Haven't we just spent 4 million on a winger?
Sure Jones is looking good in league 2, but it's only a matter of time until his plastic knees go again.

I guess he's just happy to be playing after what he's been through
Clubs will be wary of signing him because of his injury record so probably his best option is to stay with Notts and hope they continue to progress
A few of our L2 players did that here and look where we are now. It's easy to forget how bad things were here before Robins came in
Notts are a decent club with a good fan base and appear to now have good owners

It’s a non starter anyway, he’s under contract and they’d want £1m+ for him. He’s also 26 with two ACL tears.
I did make a comment a while ago saying we should bring him back but I thought people would see through it as the joke it was!

id love watching him do Jodi Jones things in L2, but hes not a champ/prem player
theres numerous players that are class in the lower leagues, and very few make it to the top (Vardy etc)

Jodi is a proper talented player, two-footed and intelligent, and I certainly thought he had potential to play a couple of levels above in his early days with us. His progress was ruined by those horrible injuries, but he's clearly delivering again now. IMO the only question marks over his ability to play in the Championship would be around fitness/speed/strength/mobility, and I'm not sure how anyone on here (including me) can be certain about those things. Given the lengthy spells out of the game, he might not yet have reached full potential.

He owes it himself to be at a place where he’s gonna be main man and not a bit part, and we owe it to him to not take the piss and buy him to play him once in 3

Did Robinson just never take to him, or was there a falling out?
Oxford fans seemed confused by his lack of minutes.

Robinson targets individual players to keep the rest in line
He did it to Dan Agyei, another of our former loanees
Jones and Robinson share the same agent
There was a suggestion that he targeted Jones after a minor fallout with the agent
Jones got out on loan as quickly as he could
Robinson is a notorious piss head and bully

Pisshead and a bully? Does he post on here?.....

Explains why he pops up on TalkSport a fair bit. Criteria for being on there seems to be 'drinks a lot, has free time'. Pint of wine vibes.

20 assists from 8.5 xA, mental! I hope he manages to get a good move out of it as it’s unsustainable in the long run.
@Frostie, have you seen an over performance like it?

Off the top of head no, not to that extent with such large numbers. Ollie Watkins has 10 assists from 3.2 xA this season though.
xA has become way more complex nowadays, used to simply be the xG of a shot assigned to the passer but that's obviously way too basic & flawed so a pass doesn't even need to result in a shot now to be credited with xA.
Delighted for Jodi, he's absolutely tearing it up with Notts now. Although it's doubtful he'll be knocking on the door of Leeds again soon, he's carving out a tremendous career for himself again which takes some real mental strength as much as physical after what he's been through.

Although not calling for him to come back, if he'd still be our player this season it'd have made a massive difference with Sakamoto's injury

Atm, our options out wide for next season is Sakamoto, EMC and Wright. Really, having JJ as a filler is a waste of a signing.
Happy for JJ to get his career back on track, but top L2 performers are not guaranteed to make the step up to Championship.

Based on what? He's not had a run in the side because our expensive front two are performing. In the recent cameo appearances he's looked pretty decent, arguably our best player Saturday although that wasn't difficult.

The lad needs to play, Notts has been great for him. I think he could definitely do a job at our level but it's a huge jump in standard. Could be a bit of an error going to a Championship team as he'd likely be a squad player. Staying where he is the main man or moving up 1 league and building on his form and people will notice. No rush

Great to see him doing well, and if County don't go up, I wouldn't be surprised if he moved on, but if he came here, it would be a waste for him. He's probably be 4th choice winger, and he needs to be playing regularly.... One club that could have an opening for him, would be Pboro once EMC comes here

Was thinking p'boro too...a very attacking team would suit him, and his numbers would probably be just as impressive.
