Largely agree Jon but feel we need two midfielders as top priority and then one striker (plus Manny Duku back). If we have money we can add a winger to allow us to change shape but four or five players maximum please. Out can go Alcock, Field, Jones, Baldwin and maybe even Barnett if we can find a better target man.

Also didn't hear any booing of Hussey although I didn't hear anything at all from the Swindle fans until stoppage time.

I hear Shrewsbury are willing to let Jones go in January

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Shrewsbury want Jones but I've seen nothing so far to suggest we should take him off their hands. He's been a really poor loan.

Apart from his goals and assist keeping us off the bottom.

How many times have you seen him play? He's scored two tap ins for goodness sake and rarely breaks a sweat.

Tap-ins suggesting he gets in the right place at the right time to anticipate and tuck away rebounds. More than can be said for some of our attacking players the last two and a half seasons.

He put a shift in today.

Yes, his winning of the ball, driving away from players and sliding the perfect ball in for Hussey to cross for Tyrone’s goal.

Yes thought Jones had his best game for us today credit where it's due but he still needs to be moved on in the window. Tyrone on the other hand was immense and battered their defenders.

Duff said post-match that he spoken to neither Barnett or Jones about extending past their initial 6 months yet, but I'd be surprised if he lets either go after recent performances. Especially as Duff stood by Jones to an extent after most of us wanted him gone.
