He didn't have a great game but not many did today, I feel some of the negative comments on here are way over the top, he's 19 he is going to make mistakes

The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved. -
It’s not an issue with the way we play. Tactically, they have to ensure we keep the ball first and foremost and block any counter attacks.Are we winning?Comment

Exactly - the issue is people not appreciating how much work our midfielders have to do. The reason Trent and Tobbo are given free reign is that the midfielders have to cover incase of any breaks.Originally posted by Fredo View Post
It’s easy to criticise after a bad performance. But we are top scorers in the league.Modifying post.Comment

He will learn more from games like today than the games in which things click easily around him.
Strikes me, going by some of the interviews he has given, as the sort of kid that looks at his bad games and mistakes and works hard to try to make sure he irons the kinks from his game.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

He's a great prospect with great confidence and ability. He should have been pulled much earlier today as he was holding onto the ball too long and wasn't producing much up top, he then gave that stupid corner away. He'll learn but I'd rather we were 2 up before making a massive mistake. Today he took far too many touches although that goes for the other two in midfield as well. Love the lad but he is partly responsible for dropping two point today. I am a little concerned how many minutes he is being asked to play as well . Considering it's his break through season.Originally posted by Jaco_Pastorious View PostAlways borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back. Oscar WildeComment

I'd say the **** movement of our front three were responsible for players like Jones holding onto the ball for too long.Originally posted by BobTheCharmer View PostWas muß, das muß.Comment

I definitely had that thought as well but it's difficult to get a real reflection of the forward players movement from watching the game on TVOriginally posted by foresterbloke View PostComment

I REALLY wish they'd offer an overhead view of the game, Sensible Soccer style!Originally posted by Jas View Post
Do many grounds have the overhead wires and cameras? In fact this would make for a good VAR method, tracking player movements and measuring positions.Was muß, das muß.Comment

Great impact when he came on with the assist - thought he looked a threat and kept the ball well. He just needs to look up and release the ball a bit quicker when we have a break on.
Also, he turned 20 at the weekend so is no longer a teenager!Comment

Interestingly in the last 2 games we have taken Jones off having just clawed our way back into a game and ahead on a game and it has gone to **** instantly. He keeps the ball and he plays forward. He’s just not that quick so we need some legs alongside him.
We need about 4 Hendos right now, but Jones ability under pressure has made us keep the ball well.Modifying post.Comment

Yeah, good point. The losing of the ball led to the freekick (even before Thiago's challenge as he should never have had to do that). Second and third goal same. Curtis brings that calmness and confidence with the ball and he rarely loses it.Are we winning?Comment

Brilliant tonight - I stand by what I said......this guy will be one of the best midfielders in the world within 5 yearsComment

I totally agree. He is so young but already shows such maturity with the ball. Rarely looses it. Knows when to pass and when to turn. And he looks so strong for one so young.

Just said to a mate, once he gets his 90mins legs at this level he will be 1st name on anyone's team sheet.
Next season watch him glide thru gamesComment
