Rate Jones v QPR

[mermaidsal]

Hard to conceive of a feebler start to a campaign. Little quality, less character. Was that really a home game??? Anyone got the heart to say much more?

I agree. He should have seen this coming. The fact that he was surprised after game lost any points.

Maybe he can have half a point for not blaming the fans (as I thought he might do)

Leicester proved the diamond didn't work.

Yet he persists with the same shite system and players. QPR are a bloody poor side and they dealt with us comfortably today and could have gone away 3 nil winners.

Three bloody wins in 22 games.

For me he has to go. It's a terrible, terrible record. He said give him a full Pre season. We have and this is what is produced.

It's awful. And deep down we all knew it would be.

[kidcrewbob]

Meh

[Staffsoatcake]

I would like to give him a 3,but that would mean it could actually get worse.

So it's a 0 from me.
So it can only get better.

New season, same problems.



Very depressing! ☹️

Ridiculous formation using experimental players in key positions. Afobe should have been first off the pitch replaced by Campbell but he couldn't get that fucking very obvious and simple thing correct.
Started off brightly until Butland fucked it up and then it truly showed the lack of character of the whole team who fucking shat themselves at home and went back into their shell and looked pretty poor until the subs all eventually made it on.
Poor start and desperately disappointing.

2 * on the basis that we don’t look like we’ve addressed most of last seasons problems and

“we will bring in players and give you a team you can be proud of We WILL HIT THE FLOOR RUNNING I believe this to the bottom of my core “

Shite

[Clem Fandango]

He wants a -5 for trying all summer to make that fucking diamond work only for QPR to destroy it in about 15 minutes.

[maninasuitcase]

4*

First 5 minutes look composed.

Butland has his moment and we fall to bits.

Thought the midfield was pants.

Only woke up when Gregory Ince and Campbell came on.

1* just because he finally saw that Adobe and Vokes were useless

This.

[thevoid]

"Judge him on his own transfer window."

He then spends window number one bringing in players clearly not suited to his preferred method of playing. And failed to address the left back issues so far.

Nothing I've seen since he's been here suggests anything other than the job's too big for him.

[rambo61]

2*how can you bring in 7/8new players and start a new season with Afobe who was a complere failure last season???!!!No shots on target after65 mins says it all...are we proud???are we fuck!!!

[walrus]

2*

I’ve run out of goodwill for him.

The diamond didn’t work with our squad last season and the summer signings aren’t good enough to change that. McLean at left back is never going to work. Allen and Clucas don’t create anything and even if they did Vokes and Afobe are far too immobile to both be on the pitch together.

Why no subs until 66 minutes when we were getting easily outdone tactically? Why no Verlinden in the squad?


I’m starting to think he’s out of his depth and every bit as stubborn as Rowett.

[19notbeaten72]

0 from me as he clearly has not got a clue. We gave him breathing space after the Rowett shambles but he has taken us further backwards & we look worse than ever.
We are only going one way with Jones in charge & people need to see him for what he really is a league 1 manager well out of his depth.

2*

I still don't think he ever shouldve been given the job.

I'm sick of you lot saying how much time he needs with absolutely no evidence to back up his shit actions.

I even said I'd prefer Bruce and was laughed off here.

I got semi-up for this match and thought, OK maybe you lot were right, after a full pre-season and his own players it'll work out.

No. He's a joke. Just like Rowett, neither were/are up to it.

[terrorofturfmoor]

2* purely for changing the formation in the last 15/20 minutes, giving us a very limited half-chance!!!

Prior to that...... Zilch!!!

[Bombus]

6. Subs were just what we needed, came on at the right time. We were worth at least the point as we were the better side over 90 minutes. Looking forward to next Saturday like you wouldn't believe, absolutely loved it today tbh. Love it that it's back. We're back. Ref could fuck right off though. BRING ON CHARLTON.

[cousindupree]

3 he at least made some decent subs and we improved. OK only the first game but it's hugely worrying that even after a pre season and his transfer window the performance was reminiscent of many under his stewardship last season.

[The man from Utch]

Butland messing up cost us the game and the momentum we had going So I think 5 is fair. It was going well went pair shaped and slightly improved in the last 10 minutes.

2*
Cant see any improvement whatsoever

In fact, it's gone backwards on that display hence the lowest ratings I've ever given
He'll sort eet......wuntee?

[Fred Merger]

1*
Disastrous performance apart from the last 15 mins when Ince Gregory and Campbell came on for the lacklustre Afobe, Vokes and Powell!

[questionable]

-24 and still counting

[crapslinger]

1* for taking his jacket off, he's a fraud end of.

[blackpoolred]

Cant seriously be thinking of making an 18-year-old a regular starter, has to bleed him in. For feck sake Stoke buy a decent centre-half, why is it so difficult and let's not get started on starting the season with a square peg at left-back - no excuses - we need a quality left-back. Start with a decent defence and build from there

Trying hard to cling on to anything from that performance, got the feeling if QPR wanted to turn the screw a bit more and scored a 3rd it could have got embarrassing.

Only 1 game I know - but does not take an einstein to know we are in trouble - some major signings required.

performance not even worthy of a number - so I am not going to give him a mark

7* he was right , in fact spot on , we do need to purchase before Thursday 2-3 in.

Genuine question: how on earth do you get a 7 when losing, at home, to a poor team in QPR? 
A 7 would surely imply that he did a pretty good job, no?
First 5 and last 10 minutes I thought there was some good play but the other 75 minutes were atrocious!
