Mark Jones is a good player who should definitely have been on a contract, but there's no point blaming anyone now as what's done is done. We need to learn from this though and not make the same mistake again with other players.
For the sake of keeping supporters coming through the turnstyles, we need to keep our mathematical play-off hopes alive for as long as we can. To do that I feel we need to replace Jones straight away with somebody of equivalent standard. Looking at our subs' bench for the last match - Jordan Smith, James Reed, Jordan Nuttell, Charley Sanders and Ricky Drury - which of these players is ready to step up to the mark and replace Jones? This isn't a criticism of those players and there's definitely potential there, but I don't think we've got a finished article waiting in the wings to replace Jones. We need to address this as a priority.
