I always thought it was crazy that people were so quick to write him off when in the past year we’ve seen the likes of Morelos, Kent, Tav, Jack & even Halliday all come on leaps and bounds under the management team. 

Much like they were, Jones is a bit rough around the edges in certain areas but he has a lot of good attributes and with some good coaching he could become a really good player

We’ve obviously signed him with the intention of working with him in training to smooth out those edges and we are already seeing that it’s starting to pay off.

 

I seriously have never known a forum to write players off before they kick a ball for us...Kent got the treatment last season as did Kamara.....even people questioned the logic in bringing in Defoe & Davis....this season so far it's been Jones, Hastie & Stewart who have been written off by many.....only when I see them play in a blue Jersey on a regular  basis will I judge them

Spot on.

This place has been full of folk back pedalling about Jones today.

[King Jela 20,383]

Another very good performance. 

[MarzM 1,250]

He played well today.

Then dont play him away from home in games when he wont have the space to use his pace.

Use an Arfield/Stewart or the likes in those games.

I think having different players suited to different games is required.

Buying a player with the combined abilities of both Arfield and Jones would probably set us back about £15m in today's market.

I agree, but for all the ones saying he'll be good etc, wait and see after he's been played out the game away to someone like hearts or Livingston

Likewise though the minute someone kicks a ball well for us, cunts are raving like fuck about them

To be fair the one RTV kept going on about was outside the box.

Agreed, embarrassing that they kept going on about it when it was clear that the hibs boy never once touched the box line at the foul

Agreed.....but how anyone can say certain players aren't good enough before they kick a ball for us is beyond me

If any team opens up against us he'll be fine, but when teams sit 11 men behind the ball away from home he wont have the space to use his pace, 

And likely wont be used.

Liked the look of Jones when he was first mentioned - prob this time last year. So glad we finally got him - I knew he was going to be good for us and I’m glad I was right 😛

Early doors, as had been mentioned,  but he’s certainly hit the ground running. 

[mchammer 245]

He has looked good ,and a good replacement for Kent.

Not saying either is better than the other but we have a player who is a good replacement.

You dont have to wait and see how he performs in an away game though.

He could be a big success for us and never play an away game for us ever. If he just plays at home and creates two assists per game, then he would be a massive success, especially if he goes on to help us win the league.

I am in no way saying that he has proven to be a great success yet, as it is still very early doors. His form might well dip and he could become shite, home and away.

I just understand your logic that for him to be a success that it has to fit the particular 'see how he does on a cold, wet night in Perth' argument.

I liked the boy at Killie tbh, thought he looked a player with big potential. Was happy to see him sign.

Young, talented international players like Jones and Kamara can potentially be molded into gems by our management team. Jones has started his Rangers career well, like Stevie says if he can find that level consistently we're onto a winner.

[orange&blue92 1,284]

Thought he was average at Killie,  but seeing him run at their defence when sitting in the broomloan was refreshing. Beating his man at ease and not one thought of passing it backwards.

Top performance

[Leighton loyal 334]

The expectations of playing for Rangers like so many players before doesn’t seem to faze him at all

I can’t really speak because  I’ve been quite negative about is signings Barker and he falls into this category too, but I think most of that frustration is that I wanted Kent back and he feels like a let down in terms of being an alternative.

[KaiserJon 12,406]

Very impressed so far. Gerrard seems to be able, with his management teams help, lift a player and get a level from them we did not necessarily think was there. Top stuff so far and onwards and upwards.

It’s one and a half games tbf. He’s had a good week, not going to start changing my mind just yet.

[GOAT 30,449]

He’s had two good games. Cunts need to calm down man.  Let’s see if he can keep it up.  Hopefully.

RM is like the needle on a lie detector going from the bottom of the page to the top then down again, truth is you don't get to be a pro footballer without being excellent ( how many guys did you play with that were brilliant but got nowhere?) its all about if they can up their game and find a regular level of consistency, the top quality guys can do it week in week out, and all we can hope is that our signings respond and up their game and keep it upped.

I got this guy wrong.....😲

[Rohan 23]

Great to see so much pace on the wings, gives defenders a lot to worry about before even touching the ball. Has a lot of potential with the right coaching

Big open pitches he has the pace to do something, he'll be murder against the likes of the sheep up north etc

played well n Denmark despite the fact they narrowed their not huge pitch by 4 yards
