If people want to question the criticism of Jones then I would ask them to do one thing. Watch Premiership football regularly. Through my photography I am lucky enough to. Look at how clinical the finishing is in the Premiership and compare it to what we have.

When you see it - You will realise how far we are away from the Premiership.

Yes KWJ scored two goals last week, against Championship opposition, but IMHO he wouldnt last two minutes in the Premiership.

We need to reach that standard.

We lacked pace from the start against a poor Birmingham side with numerous players missing - Noone and Fabio should have started - Slade picks the team, stop making excuses for they guy :sladeout: :sladeout:

Singling out Jones is ridiculous! And we are a f*cking long way from that standard! It's not just Jones two misses, it's about City's lack of tempo, lack of game plan, lack of rhythm and movement. Where is the imagination in play? Absolutely crap, and it's down to Slade! Stop kidding yourself and make Jones the scapegoat..

I am not singling KWJ out for that result. KWJ was just one part of the problem. As I said in an earlier post we played at the wrong tempo. We were too slow. An Ex-Premiership player (Ameobi) should have hit the target. Russell Slade said he was happy with that performance. I wasnt. As I said before I am not bothered about the penalty. What I am bothered about is the fact that we should be beating sides like Birmingham. We should be scoring two or three goals per game and moreso, we should be in the top three.

When we go 2-0 up we shouldnt be swapping strikers. We should be swapping from a 4-4-2 to a 4-5-1 making it difficult to be broken down. Instead we stick to a 4-4-2 and concede 2 goals (in weeks gone by).

For me there is a lot that needs fixing and its not just KWJ attitude.

Didn't mean you in particular. A lot of knifes are singeling Jones.. 100% agree with you! If Slade is happy with that, it says it all really..

As appalling as the decision was I don't think we can use it as an excuse for not beating one of the poorest teams I've seen for some time.
