You think it'd be ridiculous to not extend the contract of a player who been out injured for the best part of three years, had three really serious injuries to a part of his body that are integral to his style of play and hasn't really been tested above L2 level?

Taking emotion out of things completely - do we really know that? He looked like one of our best players in League 2.

He looked good in League 1 in the 15-16 and 16-17
I agree with the above. Hopefully Jodi Jones will be back before the end of the season to show what he can do. Realistically though he will need a lot longer so I hope the club give him the opportunity. He is someone with special talent and, longer term ambassador qualities.
Translates as good in league 2 and replies to fans on social media. 3 knee injuries sadly mean he isnt worth the risk

What risk? He’ll be on bugger all.

Ambassador qualities - is he the next Henry Kissinger? Dear me
Haven't you ever heard of club ambassadors before?
Not sure why you feel the need to negate any positive comment. Obviously sarcasm gives you pleasure. Sad.

He is apparently very good with the JSB/Community projects etc and at ease with meeting fans and talking to them.
Not that that's reason enough to offer him a new deal as a player.

Shipley came on today and took possession on the left, fresh legs with the opportunity to take on his man, but no, lazy early ball that amounted to fuck all. Hugely disappointing and he has slipped down the pecking order big time recently. Jamie Allen not too far behind him either.

Allen is one of the few players in the squad with Championship experience and has done well recently.

I think Allen had a good game to be fair

Shipley though has been shocking since we made the step up to the Championship its like he is a whole different player because last season he was one of my favourites to watch

Yeah it’s ridiculous to point him out for criticism while failing to hold other players to the same standards.

I didn't think Allen was particularly good today but to be fair to him he is probably not match sharp again because of how he is used but at least he gets stuck in and did have a possible chance of scoring if it had been passed to him, can't remember who from though

Shipley is hiding. Fact. Don goodman said it, he's just come on. 3 against 3 and instead of stepping up and attempting something he chickened out and played a shite 30 yard ball out of play.
His confidence must be absolutely shot but if needs to try otherwise might as well not bother. The space that was oppeninng up end to end bapaga surely would have been an option

I'd only offer deal to Hyam, Fadz & Kelly. In reality, if we are to progress, they should all be looking at dropping down into backup rolls. If we can sign Ostigard, I still think we need at least 1 more centre back.
I wouldn't offer Jones a new deal, mainly as he now hasn't played regularly for 3 and a half years and we'd probably have to loan him out for half a season/season at the level below to get him up to speed and get the confidence back into his body.
We lack pace through the side, especially in the final third.

Not saying I necessarily disagree with releasing Jones, happy to leave that to MR & the medical team. The only thing I'd say is that Jones does give the team the potential pace down the middle that you've noted it currently lacks, given that before the season started he was being prepped for exactly that role. Giving him a cheapish contract could save the club a lot of money trying to find that elusive player. Guess a lot might depend on what league we end up in.

I thought he was our weakest player but I dont mean that as a slight on him because he played his part well

Match sharpness showed at times it’s his work off the ball which robins wanted yesterday he was box to box at times

He is a good L1 player and thats his peak unfortunately

He did have a good game, he closed down the opposition quickly, the only thing that let him down was his passing at times.

It’s possible, of course, that he will eventually develop into a Championship player. Unfortunately we’re just outgrowing him.

Biamou is a League 1 squad player yet some are clamouring for him to be offered a new deal.

People are saying bring in a new striker, one who is better than godden and walker and keep biamou on low wages for 4th choice for a team that only plays 1 up front.
We play 4 midfielders, after sheaf, Kelly, hamer and o'hare..we have Shipley and Allen.

haven’t we signed a 4th choice striker from Rochdale

I thought he was more a winger/attacking midfielder in a similar mould of jone, bapaga

We also have no idea if Godden will be able to recover sufficiently - I’ve never known any club consider a 30 year old as a 4th choice striker as opposed to a development player and continuing that by renewing a contract - have you?
