Coach Mark Jones has slammed Newcastles critics, declaring hes dumbfounded by attacks on his sides performances given their recent injury crisis.Jones was quick to share his dismay at the view of those whod written the Jets off as a poor team, using back-to-back wins as proof that they can turn it on when required.Friday nights 2-1 triumph over Adelaide and last weekends upset of Perth has coincided with the return of key personnel including captain Nigel Boogaard, Daniel Mullen, Andrew Nabbout and Morten Nordstrand.Jones argued it should be obvious those players would lift his side after seven winless rounds.Weve copped a lot of stick for the way we played early on, but we had five players out, Jones saidAnd even then we still tried to play football.Now weve got everyone back weve got better possession and composure - thats why you have experienced players in your side.Ive been very disappointed with some of the comments when we have five players out and were copping flak.Its not rocket science; you get your experienced players back in, you play better.It dumbfounds me.Jones will soon have a full compliment at his disposal with Finnish striker Aleksandr Kokko set to be back for the Boxing Day clash with Wellington.At least until Saturday night, the Jets are sixth and could spend Christmas there depending on other results.Theyll be motivated to continue their climb up the table, but Jones said the team drew more confidence more from winning.The wins more than the position has made us confident, he said.To win three in a row would be magnificent.It just takes us up the table further and (prompts) more reflection that a team from Newcastle can do well.Ive always said they can and I dont cop that Sydney or Melbourne or anyone else is better than us.We play good football, we can beat anyone.

PITTSBURGH -- James Conner is well aware every running back only has so many carries in his body. And for all hes given to Pittsburgh over the last four years, coming back for one more go around couldnt outweigh the chance to see if he can make it as a pro.Running backs already have a short lifespan, Conner said Monday. Wish I could have done more (at Pitt) to be honest, team wise, better records and stuff. I feel like Im ready. Thats my dream, going to the NFL and Im just asking for the opportunity.The ACCs all-time touchdown leader initially planned on putting off a decision until after Pitt (8-4) meets Northwestern (6-6) in the Pinstripe Bowl next week but opted to announce it earlier this month so he wouldnt be a distraction to the teams 19 seniors. Besides, the 21-year-old already had his mind made up, though that didnt keep coach Pat Narduzzi from making one last plea.He didnt want me to leave, Conner said on Monday. Hes saying all the `could bes.Not that Narduzzi put up much of a fight. Hes well aware of the path Conner took to get to this point. Conner hoped to make the jump to the NFL last year but a torn MCL in his right knee in the 2015 season opener and a very public battle with Hodgkin lymphoma last winter. Conner underwent months of draining treatment but returned in time for fall practice and gained strength as the seasoon wore on.dddddddddddd. He finished with 1,060 yards rushing and 20 total touchdowns to push his career total to 56, the most in ACC history .The 2014 ACC player of the year appeared to get stronger as the season wore on. He topped 100 yards rushing in four of Pitts final five games, including 132 in an upset of Clemson on Nov. 12. Yet hes still aware hes got plenty to prove between now and the 2017 NFL draft in late April. Its why he had no interest in skipping the Panthers bowl game, something LSUs Leonard Fournette and Stanfords Christian McCaffrey are doing to avoid risk of injury.I just feel like Im going to take advantage of it really, showing the scouts Im back to my normal self and that I can compete at a high level after everything Ive been through, Conner said. Im playing, thats all I know.Just where the 6-foot-2, 240-pound Conner goes is up in the air. He said hes been unable to avoid draft projections -- most of which have him going in the middle to late rounds.I only need one team out of 32 to like my film, he said. Ive got to prepare myself for a good 40-yard dash time. Its up to me how far I get drafted.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
