    I'm sure most of you have seen it in the T&A, if not, seek it out. Jones speaking about the characters we had in the team. Why am I not surprised by this comment ?
    "Andrew Davies, an absolute nut job, it was just a brilliant mix."
    But aside from all that, it seems clear that our current crop don't seem to have that same sense of being.

    Mods: feel free to relocate this if not deemed City Talk.

    Isn't Paudie that character now? He's headstrong, doesn't give a toss, and loves to mix it up.

    Callum Cooke's a moaning bazza, but clearly passionate; ROD might not be loved, but you can't pretend he doesn't have character; Andy Cook's a right goof and looks fun to be around!

    I mean... you can not like this squad, Tennessee, but I don't think it's fair to say there are no characters or whatever you meant by 'sense of being'.

    Anyway, good article, thanks for bringing it up, just thought the knock on the current crop was unfair. Bit like the nonsense about Adams not having a Plan B when quite clearly he does, and uses it any time we're not winning.

    You're probably right Jon, I have no idea about the characters in the current team but that's the thing, the Jones era team just seemed to radiate character.

    I think they're just legends and revered as heroes.

    I'm not sure they're massive characters - but it's interesting Jones says there wasn't a bad lad in that dressing room. I believe that, as Parkinson seemed to put professionalism over ability at times, which is absolutely fair enough in my view.

    I love that team, always will, that season things just worked on a whole other level for us. Awesome times.

    Let's hope for more, mate!
