Careful, you'll be getting called out for having an opinion. I’ve always thought this about Jones. What has he actually shown other than being very fast? Other than a consolation against Norwich I don’t see where the hype has come from and add to that he’s always injured. Love to be proven wrong though! Thought it was just me 🪖 |

Feel free mate, we would all be happy if he comes good and I’d be the first to admit I’m wrong! Just from what I have seen I don’t understand what people are seeing to say he is any good |

I remember the clamour for his inclusion last season and then Breitenreiter started him against Stoke (his only career start in four years as a professional) and he looked like he'd won a competition to be there |

Earlier on the thread, someone (sorry can't remember who) mentioned that through Transfermarket valuations they thought that Hertha Berlin were playing their second string against Town and that they'd played their first eleven against Cardiff. Perhaps Hertha haven't sorted their squad numbers yet, but No 2,3,5,7,8,9,18 were playing for nearly all of the game against us. Also, our pressing seems to be getting organised rather than just ad hoc... and, what was Wiles doing in the six yard box for our second?. What he (and several others) should have done last year! |

Thought it was just me 🪖 Thought it was just me as well - I watch most things Town and thought I must somehow have missed some superb performances from him. I don't think I have, unless someone can please enlighten me. |

Injuries have hit him very hard. Difficult to get any consistency when you can’t play regularly. Quite a few posters have said this, me included, we need to have a fresh start. New, proven at this level, manager and new players coming in. Let’s look forward and not keep picking the bones out of how we have been. |

Towns opponents on Sunday (@noon) are Serie A side US Lecce who have a 38 man squad (inc 12 academy) in Austria & narrowly lost 2-1 to Turkish champions Galatasaray on Wednesday. They start their league campaign at home to Europa League winners Atalanta on Mon 19th Aug but play Ligue one OGC Nice (finished 5th) in a home friendly next (4 Aug)......Having beaten German Bundesliga Werder Bremen (finished 9th) 2-0 last week Town are up against strong outfit & our lads should face a stern test before heading home. Good. We’ll learn plenty. Just hope, when we get beaten as is most likely, that there isn’t a gross overreaction. Lecce are clearly a very good outfit, and should really stretch us even if they play a ‘weakened’ side. I expect MD to start with his strongest eleven tomorrow with a view to giving at least an hour working together, obviously other factors could come into play (ie weather/injuries). Lets hope we come through the next two friendlies unscathed (injury wise) having had a really strong test from the opposition & possibly decent results........Does Duff know his starting 11 with what we have at the moment? Does he play players looking for a move away (if any)? |

Headley being swept off down the river 🤣 He's gonna get ribbed for that forever. |

I like that video, is it just me though that thinks Hoggy would've preferred it if everyone just went on in budgie smugglers & no protective equipment?  |

I'd certainly be wary of playing Headley on a wet pitch.

Can't find it as don't have social media, but when Headley was at BPA he did his achilles dancing like an idiot in the changing room for a TikTok video.

Just from what I have seen I don’t understand what people are seeing to say he is any good He's got pace. That's literally it. Scored an absolute superb goal against…. (checks notes) Norwich. We lost the game but the goal was exceptional against strong opposition, which is probably why we feel like he’s capable of more. |

Get him in the team then in that case. To be fair they’ve been trying. He’s one of them who has been good when we’ve seen him for me. He’s properly pacy which is such a confusing proposition for a Town fan to take in. |

Have you been reading the last few comments regarding Headley? All I was saying was it isn't the first time he's been the laugh on a social media video. It was relevant to the current chat. So unless you're trying to start fish puns, shove your sarcasm up your haddock! 😁 |

Other than a consolation against Norwich I don’t see where the hype has come from and add to that he’s always injured. Love to be proven wrong though! Well the ‘consolation goal’ was dribbled from the half way line, taking on several man before a composed finish. Against a top six side. He can dribble at pace and go past players in small spaces. When the opposition defends the 18 yard box he can get in around the back. Obviously all based on little cameos but he has genuine potential. Unfortunately looks as though it won’t be realised because he’s too injury prone. |
