Slade is Clueless - Kenwyne Jones

What manager would leave their top goal scorer on the bench particularly when no one else is scoring!

Jones has 6 goals in his last 8 games and left on the bench for no reason. It just proves that Slade is clueless. Leyton Orient are in a mess and now we are in a mess.

Agreed, and if I was treated like that I would put in a transfer request to get away from such incompetent people telling me to sit on the bench without any logic to it.

It's not the first time that he has left Slade on the bench. It looks like they are or have been trying to get him off the wage bill!
It's either that or Slade is totally incompetent or I suppose it could be both!

We played without one recognised goal scoring Striker at home???

Overall better than a few of the more recent games, but up against a better team, we have a real problem here.......

Kenwyne Jones can only last 30 minutes.
After that he is a passenger.
Even whilst he was on today he spent most of the time miles behind play or offside.

He's a cracking player but spoils it by being lazy or unfit.

Yes but you are missing the point, he is the club's top scorer by a long way. Who else is going to score the goals? If some of the other players were chipping in then fair enough but they are not.

What point ? He does all his work in 30 minutes, so give him 30 when the opposition are tired. People saying the manager is clueless yet ignoring the fact this guy only plays for a short time then gives up.

very true no way can he start game he would be substituted before half time? unless of course he just walks around pitch for 2nd half looking pretty!! he is coming on at right time and he alsmost scored in 2 mins, if he puts ball either side keeper he scores different game then but alas he didnt!! :cry:

As far as KJ is concerned, Slade is hoping that we can get to the hour mark at 0-0 and then he plans to bring KJ on for the last 25 minutes to score the vital winner, only one problem with this, " we cannot keep a clean sheet", so it will never work. SACK THE MUPPET AND HIS SIDEKICK NOW............
