Could do worse than bring Jones back to compete for that left forward role. We're bringing on Dasilva to play there at the moment.

Looks like they are largely from open play as well which makes it more impressive.

His technique is elite level. IMO he’d have had a PL career if he’d stayed injury free.

Yes and if he hadn't had the injuries and was still with us he would be one of our best players. Can't help wondering if we could get him back.

I’d worry that he’s physically not quite at it. Looks to have adapted his game though, and clearly is above the level he’s playing.

He was by far the best player in the league before his injury.

I suggested we kept Jones on the basis of loaning him out. Got laughed at.

We sunk a lot of money into keeping him on and rehabilitating him. Was an odd decision to just write it off. His attitude seemed right and he wouldn’t have needed huge wages.

Sunk cost, low cost risk with a big potential upswing? Odd to let him go. Maybe a formation thing. Anyway.

Slightly different subject:

Would a chasing L1 club or struggling Champ club throw half a million at NCFC right now? I can see someone taking a punt.

When do our fans stop calling for the return of ex players…

Jones is doing well and fair play to him for rebuilding his career but he is playing in league 2

We are aiming for top 6 of the championship with half an eye on the prem.

Move on

If he had been kept on I think he'd have been a good player to have around the squad, and useful in the formation.

But as he's not I'm not going to be beating the drum for his return.

The question is those fans have to ask is - would you have Jones over Wright. I personally wouldn’t

Was going to post this. Won't stop fans jumping in the next young kid tho

Always use the excuse of well he ain't good enough right now lol

Which would be fine if talking about the team but usually it's posters saying the actual player is crap when they clearly ain't

I popped to a local non-league game last night, Maidenhead United v Ebbsfleet United both fighting for Vanarana National survival.

It ended 1-0 to Ebbsfleet, and the match winner? Our old loanee Dominic Samuel!

Ebbsfleet had some good players of yesteryear too! Dominic Poleon (ex-Leeds) and Jordan Ibe was an unused sub!

It was poignant moment watching that game because it got me thinking that 6 season ago we were only one league above that!

It was my first non-league football experience, it was a terrible standard but a good craic! Would 100% go again!

Jeez didn’t realise Samuel dropped that low. I remember being disappointed that we didn’t get him on a permanent at the time.

Jordan Ibe is a peculiar case too.

He was a £15m player once upon a time and at 28, he was an unused sub at a struggling 5th team. It’s wild.

Likewise, Samuel was on the bench for Fleet. He’s only 29!

Looks like the new Forest Green manager is trying something new with Dabz Good luck to the guy, his pace will certainly help in those forward areas.

Watching it at the moment, he's ambling around the pitch mostly.
