I know he hasn't been in the matchday squad for the christmas/NY fixtures. Definitely didn't need to be anywhere near that Tranmere pitch.

Any ideas when he might sneak in again? I remember he came on a few weeks ago but has disappeared since. Can't wait to see him come back but obviously needs to be managed and better being cautious.

He will be playing got the u23s I think

Suspect that's right Nick
Reckon we'll play our strongest team at Bristol to try to keep the momentum going

When ever we have a pitch that has no bobbles on or a team that isn’t rough

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

He’s got to be risked at some point but while the team are performing there’s no need to rush back. Sub appearances I’d do for now to get minutes in his legs. Forget U23s he needs to be in the thick of the action where points are at stake

Try telling jones that he’s only got few months to secure a contract lol but yes I agree we have no immediate need to rush

The lad was desperate to play against Wycombe but wiser heads prevailed

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Difficult to start JJ when the team is flying. If we can get a few goals up in games though, it would be ideal to give him increased game time from the bench. Easier for him when the team is performing well. Win, win.

I think we will definitely give him a contract.

Also he probably would feel some sort of loyalty/affinity with us with all the treatment etc and sticking by him so i'd imagine this is probably a done deal even if just a short one.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Would be harsh of us not to offer him a one year extension.

Any word how he’s been in training mate

Yes defo a 1 year extension with another year in our favour after that

Flying apparently

 

[chiefdave]

Can see him being on the bench this weekend.

 

[shmmeee]

Stick him on when we go 4-1 up

Last 15 whatever the score. I don’t think he’ll change any of the team or the subs personally.

 

[cc84cov]

I think he needs a good 3-5 under 23’s 90 mins first

You’re probably right

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Not sure he would fit the formation right now sadly

A fit Jodi Jones probably needs to be found a spot if he’s at the level he was at.

 

[TTG]

He said on his Instagram story that he lost his fitness because of christmas/new year as he wasn't playing any football cause of u23s so hopes to be back in the squad at the weekend and onwards.

Also thinks he his 100% better/stronger than he was last season/league 2

 

[cc84cov]

Shipley or westbrooke role he would be perfect in,we would probably see a better jones in that position with freedom

 

[vow]

Can't see JJ in a central midfield or a number 10 role tbh.
He's a winger imo and reckon we should keep him there until fully fit and needed in a 4-2-3-1, which you know we ain't playing atm

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Jodi Jones the Supper sub could be the "icing on the cake" between now and the end of the season.

Sky Blues boss reveals plans for out of contract players

This should put minds at rest, one year option in the club's favour for Jones, Westbrooke, hiwula and Baka. I imagine we will at least take up the year for Jones and Westbrooke (probably give them both more than that though) and probably not on the other two

 

[robbiekeane]

Any ideas when he might start to get in the first team?

Imagine being able to bring on him and O Hare later in the game

I think Better Days suggested he will be involved this season. I would almost rather he waited until next season now. With Giles and Hiwula in (and us not playing wingers) then I don’t think we need to rush him

In his i/v for Saturday's programme, Jodi suggested he was in no rush to get back in if it meant that he could simply take joy and happiness from actually being able to train. Spoke of dark days during the months of the second acl. (I've heard that Jodi's whole warm up to games (U23s) has completely changed.) From comments from Robins made here and there in the past, I think Jodi has possibly pushed back a little on Robins wanting to see him back sooner rather than later.

I think we are saving him for the final push last 10-12 games

He's keen to be back in the first team scene but he's essentially having his pre-season at the moment
Reckon we'll see him on the bench before long

It's a mouthwatering prospect really, having him and/or O Hare coming on to rip tired defenders apart. Especially if he can play that sort of CAM position.

I reckon he can definitely play there. It's a fairly free position and would allow him to drift out wide as well, he could do very well there.

As long as he can do the defensive side
