I've been really impressed with him when we've played you and I can't see how the lad could lose his place to somebody like Jordan Turner who's too inconsistant.

He won't...

Josh Jones has never let us down and with a bit of space he causes problems due to his size and strength. The worry I have with Jones is his lack of pace at Centre. I think he needs a quick winger outside him and we need some pace on the other side to counter it as he's the type of player that needs half a yard of space to push people off.

He showed a bit of pace when he made the break in the second half.

Turner didnt even make the 17 last night due to the form of young Crooks and would be amazed if he played against Hudds next week.Sts are replacing 1 bad 1 in shenton with a worse 1 in Turner.

Shenton has improved since he got his move back to cas. He looking more dangerous with the ball.

It should be pointed our that shenton chose to leave and asked saints for the move.

Not according to his interview in the programme. He said it came completely out of the blue and that he thought he'd spend the rest of his career at Saints. Once he heard about the interest and that Saints were willing to let him go, he realised it would be the best thing for his family due to the travelling.

Another ridiculous move from McManus IMO, he's clearly better than Turner, which was just another stupid impulse buy because McManus saw him make that gallop down the pitch to score at Langtree Park.

Sounds like a soundbite the club would want the fans to hear. No coincidence his form returns just after he re-signs with his hometown club.

If he wanted to leave, why would the club not put that instead? The bit about him thinking he'd be here for the rest of his career is obviously cheese for the fans ears, but he very much makes out that he was pushed rather than walked.

His return to form could be just as easily linked to his confidence returning after his injury? After an arm break/dislocation it takes a long time to really trust it again.

If he was staying you would be moaning about how his big salary restricts us in the transfer market and how he has been a waste of money.
