    Jones' team selection

    This isn't a thread to have a go, by the way. Jones deserves the same slack cut as any interim manager coming in under difficult circumstances.

    But, his team selection was rank. I guess he would argue that it worked because we got an away point at a decent team but by the sounds of it, they should have scored 3 or 4 at least.

    If Bruce had put that team out we'd have been going off it and it was a big shock to see it because, like most on here, I was expecting a more attacking lineup and strategy. It just made me wonder if our view of Jones' relationship with Bruce was way off the mark. Based on the players he played and what he's said about Bruce going, maybe they were actually on the same page after all?

    I mean, I wouldn't go as far as to say it was a sort of two-fingers to Bruce's detractors but, even though it was only one game, today was a bit of an eye-opener...
