Jones is a another prime example of this phenomenon - torn between two different objectives - guard your turf or attack the man with the ball. This imo is resulting in player confusion and our defence being all at sea, including creating mismatches. Combine that with turnovers in midfield and forward zones and pow! Disaster. Whether we can overcome this remains to be seen.

Your Jones description is spot on - was at last nights game and he looked confused when deciding between sticking on his man or leaving to attack a ball he thinks he can kill. I like his desire and efforts but those decisions cost us more goals then it saved last night unfortunately.
Its bloody hard to watch as our back 6 was one strength from the Bolton era and in a flash it seems to have turned to a shambles by what the club says is us trying to be more offensive and we need to get the balance right. Seems like poor coaching if in an attempt to score more you then lose your one strength.
Or is it simply a case of losing Doc which has hurt us more then we imagined?
