Would be good to hear a bit from JB about this guy, fitness wise etc. He obviously thinks he's worth punt.

Shame he’s made of glass though, faded badly when he started a few, the miss at Gillingham was horrible. As for Morgan Roberts I think he needs to think about a proper job and playing semi pro.

The one thing for me about Jones is what appears to be a lack of match fitness, now wether that was due to injuries being carried when he joined us or poor training management who knows?

It seems that Jones may be considered a bit of a gamble either due to injury proneness or general fitness, so whether he's given another chance may depend on recruitment this Summer.
In the case of Morgan Roberts, it looks like he's barely kicked on in the last couple of years, which is the only explanation I can think of for such a small number of appearances. Shame, because he was being touted at one time as potentially the most exciting of our youngsters.

I thought Roberts didn't look too bad when I saw him last season, he just needed to bulk up a bit, I assume that he hasn't?

No he hasn’t still looks about 14. I just think especially in L2 you need physicality, hence the pace and power sound bite. Unfortunately Morgan doesn’t have the power.

And this is why I fully expect Daniel Powell to be our first signing of the Summer, it’s just a shame about the end product. I agree with the physique comment regarding Morgan Roberts, like with McWilliams I don’t know why the youngsters haven’t been put on a weights intensive program so they can bulk up - that would be the first thing a Premiership or Championship club would do.

As demonstrated by Ivan Toney who has bulked up beyond recognition from the young lad who left us.

Absolutely, there is no reason at all why we can’t try to mirror weight and bulking up programs that Prem and Championship clubs use - I’m sure our physios and coaches would have access to the same kind of information that they do.

I think Roberts needs a manager to build him up and believe in him, not completely destroy him like KFC did after his mistake in the League Cup at Swansea 2 years ago.
It was absolutely disgusting the way Curle reacted, in the words of the Cardiff fan I went with "your managers a bit of a c*ck"

Like that idea and maybe we should get Carl Heggs back as a coach on aggression, as we need players to show some fight
