Constantly picking clucas is another baffling decision. I worry that a few aren't buying into Jones' philosophy I don't think a single player has "bought into" the philosophy. Not even Clucas, but Jones must believe he has no alternative.

So the general consensus is MacLean shouldn't be playing deep lying forward.
Mom James MacLean it is then. Well played James 😁

Clucks and Tootpaste - worst two players last time out so why change a losing side? Bloody hell, I am rapidly getting fed up with Jones. McLean wasn't one of the worst last time and hasn't been for most games. Do you simply dislike him so no matter how he plays want him out of the team?

I wish he'd just stick with a formation.
All this chopping and changing muddies the water, teaches us little and confuses limited players already lacking in confidence.
Summer can't come quick enough...

Well of the 3 options you've given I'd suggest Clucas is a better one Let’s hope so but his performance v Hull was one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time. Let’s hope he’s massively better today. It was but he wasn't at left back....why the manager thought putting him on the right when he's always played on the left or centrally was a good idea , I don't know

Some very strange decisions that's for sure. I pray it's all about experimenting for who fits for next season. Dropping Bojan baffles me, although the only other viable option at the top of the diamond is Ince? The only reason I feel McLean gets the nod is his workrate? Afobe is bone idle. Constantly picking clucas is another baffling decision. I worry that a few aren't buying into Jones' philosophy, if that is the case then they need shipping out in the summer. I fear that come August we will still have 80% of the deadwood....... Well I'd rather have Clucas at left back I suppose but McLean again is very worrying Possibly only viable option at left back. Which is a complete fook up of our transfer policy again. As said, I pray its Jones experimenting for next season. I do fear that Jones' summer dealings will be fatkeeper/Scholes cheapo options rather than any first choices......the summer transfer window is massive, and how many times have we fooked it up. 'shudders with fright'

Really baffling if McClean is the 2nd forward, offers zero goal threat.

McClean should not be near this team, hes crap end of. I think we've gone out of the frying pan into the fire with this manager. Talk about changes, hes seem to have absolutely no clue. Love to be eating my words but jesus christ he seems all over the place.

Been written off allready but the game before last he was getting raved about in the same position

It was but he wasn't at left back It was when BMI got hooked. Clucas went in there but didn't improve.

Batshit mental and very scary. Clucas? McClean?
We'll probably win 8-0

On the bench: 3 defenders 3 forwards. To be fair, you’d struggle to shoehorn another midfielder into the team!

I hope Woods steps up to the mark today. Still think he can be a big player for us but he needs more solidity behind him so he can be more aggressive with his passing.

I'm convinced Jones is picking names out of a hat He could pick 11 names out of a hat 100 times,he would still have the same Shit players to pick out 100 times

McClean in centre mid would be even weirder tbf. And Allen is crap as an attacking mid. Allen started very well in that position at the beginning of his Stoke career. Not really, he scored a few goals but there was no creativity.

Goarn lads, 3 pts against the Baggies like the good ol’ days please!
Perplexed by the persistence of McClean though. Rest of the XI is about as good as we have imho. Possibly an argument for Bauer and Bojan instead of Edwards and Ince, but not much in it.
