Jodi Jones (11 Viewers)

[Liquid Gold]

Been reported in the s*n that he's signed a new deal

[better days]

Think that's correct

 

[Evo1883]

It’s beyond stupid to rehabilitate a player then let him go before he’s shown his ability. Why would you back him all the way up to him being fit again?

people going on like keeping Jones on means we won’t be able to sign someone. It’s nonsense.

To be fair even if he never played for us again, I think the club had a moral duty to get him back fit as he was Injured playing for them.
I personally think Robins will give him a chance once he's fit anyway

Edit : just seen that sun article post before mine

We knew it was only a matter of time & personally I'm delighted for him.

Not sure how The Sun have got in first on the story but they can't do anything without fucking up can they?

You have to admire the mental strength and determination over the last 3 years...

 

[fernandopartridge]

Good for the club, it isn't just benevolence as the club itself could benefit but nevertheless I think it's absolutely the right call.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Good decision from the club.

I'll certainly want to be there for when he makes his first appearance next season - hopefully at the Ricoh and in front of a packed crowd!

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Great decision by the club

 

[edgy]

Fingers crossed for the lad. Think it's a no brainer really. Won't be costing us much and has the potential to make an impact.

I read somewhere that the chances of re-doing your ACLs after they have been reconstucted are really slim. Surely those type of injuries are behind him now.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Good news, if it's true. This is from the Sun, so I'll wait to hear it from the club before I start celebrating.

I believe Robins said that the chance of reoccurrence is now no more likely than a player who had never suffered an ACL before which is really positive news.

So, fingers crossed he's now over the hill.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Excellent news. He looked deadly in pre-season and he’s exactly the type of exciting attacking player we’ve been crying out for.

 

[shmmeee]

I know someone sensible who knows what they’re talking about said September/Christmas time.

But love the idea of him coming back first game next season in front of a packed Ricoh. Even if just for a five minute run about so he can get a clap.

 

[Evo1883]

If we play the system we play, I'd imagine to begin with Jones will be used as a substitute for o hare?

 

[edgy]

Reckon he could play/compete in O'Hare's position?

Didn't Robins say he was ahead of schedule and that all being well he could potentially feature in a game setting (likely to be U23s) before the end of the season?

Hamer Kelly Walsh
O’Hare Walker Jones

Missed that. Hope so.

 

[Magwitch]

Good news and a good advert for us too shows we look after players unlike a number on here who wanted him out.

 

[Evo1883]

Hamer Kelly Walsh
O’Hare Walker Jones

I'd rather we played o hare behind walker and Godden

 

[Hobo]

Once fit I think I think he would benefit from a 6 month loan to a League 1 club at start of next season.

I found this a fascinating watch. Insight into how footballers cope with ACLs, few mental health tips and nice touches from Maddison and Wilson who both messaged him

I hope he's not over the hill yet

 

[tommy hutch legend]

well done Jodi be great to see him playing again we have no one at club with his style of play

He's done so well to get through it, it's so important we all speak out to someone when we're feeling shit.

CCFC/SBITC could do with sorting the sound though, that was hard to listen to.

 

[mark82]

How can he be better than a player whose played in the championship based on a couple of pre season games?

He could have been, you can't say for sure one way or another.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Hope it’s true. Don’t personally buy that he’s got better in absentia, he genuinely was (is?) a good player. You don’t need to see him playing in the Championship to know that he could be useful. He has that ability to take a man on and either cross or cut inside to shoot (Luke Thomas take note).

Given his presumed low wages, I can’t see why we wouldn’t offer him another year. It might be worth them managing his expectations should it recur though, because there does have to be a point where it’s not worth it (from both perspectives).

 

[cc84cov]

Maybe this was the news @better days was talking about ?

My mrs knows his mrs they’ve been looking at new houses adds up he’s been extended hopfully the injuries are behind him this time

 

[speedie87]

Happy he’s signed a new deal but ant see him playing in champ after 3 years out straight off, will need a loan till Xmas and then see where he is

After 3 ACL’s you would send him to league 1 football ?

He did - I was surprised by that

Normal rehab protocol would see game time at 9 months earliest as the new graft has to fully incorporate into the new tunnels that are drilled to house the ACL

That would be end of June for Jones so pre-season realistically

Given his history I’d have thought they would be ultra-cautious

But the medical team obviously know what they’re doing so great to hear he’s ahead of schedule

So you're saying if we're relegated, we loan him out to the division above...?

 

[chiefdave]

Robins revealed he hopes the player could be available before the end of the season.

Encouraging news about Jones. If he is ready to play before the end of the season assume it will be a run of U23 games, can't imagine he'd be thrown straight into a Championship relegation battle.

 

[Magwitch1]

Just sold his house
