So why was he in the squad yesterday?
Is Cook opening the door for him by the tiniest crack?
He didn't need to name him.
I wonder if we've had zero takers for him?
He must be on a good contract that with his dismal showing last year no one is keen to take on.
Interesting. Especially as he didn't get on despite Cook giving everyone else bar Holy minutes.
Saying you can get back, but right now all these players are ahead of you.
Perhaps as a make do wideman where we are light. |  |

Given that, as you say, he was the only outfield player who didn't get any minutes, the door still feels pretty firmly closed. It's a well-concealed motivational tool if it was one. Must have been pretty dispiriting for him, I'd have thought. [Post edited 25 Jul 2021 15:57]

To get his name out there? Strange but the best I can think of. |  |

Think it’s that. Still think he could do a good job there with the right coaching too! |  |

Don't know why it's an issue.
Jackson, along with Downes and others, is still contracted to the club. Still being paid by the club and under an obligation to do his best for the club.
When the season starts, and if we have made no further signings, I expect Downes and Jackson to be regularly involved in the match-day squad.. |  |

Pay him up and get rid. |  |

The only real question here is why we chose to give him a contract for this season.
Maybe time will tell but I didn't get it and still don't. |  |

That’s what it felt like.
Unless Cook got wind that Jackson had BBQ plans for Saturday afternoon and felt like scuppering them because he can. |  | | |

Watching Jackson warm up on his own in the corner in the 88th minute, it did seem to me that he was being given a very clear message that he has no future here. Made me wonder if an offer had been made that he was stalling on |  |

That would be madness.
Would rather loan him out for a season, or let someone take him for free. |  |

Because he could then leave for free. By activating the contract extension, it gives us time to either find a cash buyer or for him to figure back into Cook's plans - as opposed to him leaving for zero. |  | | |

To be fair I'm not sure he's ever showed lack of effort on the pitch for us, clearly I have no idea about off field.
I feel for him, coming to us was clearly a terrible move for his career and it doesn't matter how hard he trains, how good his attitude might be he's never going to fit into a Cook team here.
I think as a club we've failed him every bit as much as he's failed us, and maybe more so. |  |

I can't get my head around that either. If we knew we could get a nominal fee for him I would understand but he is still here and drawing a wage. |  | | |

I think that is incredibly generous……although none of us will ever know just how damaging life under Lambert was for so many players. | | | |

It’ll be interesting to see if he is named in the squad for Colchester Tuesday night, or instead with the 23’s at Braintree. |  | | |

Also, whether he is named among the 22 outfield players born after 31st December 2020 allowed in the League One squad for the coming season, which I assume will happen in a week or so. |  |

Makes sense. Let's hope that a cash buyer rocks up with a suitcase full of readies then, because there's not much attempt to allow him to feature so far... |  | | |

Cash buyer? Who exactly? At this rate we'll keep him for another month before loaning him out.
Don't get me wrong, suggesting we pay him up is moronic but I can't see anyone buying him. Free or loan pretty nailed on I reckon. Unless the pay off we want is literally just a sell on fee. That might make sense actually. If he does come good and ends up going for £5m and we have a 20% sell on then fair play but right now it's looking a bit odd. |  |

I was watching him at HT going through warm ups etc, and he just looked like he would be anywhere else than PR at that point in time.
He was just going through the motions.
Joe mentioned a few months back that it would be a gamble to take these extensions as they might backfire. Lets hope someone comes in for him for everyone's sake. |  |

We must have been pretty confident that we'd realise a transfer fee on him in the Spring, otherwise we'd have just have passed on the option?
I suspect that Kenlock, Downes, Jackson and Bishop are still here precisely because we have put a price tag on them and think it'll be met if we go deep enough into the window. Hawkins, Cornell, Drinan and Lankester got done quick because it was essentially just a case of finding someone who'd pay their wages instead of us, Dozzell because QPR met his clause. |  |

Think you mean before 31st December 2000! And I'm guessing that the squad won't be named until after the transfer window closes. |  | | |

I don't know if anyone else has thought this about him, but, to me, he's always had something of Ian Marshall about him in that, with the ball available to be chased he's the electric hare, but when the move breaks down, he becomes a trudger until the next time.
If that's right, training may not be his thing? |  |

Aargh - got "born" and "turns 21" the wrong way around! | |
