These four our own players must be getting a lot of game time from now on for me ? |  | | |  |

Unless Cook can coach Dozzell to play to a better standard and be more effective I would get rid of him |  | | |

Why Jackson? Do we really need another non-scoring striker getting game time? |  |

It would be nice if he was given a chance to prove he is "non-scoring".
He's barely played for various reasons.

Non scoring?
He was our joint top scorer last season, and from memory his goals per minute was one of the best in the league.
Jackson will be an important player. |  |

I expect the intention is to build the team around the likes of Dozzell, Downes and Bishop. All 3 have lots to work on but the prospect of watching them all play regularly in a better functioning side with a competent manager is exciting to me. |  | | |

Yeah. Self inflicted suspensions due to hissy fits. | |

That is nonsense as I am sure you know. All his absences were not self-inflicted.
So have you moved on from not scoring (provably incorrect given last season) to bad attitude?

I can see Cook utilising him as an inside forward or inverted winger to get him in the squad and partnering Norwood again. With a bit of coaching on his tracking and defending, i'd like to see him given some proper game time in this position between now and the end of the season.
He tended to pull out wide a lot when partnering Norwood last season anyway. [Post edited 12 Mar 2021 11:43]

Should add Bishop to the list as well . For those not keen on Jackson i would say nothing scares defenders more than pace and he is our quickest , if we can now play more on the front foot and move the ball quicker i think he can score goals . | | | |

Partially agree, but there is a big problem in that those three very rarely threaten to score goals - Downes has 3 in 83, Dozzell 2 in 67, and Bishop 5 in 111. That's a big problem in a team that generally finds it difficult to score goals (and probably one of the causes of the problem this season, although Bishop scored a few early on).
If I was looking at the team as it is now I'd be desperate to get Jon Nolan in somewhere, not because he's better, just because he has the knack of scoring goals, which most of our team don't. |  | | |

Can I ask why?
Downes - certainly first name on the team sheet for me.
But, Jackson? Woolfenden - been very poor, Dozzell - I like a lot, but still needs to effect games. |  |

People are looking at the Woolfenden of last season, rather than this one. He gets a bit of slack compared to other defenders because he's a young academy player, but he's had a pretty poor campaign. |  | | |

Context though, right? Those games came under a faltering MM, a poor PH and a disastrous level of coaching from PL. Downes best goal for us was late run into the box in a game at PR last season, Accrington was it? Look how positive Bishop was again on the ball Tuesday night too. If Cook can get them to doing what we know they can do, happy days. I'm confident he can. | |

We've not had a non-loanee midfielder post 10 goals in a season since...David Norris in 2010-11. 2 more goals from either Bishop or Edwards would put them in 3rd place for the 2010s, behind Norris and Keith Andrews. [Post edited 12 Mar 2021 12:30]

Yes it's definitely something they need to be work on and no reason why they can't improve, and that Downes header was a good example of what they should be aiming for. | | | |

Remember you're judging them based on performances under a very poor man manager. | |

New manager = clean slate.
if he gets in, lets hope he rediscovers last seasons form. | |

Yes for me there is no doubt Woofie lost his way under PL hopefully under PC we can see him and all our good young players move on . | | | |

He has but then who has had a really good one? I don't think we should under estimate the damage done by PL, he was terrible and out stayed his welcome by a year. Wolfenden and McGuiness as a partnership didn't work but Wolfenden and Chambers did. As Cook said, its all about partnerships and the central defensive one is key. | |

It seems that PC loves him a center back that can come forward. Sounds like classic Woolfie to me. Hope he gets a chance to show it again. For us. |  | | |

Adam Webster came up at Portsmouth under Cook, I think? | |

I would add Bishop to that list Wickets, but largely agree with you.
Woolfenden should be the future of our central defensive partnership really, given his age. He's been hit and miss this season, but we've seen enough of him previously to know he's talented. I would like to see him next to Wilson I think, in a defence with less reliance on ball playing and a bit more of a pragmatic approach, designed to get the ball forward into attacking territory much quicker. Ideally KVY comes back in and Chambers probably goes alongside Woolfy, but for now lets get Woolf and Wilson concentrating on the defensive responsibilities and forming a partnership.
Bishop OR Dozzell in a central 3 for me, when we have both we look a little lightweight and lack a certain tenacity. I would have Downes and probably Judge slightly deeper, doing all the running and breaking up the play. With Judge's 'industry' and Downes 'all action' and well rounded midfield capabilities that should offer a nice platform for Bishop or Dozzell slightly further forward to make things happen, beat a man, find that pass etc and support the front 3.
The big one to get right is the wide men off Norwood, who can offer the support to him and attacking intent, but also do the dirty side and protect the fullbacks. It's a hard job, and one we're yet to nail IMO. Jackson isn't an out and out 'wide man' but in this system I think he should start there right now. Norwood through the middle is a no brainer, and in the absence of anyone else who has really demonstrated a consistent performance out wide, why not go with Jackson who is far more naturally attack minded? He's always looked willing to do the hard graft, so deserves a run out there IMO. Perhaps on the right to accommodate Edwards on the left?
Holy
Chambers Woolfenden Wilson Kenlock
Downes Bishop Judge
Jackson Norwood Edwards
I would be inclined to go with this tomorrow, I think it's a fair reflection of recent performances, accommodating our better players and those that have earned a chance. Perhaps most harsh on Dozzell, Toto and Parrott but they'll all have a big role to play between now and the end of the season.
EDIT: There's a part of me that would really like to see Parrott out wide too. He's got a lot of ability and works his balls off, I really think he would put a real shift in on the right. That could be an option, with Jackson or Edwards on the left. [Post edited 12 Mar 2021 16:52]
