Nathan??

Captain of Yeovil; just whacked Forest; going to Wembley; played very well yesterday .....

Must have been a very good reason, but I sure as hell can't think of one ...

Cos our management in their wisdom thought Jonesy couldn't play left back and we always played him on the wing.

And besides we had Mayo so why on earth would we need a quality left back

We also had Dan Harding (yet another dig at Mayo - but then it's fashionable eh?)

 

[227 BHA]

Fashionable eh?

Well I've been moaning about Mayo for years so I must be at the height of fashion

Would rather have Jonah at left back than Kerry any day of the week!

Good to see people jumping on the anti ride.

He did well last night.

I think he himself said he needed a new challenge. Bit of a liability in his last season with us, giving the ball away in really dangerous positions more than once in every game he played. May have been different if we'd been in League 1. Don't expect him or Yeovil to do anything but get outclassed next season if they go up, if they don't replace him. One relegation slot filled before a ball is kicked imo. He is not a Championship player.

Can definitley do a job in League 1 though.

He's been gone too long! Sorry coat.

 

[Yorkie]

Why are you apologising to your coat?

Like Colchester where going to be?

Teams that go up to the Championship via the playoffs have a very good survival rate. I'm sure someone can provide the stats.

 

[Kenhead]

I've heard that stat too, i think its something like the last 9 years the team that has gone up through the play-offs have stayed up. Well the last 3 years has been barnsley, Sheffield Wednesday and us

If they get through do you want a bet?

Although it's not going to happen imo.

The last few times its been the team that have gone up as Champions that has struggled.

Reading? Sorry, that's the Prem.

I don't get it?

Never mind. Just ignore it.

No I don't mean I don't understand what you're saying, I just don't get if you genuinely made a mistake or were being sarcastic.
