So with no new striker likely before Leicester 11:00 - Jan 19 with 3001 views

Is Burns an option up top?

He’s physical, can finish, certainly a better option than Broadhead up there and with no other striker on the books, worth a punt?

Maybe such a crucial game isn’t the time to try such a move, but just an idea.

RIP Sir Bobby

Why not just go with the striker who scored and performed well in our last fixture?

We all know you hate Jackson but given his performance in the last game this is a stupid post even for you.

Not sure Jackson will cut it against the likes of Leicester! Lol

Don’t know if Burns has ever played up top, but just an idea.

So someone who has never played as a CF will cut it better than someone who is a CF and played well against the team in 6th?

Honestly, this Jackson hatred has been pathetic for years.

Seem to recall Jackson played very well when he came on against them.

Also played well and scored in his last match.

Cant see him being dropped, and not sure why he would be.

These far fetched suggestions are ludicrous.

Leicester feels like a bit of a game to 'get through', we all know how strong they've been. Under any circumstances it's a tough game, not made any easier due to a lack of forward options, having Morsy suspended, Hirst & Luongo injured and Burgess away. Still, they're not at full strength either and coming off the back of a rare defeat, it'll be interesting to see how they respond. We took something from them at home recently, so you never know, we just need to stay in the game. Jackson is quite capable of doing a job up there, as he did at home to Leicester, as is Broadhead as an option. There's no reason at all to deviate from that.

After Leicester we get Morsy back, likely have another forward or 2 into the squad, and the best part of 2 weeks before our next league game with a (on paper at least) kinder run of fixtures. Feels like a chance to hit reset a little bit. Any sort of result at the King Power would be a good way to go into that.

Jackson played very well up front against Leicester a few weeks ago.

I don’t rate Jackson very highly but he played well against Sunderland so it would be stupid to drop him now, especially when we need to keep his confidence up as he’s going to be needed for the rest of the season.

Also, Leicester are going to take the game to us meaning there will be gaps in behind that his pace may be able to exploit.

Jackson is in many ways an ideal No. 9 to start against Leicester (speed on the break, excellent stamina for closing down) if you consider the role in the team and the context of the game rather than the attributes of the individual in isolation, particularly if you are of the school of thought that a No. 9 needs to be 'a big, strong lump who can get on the end ov stuff slung into the box', (which I'm not saying you are as you've suggested Burns).

Burns was a striker at Bristol apparently so altho I don't agree with that option It does at least have a little sense about it IF emergency selection was required.

That is becoming a phrase you use a lot. In the case of Wally I think it is fair enough as he is constantly downing Jackson. Much like you and Burns.

As always you've totally ignored context.

Historical posting shouldn't be ignored when responding to a clearly narrative driven post. Wally has posted awfully about Jackson for many years and this is another clear example.

People are rightly fed up with it.

As said. He suggested a player move like another poster did. That shouldn't automatically lead to insults just because he's in the past shared views that many agree with whilst some don't.

The point is that Wally always posts negatively about Jackson. Can’t you see that? Similarly when you post negatively about Burns with the same regularity.

Yeah, I’d go with either Burns…. on 12:37 - Jan 19 with 1856 views

Maybe Walton at a push.
