No score for me.
Nothing he could of done to stop us doing the usual , and surprised it wasn't more. He's not experienced enough and was just shoved there by the board.

Chucked under a bus to be honest by this bunch of lazy good for nothing tools. Ok, he was hamstrung by injuries, but what I would have liked to see was a bit of a gamble and give a few of the kids a run out. Bottled it by giving Vokes, Lindsay and Ward games to be honest.
I'll give him a nominal 4, because he at least had the balls to take the reins short-term and had the balls again to call them out after the game.

When i heard/saw the starting line up,I thought we were setting up for the nil-nil draw.
In non-possession phases we had a back 5,yet looked as porous as ever.
When in possession,we effectively had a midfield 5,however the man on the ball had as few option as in any other formation we've employed.
We barely looked capable of forcing set pieces in dangerous areas,let alone fashioning clear cut chances,when we did they were invariably dreadful.
Only the midfield trio showed any real desire or (little,) quality.
The fact that McClean radically improved our attacking threat is a damning indictment of Jones and his regime.
I'll give him 4 simply because he seems genuinely to care about what's happening on the pitch,but then so did NJ.
If we can't source a decent calibre candidate to replace Jones and have to go down the caretaker route,we'll be done for by the end of the year.

0 and that’s generous. 5 across the back with 2 slow wingbacks was suicidal against their skill and pace. Then to say he felt it was all over when the penalty went in is shocking. In a league which is known for every team being capable of taking points off the others, to say that with 23 minutes plus injury time left shows that he shouldn’t have been put in charge last night. His negativity and resignation that we’d lose transferred itself well to the players. Pay him off ASAP.

For the history books it's nice to say he managed us but let's hope it's only for this 1 match, at least for the very foreseeable future.

I wonder what the line up / formation would have looked like had everyone been fit?
In all honesty we just don't have the quality to make much of a fist of things
I was expecting / hoping for 4 4 2 but losing BMI and Edwards probably put paid to that ides.
Let's see what he puts out Saturday, assuming some of the sick notes recover, although I would guess even Rory doesn't want to manage this lot for too long

The guy been in management all of 10 minutes, only able to "learn from" literally the worst stoke manager ever. Given a squad with no confidence or moral from NJ toxic arrogant throwing under the bus and constant taking credit for everything. and to top it off given 48 hours to make changes when the players ha been given time off (no idea how NJ considers the little hours the players work pro)
All that considered I can't give any less than a 5.

To be fair to Rory it appears he was forced into the formation given Bruno was ill. Several other players out too. I know many detest him but MacLean should play left wing back ahead of Ward every time. Jimmy put three cracking crosses in when he came on Ward showed he is past it again Smith doesn't get any better - surely he was better, miles better, for Huddersfield?

I don't understand his "four hours" remark. If Jones was fired on Friday - Why only four hours?
If he was sacked on Wednesday - even more so, why only four hours?
Even if Neil had been signed, he wouldn't have had time to get to grips with the team.
