Solid performance got the job done most important thing after a poor run of results.
That’s the best Jones has played for NI, great shift.

Was impressed with Jones, best player on the park for me.
For being the best player against Estonia?This thread has a lack of the “Jones is shite”posters.
Wonder why??

We need better than Jones IMHO
Estonia are as good as some of the teams in the SPL that we struggle to break down time and again.
Means nothing, Davis looked like a world beater for N.Ireland pre Xmas but has hardly kicked a ball since signing for us.
Needs a run in the team.

Won't disagree with that mate, wasn't slating him, just saying that what happens in international games is irrelevant to a players performances for us.
I was desperate for Davis to come back based on 2 or 3 N.Ireland performances but so far its proved a disappointing signing.
Not giving up hope and as you say a run of games for us will hopefully do him good.
Although Jones played well I don't think he is good enough.
He plays well for killie as the opponent's don't sit in. I don't think he has the ability to unlock a defence. He has done well against us in a couple of games when Tav has been caught up the park.

I'll give him a chance like everyone we sign but I've just never seen anything from him to suggest he was worth pursuing.We need better, more patient supporters than you IMHO
These 2 competitive internationals will be good for Davis and Lafferty, much needed.
I thought Davis was decent against Kilmarnock and looking a lot sharper. We won’t see the best of him if he doesn’t play regularly that is for sure.
Was at the match tonight and I thought Davis was excellent. He looked really sharp. Great to see.
I'll bite. Hes looked poor v us one goal apartThis thread has a lack of the “Jones is shite”posters.

Maybe he is better thsn I thought.
Recently Kent has been poor but he can beat a man. It actually seems Jones pace could be useful though against 9 and 10 behind the ball time will tell. It also looks like he can fire in good crosses, something I hadn't really saw from him.
Is he what we need? Not sure but proper judgement would be after he's had a few games for us and hopefully he may surprise us.
I was watching Barisic alongside Modric, Rakitic & Perisic.This thread has a lack of the “Jones is shite”posters.

People are concerned because its yet another poor signing who isn’t the standard required, to add to a long list.Jones was a free transfer so i really dont understand people saying they are worried and concerned, free transfer and low wages ! very small risk that may or may not pay off.
Nothing to get overly worried about, i doubt Gerrard is planning to build a team around him but he will prove to be useful throughout the season.
Perhaps he should be given a chance before writting him off as a poor signing, i don't think its a great signing but he will do a job in the spl and cost us nothing so its hardly something to get worked up over as many seem to be.People are concerned because its yet another poor signing who isn’t the standard required, to add to a long list.
I wouldn’t give a feck if we had a high success ratio in the transfer market or had a lot of money to fling about.

This is the major problem with us we fanny about and the ball often ends up going back the way.This manager knows how to make the most of Davis and Lafferty
I forgot what it was like to see an early cross into the box......
Mate, to be fair, you could say that about a thousand footballers.
I think the point is most of our squad are those types of players and now is the time to push on with big, quality signings. And the collection of mediocre non-scoring wide men in a persistent 433 just seems very bizarre
Agreed we need better quality in terms of starting every week but he's a better player than Candeias for me. Certainly a lot more dynamic player than him and with better players around him at Ibrox hopefully he can start adding more goals to his game.
We just have too many wide men already mate, I don’t see the need in bringing in anyone average there. He might be better than Candeias (I don’t think he is), but we gave a new contract to DC last year. Not to mention the Grezda signing. If we didn’t have one of those, or one was leaving in the summer, then I sort of get it.
The only one who looks to be leaving is Kent. And he is better than Jones.
We'll be looking to move a few on in the summer there's no doubt about that. Possibly easier said than done but guys like Grezda if they do well for their countries will attract a bit of interest. We might need to take a little bit of a hit on what we paid but when you sign so many players in the one go there's always going to be quite a few who don't work out.
Fwiw I would bet heavily on Kent still being here next season.
Of course we need much better than him, we need to spend proper money on players for the 1st 11, all im saying is he was a free transfer so its hardly a massive risk.Mate, to be fair, you could say that about a thousand footballers.

I thought his performance against Kilmarnock suggests he has turned the cornerWell done norn iron all three Rangers men played very well. Hope that’s Davis turned the corner.
Man of the match in the last game just needs game time.Means nothing, Davis looked like a world beater for N.Ireland pre Xmas but has hardly kicked a ball since signing for us.
