Hope the Hirst signing means he is never asked to play centrally up top on his own again from the start. In a two, yes but never alone. Far more effective if we're playing one using him like today. Alternatively, to see a game out for 10-15 minutes with some selfless high pressing he's quite useful too. |  |

And as a Wing Back. He could be our Ashley Young.
He has a lot of attributes, and a fantastic attitude and willingness to put the team first, but he isn't a natural finisher. |  | | |

He's capable of playing up front but only in a pair, where he can run in behind and tee up a strike partner. He's not suited to play as a lone striker - he's merely nuisance value in that position.
As for wing-back - he played in that position earlier in the season (one of our TV games if I recall) - his wing-ing was ok but his back-ing was hopeless (which you would expect).
However I can see him fitting well into the RW position if we were to switch to say a 4-3-3 as a plan B, as back-up to Wes, which I don't think would be a bad choice. | |

Jackson continues to be heavily underrated.
He's selfless, hardworking, a genuine team player and can play several positions.
He's a very good squad player for us. |  |

He had a very good game today. The opening goal was largely down to him. He won the ball back, played a lovely pass and move combination with Ladapo and knocked in a nice cross*
*Humphreys gets a little credit too. |  |

Hopefully his injury is not serious as he clearly is important to us in the second half of the season |  |

Interestingly, Alex Matthie thinks the lone striker role is a very difficult one anyway. From what he says, he wouldn't have liked playing as one. |  | | |

I'd bet mckenna agrees with you. I don't remember jackson up front much before TJJ got injured and he became ladapo's only backup. | |

Definitely isn't good as a central striker.
If we're being honest, if everyone was fit, and we sign these 2 forwards, would he make the bench? Probably not. | | | |

even when used as a centre forward it's mainly as a decoy to occupy centre-backs with the threat of his pace to allow the 10s to make hay.
he'll make the bench as he's a different option and can occupy several roles, edwards may be the one most likely to miss out. | |
