Nathan Jones's Benny Hill moment at Swindon

[Lady Whistledown]

Looked funny at the time, but even better on Sky. The one where he attempted a crafty flick pass back through his legs in the first half, but only succeeded in falling over his own feet.

Bet he's getting some stick in training for that, especially given that the Swine players and crowd were splitting their sides laughing.

Pure Benny Hill, and worth the £13 ticket price I think.

football genius.

 

[Hiney]

It was brilliant, particularly as it came at a time when Tony Gale and the commentator were stressing the need for us to keep things simple

 

[Marc]

I pissed myself at that then shouted abuse at him to stop f***ing about and just cross the damn ball! stupid welsh tart!

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

He went for a couple of tricks that didn't work, although only that one was really funny. After one went wrong Tony Gale said all he should concentrate on doing is whipping crosses in round the defender as we all know he can do that. Wise words methinks.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

The other ones were just frustrating as he missed two clear chances to get crosses in, through trying to be clever.

However, I forgive him, purely on account of the comedy tripping-over-his-own-feet routine.

I thought he was appalling yesterday.

 

[Hart's mistress]

I'm going to stick up for him - I think he played well. Ran at defenders, drawing them out and creating space in the box. Ok so he didn't always get it right, but as I've said before you can't expect 100% perfect even in the Premiership, and we are only Div 2 at the moment.

Seems to me that when he's crossing in games, people are shouting at him to take defenders on, and when he does this like yesterday, people want him to cross. Perhaps we should do a thread each week before the game so the poor guy knows what to do so he's not moaned about.

I agree, though am very far from an Albion expert and only watched yesterday on Sky.
Thought Jones looked one of the most positive players, was trying to create, even if sometimes didn't come off.
Was frustrated so little of the ball was given to Reid on the other flank in the first half - don't know if he'd have done anything decent with it, but couple of times looked like space was there, crying out for the right wing to be used only for the ball to go left again.
Overall, though, very solid, and still can't quite believe this is the same Guy Butters I remember from a decade ago at the Lane.
Am tempted to say he's found his level - and heroically. . .

I agree 100%

I am sick of people moaning about Nathan Jones. Every manager we have had (and we agree we have had good quality managers) have played Jonah regularly.

 

[portslade seagull]

sorry but i'm a jonah stick merchant
he's just not up to it.
for a winger his crossing is appalling
and he should at least score the odd goal
crumplin played better and thats saying something

f*** off freedmen

Nathan creates a lot of our chances. Without him, our goal scoring would be even worse.

When he plays very well, some people don't comment, then when a few things don't work, he gets slated for it. Get off his back FFS.
