To make a definitive assessment on his ability, or lack thereof?
At the start of last season, of the two of them, PVA was probably the worse of our fullbacks and yet everyone seems perfectly happy with him now.
Kaboul was useless and a liability at the start of the season, too.
Even Kirchhoff was the worst player we'd ever signed after 22 minutes, or so.
The three aforementioned got a decent run in the side when it was full of confidence, towards the end of the season. Jones wasn't afforded that luxury so we can't possibly know how he would have reacted to playing as part of an organised defense.
The SMB, it seems, has decided, though.
Me? I'd like to see the lad at least have a few consecutive games in pre season before dismissing him.
