Why do people 10:48 - Jan 20 with 3529 viewsGuthrum

want to put anybody and everybody but Jackson up top Monday*?

A trained and designated striker. Who scored in the last game. Who has the energy and determination for the role.

Why shoehorn somebody else in (especially a slightly out-of-form, finding-it-hard-to-hit-the-target Broadhead), when Jackson is available?


* Edit - thanks Sitters.

I know that, just thinking out load, that's all. Pretty sure one of Gallagher or Moore will be here soon, so need to over think it I guess.


The point of the thread is we have a very capable striker already so no thinking or overthinking is required. Suggesting Taylor is bizarre.

You’re not tempted to play Ball up top then?


His is about the only name I haven’t seen suggested. There must be something in the water.

Reckon Christian Walton could do a job. Big aerial threat and almost scored against Plymouth. Or we could just stick with the natural striker who had a great game against Sunderland…

Suggestion only. Me included, hold peace with your views on KJ.

You know what you see and you know what you don’t see. These argument have been replayed time and again in his time with Town. Let’s not sweat this. KMCK and the coaching team obviously value his contribution highly, he was rewarded with a new contract; he’s survived several manager changes; he very clearly brings things to the squad that not all of us see.

In the summer, we will no doubt return to this matter but for now, if only briefly he is our No9. Why would we self harm by continuing to pick at short comings when he is machine made for modern day pressing.

Probably because Jackson was never first choice this season so, in theory, our front-line striker is now inferior to what we had before. The need to buy/loan cover for Hirst also suggests our forward line is less than optimal.

Having said that, it is complete numptiness to suggest that any Town fan wishes Jackson any ill will and, hopefully he will prove continue to prove a very good stop-gap 'till the new signing(s) arrive.

Probably because He's never been a great finisher and has been repositioned as a winger to use his best attribute- pace- and now has to remember how to play in the middle. Still our best current option there by a long way.

Whilst I do agree with your point.

It's interesting seeing how many people now rate Jackson compared to 3 weeks ago.


Not me had a decent game v Sunderland but 6 reasonable games a season don't get you promoted like going for a meal would you accept 7 meals out off 10 were poor and keep going back.
OK as back up will start Monday as little options.

I agree that we should be looking for another striker. Even if Jackson hits a purple patch of form, we're going to need someone else other than just an 18-year-old, returning from injury, Buabo.

However, I was talking specifically about the Leicester game, given we're unlikely to have any new signings in place for that.

As far as I can work out, people seem to hate him because he fell out with Lambert.

Yes, Paul Lambert. One of our most hated and incompetent managers ever.

He’s not hated he’s just viewed as a really bad manager.

He's not as good as Hirst, but he is a proper striker, rather than a converted midfielder (or fullback, or anybody else).

The majority of his appearances this season have been 30 minutes or less and mostly not in the No9 position.

this post says more about the poster than Jackson (or Lambert).

Frequency and inappropriate use of the word 'hate', with the post even needing an edit.

Guessed what? That not everyone liked the thought of a manager coming in for his first management gig.

Obviously it's been amazing.. but at the time there was quite a split about how he was going to do.

I went a bit quick during his first interview however but oh well what's life if you don't make mistakes.


Here's stokie with his regular down vote. Probably sends another message to you know who afterwards.

What do disagree with stokie. That not everyone was liking the thought of a manager coming in for his first job. Or what's life if you don't make mistakes.

Bet neither you disagree with.. but can't go a day without down arrowing can ya. Bless.

Fair enough. Just meant that if you make mistakes by judging to early, maybe stop judging things to early.

I'm not judging you but both times that you put "to" it should have been "too".
