Dave Jones: Felt for Wednesday's travelling supporters

Dave Jones: Felt for Wednesday's travelling supporters

Wednesday were beaten 2-0 at the home of their League One opponents and missed the chance to set up a fourth-round trip to QPR.

And Jones felt both referee Lee Collins and his strikers were guilty of being too timid.

He said: "He allowed (Dons midfielder) Alan Smith to run the game. At the end of the day he might as well have given the whistle to Alan, because he ran the game.

"I just thought it was too big a game for him. He lost it somewhere along the line and that can happen, so he's had a bad day at the office."

Of his team, Jones said: "We didn't really get many shots in on goal and that was disappointing because we saw plenty of the ball.

"But we didn't seem to want to shoot and that's not like us. We had more than a few chances to get the ball into the box but ended up almost passing it back to the goalkeeper. We need to be more forward thinking.

"I'm disappointed to go out of the cup because we had a chance to go through and the side we put out was good enough to win the game. And I really felt for the fans behind that goal who came all the way down here."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!

hat is arguably the least inspiring England I have ever seen. There is not a single name in that list that makes me think I might actually want to watch this team. Not a one.
