Dave Jones Makes Us A Promise

Sat Dec 04, 2010 8:24 pm

"Everyone is pulling the same way and will go on doing that as they all want to do well.

"I promise every one of our supporters that there is nothing wrong at this club and we have a great bunch of players.

"We looked very frustrated and had loads of shots on goal but you can't knock the players as they kept going.

"I always believe we can score but sometimes it doesn't come off like today as they defended in numbers.

"You have to stay strong and I have nothing but admiration for all the players."

Come on DJ prove the doubters wrong and get this runaway train back on track and heading towards the Premiership, each and every team will have a blip during the season, we have just finished ours.

Today was an awful performance against a truly awful team but we did not get beat thankfully and despite the performance it could turn out to be a valuable point.

We are second in the league and we have very rich backers, it all bodes well for a happy new year.

I've not been over for a while but am looking forward to the Burnley game in a fortnight-i feel we need a decent left back and central defender with pace and we'll go up. :ayatollah:

In fairness the players kept trying, but it was one of those days. We gave away a bad free kick and they scored from a deflected effort. I can remember at least 2 efforts from us cleared off the line and there were plenty of other efforts.

We always say we will back the players providing they try. Today they tried but came up short on quality. If WE the SUPPORTERS are true to our word then the last thing we should be doing is booing them off the pitch or getting on their backs.

Tony I have never booed my team and hope I never get so low. The players did try and today they lacked the quality but they kept going and ultimately got a reward.

Carl - great to read your positive post, cheered me up no end.

It was dissapointing today, too many players just off thier game, and we had some bad luck . Plenty of running and effort from most I thought, and they kept going till the end - even when things were not happening for them.

We have had our dip, and still 2nd - Come on city, we can do it ! :ayatollah:

One point from our last three home games is not unlucky it's ineptness.

By getting rid of an adequate centre half and replacing him with a player that is at least six months off playing shows determination to get things right I suppose. By Failing to anticipate Bothroyd's habit of getting booked and injured (thus being unable to play) he obviously did the right thing by getting in a player that could fulfill the same roll? Remind me who that player was. One could go on but then it's never Jones' fault. He must therefore be an unlucky manager and as such should be got rid of.

Bang on Carl :ayatollah: I truly believe promotion will be delivered this year, its not going to be easy and no-one ever said it would be...I didn't see an awful lot to be worried about long term today - the players still got the hunger which is vital, we have enough quality to see us through - I just hope we all sick together cus it will feel so much better come the end of the season when we do it! :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Look i think we all have to accept that Dave Jones is here for the Season unless we have an absolute disastarous run and fall outside the Top 6. We can be some of the best fans in the World and we cab all so be some of the worst and to all the fans booing at HT and leaving in disgust 15 minutes before time WTF that is not support :evil:

There are loads bitching and complaining but at the beginning of the season every single one of us would have taken 2nd place in the first week of December, we have no divine right to promotion and no side is going to roll over for us. The side showed plenty of fight today and it's about time we all got behind them and the Manager. There are going to be poor performances and disapointing results along the way but come May i am convinced we will be celebrating promotion and we as supporters can and should play our part to ensure we get there :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: Dave Jones Makes Us A Promise

i have no faith in dave jones or some of the players. i truly believe we will struggle to keep automatic promotion. jones has brought in some woeful players, naylor, keogh, hudson to name a few and he is so arrogant he refuses to see it. it comes to something when 10 year old kids are saying what jones should be doing 40 minutes before he does. jones would do well to remember his role is to pick the best starting 11 not the ones who brown nose him or refuse to stand their ground. the team has suffered on numerous occasions because he thinks he is bigger than the club.

jones do us all a favour and show some humility and admit when you are wrong and accept criticism from the players when they feel agrieved at your pathetic decisions.

I wish I had your confidence in the man but we are going nowhere fast under his leadership. Yes we are 2nd at the moment but we have 5 points from the last 18 and that is not promotion winning form. If he doesn't turn it around and fast he needs to go.

It's a long season , were going to have bad games . But all the teams who come to the CCS , are going to.make it hard for us . Our best chance of picking up points is away from home . Where the home side will have to play , not leave 9 defending , so no more booing we're all in this together .

We may all be in this together but some are getting more out of it than others who are having to pay. Jones is obviously and by his own admission not in it with us. A jack game is only three points to him. Other games just something else he has to endure. He has set himself apart and will not take the blame for any aspect of failure. He's here solel;y for the money.
