Early days, a player I rate.
He's been here for two full seasons - it's hardly early days. He's just not good enough and never will be.
Early days, a player I rate.
Google Brandon Barker and look at results from before he joined Hibs.What talent does Barker possess other than pace which he never seems to use ? I don't see any natural talent he does the same thing over and over again couple of step overs with the trademark pass back to Barisic or into midfield.
Anytime he's stepped onto the pitch he has looked shell shocked and way out of his depth and he has been been given chances by the management.
I don't see it with him some may do fair enough but he's another in a long line of squad players who we brought in and quickly found out to be mediocre and not good enough.
Fair enough mate, I'm not saying he has grabbed the opportunity.Middleton for me any day. He can score from a set piece and whilst not great he has some end product. Jones has done next to nothing for us and I can’t see what he offers at all. He constantly gives away, can’t pick or execute a pass to save his life and his shooting is abysmal!
He also wasn’t ‘highly appreciated’ down south. Even in League One he couldn’t hold down a starting spot and the Sunderland fans don’t want him back.
As stated above, Shop Window.Was quite surprised how long he got today, the drop off between Kent and Jones is enormous.
Still think we want another player in that position

Yeah that was the one that it seemed like the pass to `Hagi who was wider right would be played . That was more obvious .There was a moment in the 2nd half where young Kelly (what a player he is btw) received a pass and with one touch played a killer through ball to Jones who was on the edge of the box - Jones was static and by the time he realised the pass to him was on, it was too late, a waste of a very good ball.
He's not even good enough for Kelly never mind Rangers.
JJ is absolutely miles off it a little disappointing as I thought he'd have been a great signing when he came from KillieConsidering his previous I think he surprisingly had a lot of pre season minutes.
In said minutes he has showed again he is not good enough
Think the clock is ticking and cannot see him at the club in 2 weeks time
Wonder if is getting "shop window" minutes?
The hating on here for this young guy is beyond a fkin joke! Thank fk SG doesn’t listen to the pish on here. I’ve seen Kent, Jack, Goldson etc written off by the FIFA football mgrs of FF (and no, I’m not comparing Jones to any of them but Gerrard sees something.)
Barker is actually a far better player and has a football brain. Though he isn’t good enough either.Pretty much covered it in the match thread but I'll say it again.
Offers nothing to this team whatsoever
Wasteful in possession
Loses the ball repeatedly
Takes the wrong option time and time again
Barely takes a man on
Doesn't possess any basic or creative skills
Such a poor Footballer with very little ability (Pace is his only asset)
Same bracket as Barker in all honesty.
Jones is dross and needs to go.
Doesn’t help not playing for 5/6 weeks then getting the occasional 5/10 here and thereGoogle Brandon Barker and look at results from before he joined Hibs.
He was considered one of the best youth players in Europe and Pep Guardiola immediately put him into the senior team upon joining City.
He’s got more natural talent than most in our squad, he just has serious confidence issues.
Dug us out of a hole v Motherwell early last season something we couldn't do when he missed the game there at the end of the season.The hating on here for this young guy is beyond a fkin joke!

What he did at Man City is irrelevant he may have ripped it up at youth level and shown some promise but this is the now and he has done nothing in a Rangers jersey I'm afraid.Google Brandon Barker and look at results from before he joined Hibs.

I agree entirely, I just wouldn't insult the guy by lumping him in with Jones.What he did at Man City is irrelevant he may have ripped it up at youth level and shown some promise but this is the now and he has done nothing in a Rangers jersey I'm afraid.
And if he has serious confidence issues he is at the wrong club.
£10,000 a week we are wasting on him "Apparently"
He needs to go.
I also recall in our crucial away game against Midtjylland, JJ and Aribo were among our standout players.Dug us out of a hole v Motherwell early last season something we couldn't do when he missed the game there at the end of the season.
I say persevere with him.
What?.Dug us out of a hole v Motherwell early last season something we couldn't do when he missed the game there at the end of the season.

He looks “busy” and is confident, which are decent traits I suppose but at some point you have to come up with quality.I've never saw a player run directly into opposition players as much as this guy.
... yet for some reason, a certain Steven Gerrard picked that one player for 45 mins vs Tranmere and 69 mins vs Brighton in the 4 friendlies we`ve had.
It remains a mystery why there is so much animosity towards that player, an animosity that puts those levelled at Black and Barton to shame. Maybe sometimes people just need a sow that has to be twigged through the village, as we use to say over here.
Alas, it will be SG`s choice to make a decision on him.
I honestly didn't know he was on the pitch until about 60 minutes.Considering his previous I think he surprisingly had a lot of pre season minutes.

Middleton is a far better option than Jones. Bringing Willie Johnston back would be a better option than Jones
