Nope, would rather have Manny Duku back and another forward to come in.

Unless we replace his goals, no.

As a back up I think I'd rather have Duku
If we can't extend Barnetts stay I'd keep Jones, but would rather have Barnett and Duku in our squad than Jones.

Yup. Close to 10% of our League goals, and more if you include the assist for winning the penalty. And without the points those won us we would be bottom.

Simple policy really; only replace a player if the replacement is better. (Or likely to better - you never know how it will work out.)

Use some of the money from the cup runs to get in a better option.

I think the query was with your original sentence. I think in relation to the original question, your answer should have been yes, and not no.

I would definitely extend Sam Jones’ contract.

He had a bad press off CTFC fans earlier in the season, when he was clearly not fully fit or match fit, having only played a handful of goals in 2017/18. Our forwards were getting no supply at that time and he cut a frustrated figure, in my view, understandably so.

He is a goalscorer at this level, and they don’t grow on trees. We would be crazy to let him go.

I saw enough passion in the lads face when he won the penalty that Conor Thomas converted when Cheltenham beat Grimsby 2-1 recently, to show there’s a committed player there, and given a chance, he will bang the goals in for us.

Most of the bad press was for his stupid sending off at Oldham in a match we could have at least got a point in, but he's gone some way to making up for that and the other games in the last two.

Everyone deserves a second chance and I think the lad has potential. I would definitely keep the loan going for as long as possible.

It's very odd - we'd been assured he had been "frozen out."

Maybe Global Warming has had an effect and there has been a thaw at Whaddon Road.

I did dispute the "frozen" story at the time.The usual suspect wrong again.

....Duku subbed off at half time for Barnet today
...to be replaced by Byron H.
Would still have him back as a good impact option though.
