Drinan more is effective than Jackson?

Only a friendly but given the apparent preference for 4-3-3, Jackson’s role is up for debate.

Where are you picking him in your 4-3-3?

Edit. Glasses on. Read your post again. Missed your point.

Mine was Jackson isn’t a central striker in the 4-3-3. Drinan looked more of a natural in that role. Albeit he clearly isn’t that good.

Drinan unlike Jackson has never scored a goal for us in a competitive game.

More effective than Jackson because he's had a brace in the pre-season game.

On the right.

I should clarify my above post. Nothing against Drinan but in no way is he a better option.

If we stick with 4-3-3 - and knowing Lambert that's anyone's guess - then Jackson will play as a wide forward, probably from the right. He's not a number 9 that can lead the line on his own, but we didn't really need a friendly with Colchester to tell us that.

He was tonight, but Jackson isn’t a lone central striker, it’s not his game, he looks far less effective than when he is in a front 2.

A better option in which position.

Jackson plays best in a 2 up front.

We apparently want to play a 3.

Jackson can’t seemingly play the central role which is Drinan’s speciality. Drinan is almost certainly not good enough either to do this but at least he’s a round peg in a round hole.

Jackson to my knowledge also can’t play in goal but is a more effective player than say James Pullen ever was.

Round pegs/Square holes.

Nice to watch a bit of footy though

Drinan's speciality......based on what? On one pre-season game?

No, based on the fact he is supposed to be a target man.

I'm not saying he's likely to become a sudden revelation but wasn't the general consensus that he'd shown some promise in recent loan spells?

Is he worth another look?

Drinan is now 22 & he needs to be making his mark or he's not going to be even a 3rd tier striker. He could be a late developer, but how will we ever find out? The fact we've signed Hawkins indicates he isn't under serious consideration.

Jeez, well he’s not a winger, he’s not a 10 or a central midfielder, or defender, or a goalkeeper. Mick compared him to Murphy when joined. He’s by reputation a target man, so yes he is by reputation a target man. I’m not saying he’s a good one, just he is one.

He's done nothing in football so far. He ain't even scored a goal in either professional or non-league game in England.

But he could be more effective than Jackson because he's shone in one pre-season game OK your opinion

I can't work out what ylu are trying to argue here. Drinan is clearly a better number 9 in the sense that a number 9 is a target man.

sorry this is a bit sophisticated for you.

Herbivore said it well regarding Jackson playing as a lone striker. He can’t. He’s so ineffective at that. He’s so ineffective at that there is chance Drinan actually more be more effective in that role. You are confusing this with who is the better player.

I am being extremely patient.

Terry Butcher was a better player than me. He can’t do my job as well as me. That is because we do different things. Do you see. The things are different.

You can do whatever you specialise in better than a brain surgeon. I assume you are not a brain surgeon. I assume this because you are finding a simple concept hard to understand. You would almost certainly be a crap brain surgeon.

Different things...

I've told you : OK your opinion no matter how big nonsense he is.

Drinan has had various loan spells where he's had an opportunity to be 'effective'.

All of sudden he could be more effective than Jackson because what he has done in the pre-season game. Aha ! Because you said so...

Let him shine in the competitive games and if he does so we'll be nicely surprised.

Jackson is not a central striker in a 3. That is the point.
