Please rewatch that first half and count how many times he pointed to be played through only to be ignored by his team mates.
He has weakness. He knows them. We know them. So you play to his strengths which is put him through on goal. We didn't. Had we. We may have scored first half. It was our only danger to Preston and we time and time again ignored him.
No he's not moore. But i do feel if you play him in He can score goals. But he's not going to unless you do.
Now. That doesn't mean I'd start him uptop not at all. I'm just saying he did start and when he does you need the team to play him in. Otherwise you're playing with 10 men. [Post edited 3 Feb 2024 17:34]

Jackson was the least of our worries in the first half and has nothing to do with us losing today. |  |

I agree with most of this. He's a decent player but he doesn't fit the mould of striker we need so whilst he's there making runs to no avail.
I've always quite liked him out on the right. |  |

It’s not Jackson’s fault.
This is what annoys me about al of this. People will have a pop at Jackson and then people will come out and rightfully defend him because he’s the scapegoat.
He’s just a very limited number 9 and shouldn’t have started ahead of the premier league international number 9 we had on the bench.
Jackson can now go back to being a valuable squad player in the positions behind the 9. |  | | |

For clarity, my post before half time was more a reflection of how the game had gone - once Preston were two up it wasn't remotely a game that played to Jackson's strengths.
I don't especially rate Jackson, if I'm honest, though appreciate he's a good player to have in the squad, but he was a passenger once Preston were two up. |  |

Jackson had no service but at the same time he offered nothing and didn't give us any form of an outlet. The game today suited Moore's aerial ability and hold up play but think most people knew that would be the case going to Preston and therefore Moore should've started. |  |

That's the thing. The outlet was playing him in on goal. We didn't.
He didn't start to be an outlet for others. | |

I don't want to be nasty, but he's just not very good comparative to the level we are at and want to be at. He stands out like a sore thumb amongst the other attacking players we have in terms of technical ability. Great attitude, great bloke but he's nowhere near the level. [Post edited 3 Feb 2024 17:47]

But he is. His attributes are why he's still here under KM.
But he's completely different than our previous striker in hirst and different to the new ones. And he's a different striker that doesn't suit our style. Which means the midfield and forward line must use him differently
This is why Jackson looked OK v leicester we played balls through for him. | |

We would have had much more of an outlet with Moore and had a different shape approach about us but yes certainly can’t pin any of the first half on him. |  | | |

There is more to a forwards game than being a one trick pony.
Can he dribble and take on a defender ?
Can he shoot from outside the box ? ...Na.
Good in the air ? Not really. | | | |

He's what I call an old fashioned striker. Not a forward.
Making runs between defenders to be played in on goal. | |

To be honest I can't recall any situations where Jackson had made a good run and didn't receive a pass but he certainly isn't the sole reason why we lost today. Everybody was awful in that first half. No need for him to be made into a scapegoat. Just a bad day at the office but the second half gives me hope. | |

It's been needs must and we've had little other option. We've looked better every time he's gone off in recent weeks. He will barely play now until the end of the season. If he does it'll be a few minutes in games we have won comfortably. As I said, not at the level. | | | |
