I'm not one of the wanton Oatway abusers but sometimes it does seem that it's written into his contract that he must have a part to play in every single game.
But then all the players keep telling us what a hilarious guy he is and all round brilliant bloke, so I'm sure they're only too pleased for him to be guaranteed a place....
The last few matches have showed how much we miss Jones. I never thought he was one of our best players before, but he brings something to the squad that we have missed in the last few games (eg a midfielder who can give service)
