No wonder he was knackered, they gave him the ball to run with at every opportunity.
No wonder he was knackered, they gave him the ball to run with at every opportunity.People have to understand how hard it is to come back from serious injury and get match fit
U23 games are better than nothing but not by much
It's the resilience that's hardest to regain
Look at Jones
He's come on twice and livened things up but ran out of steam within minutes and was struggling to get up and down
It will come but the only way is by doing the hard yards
I've just picked that name back up for you ;-)Fair enough. Tommy Widdrington told me about what a player he'd be tbf, I tend to believe there's more to come and as a 30 year old his recovery is slower. Let's hope so anyway
On the ball in the wrong areas ?! He's either a player or he isn't !
What happened to the having Andreu & Jones back will be like signing 2 new players posters?
the tactics are dissapointing not andreu. dont tell me andreu wouldnt be immense under bielsa at leeds for e.g
not saying robins needs to go 100% free flowing but our football is turd to watch
hes not match fit yet, its nothing more than that imo. big injury he came back from. More he plays better he will get if we play style of football that suits him. passing on the ground. he will never be a super athlete but hes no worse than shipley who always seems off pace yet is heralded on here for being a hard workerBiesla’s teams are built around an intense press including the forward players. How do you come to the conclusion he would be immense for them in a division higher but not for us if his fitness levels are being questioned?
Opposing fans (and managers) don't have as low an opinion of Jones as some on hereWhat happened to the having Andreu & Jones back will be like signing 2 new players posters?
In the off-season I was wary whether Andreu would be the same this season and got the odd know-it-all thinking my opinion was utterly unfounded. Not that I revel in Andreu's demise but.... I told you so. Suffering an ACL tear when you're knocking on the door of 30 for many would be career ending so he's lucky he's even out on the pitch. Fingers crossed he can get back to where he should be fitness-wise but I have serious reservations. We don't have time to wait for a player to get fit all season in the hope they may have an impact....not unless we want to catch Joe Coleitus again.
Andreu I guess has been disappointing. I still think that he might still come good. It's a long time to come back from. I'm hoping he's just taking longer than others as no one recovers the same way.
Jones is literally just back into the fold. Give him a chance!
Hey, I was only criticising the unfounded optimism often shown by fans in pre-season, not the players themselves.
Jones definitely has a way to go with fitness, Andreu has not exactly set the world alight.
Haha, fair one. I did cringe internally while posting itI've just picked that name back up for you ;-)
Of course he hasn'tHave you seen either?

It usually helps to have seen them play though to form an opinion. Nothing worse than the types who discuss films they have never seen based on something they saw on social media.
Jones is quality but when/if fully fit I expect him to be SISUs next cash inOpposing fans (and managers) don't have as low an opinion of Jones as some on here
Have a look at the comments on a Pompey fan's report from the link below

Has it actually been a demise. He looks the same as the few games we saw last season
