Hmmm, apparently not in a forgiving mood! Of course, as he left a couple of months before his 24th birthday we did get a fee for him, unlike his namesake James, or Moore or sundry others. Maybe not as much as he was worth, but that’s the fault of the system assessing the value rather than the player.

As to his keeping youngsters out of the side, we have two senior defenders out for a few weeks (Offord) and who knows how long (DNiels). With 2 games a week it’s asking a lot of TJ to play every time... and what happens if he gets injured? A certain creek with a certain implement springs to mind. I agree that he should be playing, but the manager has to get strength in depth... and Jones will also provide cover at CB, where we also look thin due to the aforementioned injuries and not much sign of Eddie Nolan.

However, I am delighted to see that the manager agrees with my post when ‘Boro recalled Walker and signed him up toute suite! We’ll see where he plays him, gaz!!!
