Well, yes, understood But I have seen loads of 'highlights' with a lot less decent play in than those. But yeah, I take your point and am aware highlights can be deceptive. Having said that, some promising movement in the team and I agree with Sam GY that Burgess looked pretty useful, again, I wasn't there but the highlights gave the impression he contributed well


Take my word for it we played well. Should have been 3 or 4 and some of our football often in terrible conditions (which seems to be every week) for football is a joy to watch.

If we could get into the playoffs nobody would fancy meeting us.

Jones has played 18 League One games for Morecambe this season. He was recalled in January and played 2 games for Hull meaning he couldn't go on loan anywhere else in the EFL. Now that the window is closed too, his only option for regular football is at this level or in the U23s so it does look like a coup for us. Peterborough look like going down and are now managed by Grant McCann who I assume played him for Hull this season. At 20 years old and with proven League One ability, he fits the Peterborough business model so I wouldn't be surprised to see him go there in the summer. A few more Championship appearances would probably push that fee up a little bit. Based on his debut, I hope we can keep him here. He has the potential of a Wembley promotion on his CV at 20 if he stays here.

In what way have I gone over the top?

He's played in 20 league games for teams that are at least 2 levels above us this season which suggests he is a coup.
He's 20 years old, hungry for first team football and fits the Peterborough mould of buying them young with a view to turning a profit. Peterborough are now managed by the manager who recalled and brought him on as a last minute sub in January. Shota Arveladze also brought him on as a late sub in January.

His debut was decent and the only other alternative option in midfield is Giles Coke. Whilst we are in the play-off hunt, there is always that prospect of a Wembley appearance in June. I don't think I'm going over the top when I say that a Wembley appearance is a big deal for a professional footballer.

Jones reminded me of an Elliott Embleton type. Liked to get on the ball and rarely gave it away. What he has different though (with a slight frame) is he liked to get stuck in. Think his first touch of the game he clattered a sliding tackle out for a throw.
Think he will improve with more training, getting to know his teammates and more match fitness and I hope we can keep him until the end of the season.

On the game I felt we were deserved winners though should have had a goal or 2 up in the first half to make it more comfortable.

Still 3 points and a step closer to the play off hunt

When he got recalled by Hull, he had played in 18 out of 35 league and cup games for League One Morecambe.

The circumstances behind Jones' 20 games this season and Darren Mansaram in 2002-03 are completely different. Did the signings of Alex Hunt and Ryley Towler earlier in the season disappoint you by any chance?
