Why don't people actually never give Mr Jones a break because all you say is Jones is a bad manager


1.) 12 Nov 2013
Because he is! he must be blind!


2.) 12 Nov 2013
We can't all be wrong

I have backed jones through the bad, but it is obvious all is not well and it's not a happy ship at s6. A new face with man management skills is required to freshen things up as the squad is good enough, I bet this would show a sharp increase in positive results, it looks like player power is trying to show him the door, just going through the motions with no real conviction, I think is a fair appraisal of the players attitudes, the majority anyway. I'd love to see holloway, wears his heart on his sleeve and back the players 100%.

DJ is or more correctly was a good manager. Ok he was never the worlds best but he could at least get teams to win games and pick decent tactics. However for some reason or other he seems to have completely lost the ability to manage well with us.

Where are we going from here mr mandric?


6.) 13 Nov 2013
You only have to look at last Saturdays team selection and performance and you can see the problems with DJ. We lined up with a 4-4-2 formation but in reality it was a 4-2-4 line up, Derby played up with a 4-4-1-1. this meant that our central midfield was overrun, at times Derby had 5 in central midfield against our 2, they won the ball by sheer numbers and it meant when we did get the ball we were constantly harassed and promptly had it taken away. Time and again their main striker got the ball and there were 2 midfield men running through the centre midfield area unchallenged to support him. When Wickham won the ball our support players were 30 yds away so Wickham lost the ball and it came straight back at us. I and the Owls fans around me could see the problem so why couldn't DJ. He seemed at a loss as to what to do and the confidence just drained away, you could see in the players body language that they know what was wrong. McPhail went over to DJ twice and was pointing to the midfield area, I don't know if he was trying to tell Jones or not but it looked like he was to us.

Having paid good money to go to Pride Park I admit that some of the players were not at the races on Saturday but afterwards Teflon Dave comes out and lays all the blame on the players and took no responsibility for poor tactics and team selection. I don't know who he is trying to convince because it isn't the majority of the supporters.

Please tell me if am wrong or right.

in my opinion the same formation was correct to play v derby that we won against reading, but one area what dj got wrong was he played the same strategy and tactics so derby only had to watch the reading game and they could see where not to go wrong? if he would of played same formation and different strategy then it would be okay but that was our downfall v derby uto xxx

451 the usual away formation would have meant dropping Fryatt or Wickham and bringing in Coke or McCabe, supporters would go mad about negative tactics and Dave Jones does not want to lose his job. Zayatte and Johnson are too similar as is Taylor, only Liera should play alongside Johnson. Buxton and Reda lack pace at this level but they are not getting adequate protection from Antonio and Helan. Perhaps the answer is 352 with Buxton and Reda as the wide men but how long will it take the team to learn a new formation and is the manager brave enough to drop Antonio and Helan who have not really performed all season imo.


9.) 13 Nov 2013
Antonio was the man of the match in our only win this season so how can you say he hasn't performed.


10.) 13 Nov 2013
Give mattock a go, reda is a liability and is awful with the all and when players rn at him. great club man and in the air, but apart from that.


11.) 13 Nov 2013
This guy is soooooo right. reda is awful


12.) 13 Nov 2013
Antonio played well in Reading game only. Supporters rated him and effectively bought him and Dave Jones not brave enough to drop him. The rest of the team know he is untouchable and resent it IMO

Missing Gardnef

Well there was a lot of speculation about why O'Grady didn't play much and was sold. O'Grady says in todays Star that "from day one Dave Jones identified that I was not one of his players, for whatever reason, so I had to come to terms with that. " So presumably Bothroyd and Sidibe were his "type" of player.


15.) 14 Nov 2013
Nice to know dj prefers crap over ogrady then, sidibe was okay and played well bothcrap couldn't be bothered focused too much on his love gun tattoo design. uto xxx

It was a tough one with COG as I liked him, put himself about and has shown he CAN cut it at this level but at he time we needed money to bring in the likes of Lita, Wickham, Pugh, Olo, Holden & Howard and COG going out on loan and Betty Boo THANKFULLY going (and hopefully never to return) helped make that happen by freeing up their wages and those players ultimately helped us to stay up! Personally I thought Sidibe was useless and looked every bit a player that hadn't played for nay on two years, wasn't his fault but he definitely wasn't the striker we needed, couldn't score to save his life (barring the header v Bolton).

Glad he's doing well but I don't think we would have stayed up last season if he HADNT gone out on loan to Dingles!


17.) 14 Nov 2013
Yeah let him go out on loan but then realise that loan is different to selling him, he scored many goals that show that we should of kept him! having loan players are good but having our own players is better. would you rather sign wickham or loan 4 other players of some use? uto xxx

IF QPR could be fined up to £60 m for excessive spending, would we get a refund for lack of spending?


20.) 18 Nov 2013
When the financial fair play rules come into (full) force, we will be in a lot healthier position than the majority of Championship clubs. Maybe this is when we can press on with team investment. Just hope we can stay up this season to do it!

Guys; just wait and see what it will happen after the international break or the new year. It is going to be very tough and MM will have a very difficult decision to make. The reason may not be the best for us the fans but Milan Mandric is a business man and there is no way he will allow us to go back to league one, simply because he will loose money, NOT for any other reason. If we start to win more than we loose, that's all fine and good but if we will not and continue our miserable run of matches, then do not worry Milan will look after his wealth/business first and make the necessary changes. Either way we, the fans, will achieve our aim to stay up either with the current manager (and players) or someone else. Does that make sense, think about it? Up the owls :-) (NDS)


22.) 21 Nov 2013
MM will let us go down. A cheaper sale is a quicker sale.
