Must have slipped away early.His motor had gone after the final whistle.

He watched the whole match from the tunnel with Armand, who I saw walking through the car park before 5pm. Other than thinking that he looked a bit down, I thought nowt of it. I doubt if PC wants non squad players in the dressing room afterwards and he had his nice clean suit on.

Armand was stood in his suit having photos taken with people outside the CFC Village at about 5:40pm, before going into the village

Jones has been poor defensively all season. Even in attack he doesn't seem to be able to deliver a decent cross which I was under the impression was what he was most capable of.

Started the season pretty well but doesn't make the grade as a regular starter in a top half side league one side i'm afraid

Defensively he looked to be under orders to tuck well into the centre to add some speed to the slow central defence, and that always left the winger a lot of room - which doesn't appeal to the fans. Otherwise he looked a decent defender, and up to L1 standard.
Drew seems to be coping OK with the same system though.

Drew has performed better in that position since coming back from his loan move. Always felt Drew to be a much better winger than a defender but doing well at the moment, especially from a positional sense as this was always his main weakness when playing at right-back prior to Tendayi being moved there

Two points here. Firstly the lack of positional sense is a myth.

Secondly, your comment implies Tendyi is a better right back than Drew when, in fact, the jury is out.

Talbot's better, simple as that.

Agreed, pal.

We have not had good value out of Jones and, ideally, should move him on before next season.

Bonnyman stole it to take Armand back to France. Armand's so grateful he's arranged for Bonny to turn out for his local Sapeurs Pompiers football team on loan.

Tendayi is a better right back than Drew...defensively and offensively. I really struggle to see why anyone would see otherwise!

And I am a big fan of Drews...but he is much better for me in an attacking position (right wing mainly). Our season in league one is a good an argument for showing why he should not be wasted at right back. Saying that hes stronger than Jones there and that goes a long way considering its Jones' primary position

...and yet when I first saw Jones at Leyton Orient on the opening day of the season he was skinning the right back every time and getting in some great crosses. I thought we'd signed a really good player who was going to make a significant contribution.

He can skin full backs and get good crosses in with regularity - the issue is that he is equally liable to be exposed at the other end.
