  • Dave Jones

    On a podcast recently stating Barnsley was our cup final in 2008. No mention of him bottling it with Ramsey but if that with his mindset at the time no wonder we never got over the line with anything

    Full of self preservation excuses for why we never got promoted as well

    I was a big fan of Jones, but not playing Ramsey from the start of that FA cup final was criminal.
    He ran the show against Middlesborough in the Qtr final.

        Underachieved.

        The players he had at his disposal should have given us an automatic promotion.

          I watched the podcast a few days ago. 2 hours or so.

          He got an awful lot of factual stuff wrong about his time here but some good bits also.

          Not a huge fan of under the cosh as it's normally just about players being drunk but a slower pace to this one.

          He says he's desperate to get back in the game as a sporting director. Can't see that being any time soon mind.

              Not a great lover of Jeff Stelling either. Pure hatred from DJ in reference to Stelling

                The players at his disposal were at his disposal because he found them. He turned us from a mid table (at best) team to one where we expected promotion. And his team was the most exciting one to watch in my lifetime, except maybe the 1993 team

                  Think he was a pretty decent coach with an eye for a player but his attitude to fitness didn't seem to be where it should have been, hence his good sides choked towards the end of a season.

                    He didn't find all of them by any means. The much-maligned Peter Ridsdale was responsible for finding a good percentage.

                        Weren’t Falkirk in for him as well? I remember the Falkirk fans booing him on one of our Scottish pre season tours.

                          netball or football ? ?

                          he let the players do what they wanted in training, if they didnt fancy it, no drama

                            That was the old-style managers. The game has moved on a lot since then; it's completely different. BBMs' professional standards will be miles higher.

                              indeed, the old school approach has long gone, even at National league south you have S&C coaches and analysts
