Someone to play wide left so we don't have to pretend Jackson can play the role. |  |

He gets the ball on the left and EVERY time plays it backwards. Every time. It’s too passive. |  |

Apart from his touch that put Morsy through to set up the chance for Chaplain. |  | | |

Same Jackson who has created a lovely chance for Chaplin from the left with a beautiful flick and who is constantly trying to run in behind and has only been found by Davis one time?
That Jackson?
He's done more than Burns - why are there no threads having a moan about Burns?

Yes that Jackson.
One good moment in 60-70 mins of football doesn't change the fact that he can't play the role.
Not technical enough to play wide and not strong enough to play up front. He's a 'secret weapon' but only seems to be effective in specific circumstances. | |

Will be interested to see how the current global economic situation affects player price and movement. Think clubs will be keen to shed contracts where possibke | | | |

Let's be honest McKenna has done well but his not a magician Jackson has had 10 decent games since his been here. Works hard but lack of football intelligence and ability, Burns has had a poor season maybe competition required in that position to make him step up | | | |

On three other occasions where Jackson has played wide left (Sheff W, Derby and Charlton) he has been pretty effective and had a decent impact on all of those games. Interestingly, in all three of those games TJJ has started as the central striker.
I think yesterday those around Jackson (namely Chaplin and Ladapo) don’t have the passing ability to bring the best out of Jackson and find him in the space. |  | | |

My issue with Jackson is that he is far too inconsistent . At times he’s unplayable. At other times he is the most ineffective player on the pitch. Unfortunately, the ratio between the former and the latter is about 25/75. I think he’s had three MOTM performances this season but far more where he has been anonymous and ineffective.
He’s a striker who has a poor goal scoring record and a winger who has a bad assist record. He never gives anything less than 100% though. But we need better in both the roles he is currently used for.
Imo, if John-Jules was fit we wouldn’t be seeing as much of Jackson.
As for Burns, he’s a shadow of the player he was last year. My view is that he was far more effective as a wing back as he had more space to run in. He isn’t doing it this season and there have been plenty of threads discussing his performance. |  |

Someone that can offer competition for Burns, think he’s been poor of late. | | | |

I think some of that appraisal on Jackson is fair.
I really don't think there are "plenty of threads" discussing Burns performances, there are a couple, there is one from yesterday but there are loads about Jackson every match, sometimes even before the match starts.
It's a clear double-standard and I am not sure why. Burns has been less effective than Jackson in many games this season but gets nowhere near the same focus or scrutiny.

Can I add that if “any” player is available that we can get that is better than what we have then we should be looking to sign them and improve. Whom ever we are talking about here be that Burns, Jackson, Ladapo, Edwards. No one up the top end of the pitch is irreplaceable (FACT) if player A fits KMC framework then I’m sure we will look to improve. I feel we could debate all day about what positions and whom we need in but I suspect it will come down to availability/affordability of the right type of players. |  |

Knocking it backwards is generally the way the whole team plays. |  | | |

I think we are generally well placed when it comes to goalkeeper, defenders and midfielders, although we could do with a reinforcement now in midfield, but I am not sure which of our attackers would thrive at Championship level. So we may need one or two attackers now, with more to follow if we get promoted. However getting the right players is not necessarily easy. [Post edited 18 Dec 2022 11:49]

Sorry if it seems like I'm countering you in every thread on this, nothing personal, but......
There have been loads of threads all season about how Burns isn't playing as well as last year, some criticism justified and some not.
Jackson is a conundrum for me, he can sometimes look great (second half last week being a good example), but equally can be massively ineffective. Personally, I'd want him as a bench option to use when the game gets a bit more stretched, and I just don't think he is as effective from the start, regardless of his position. |  |

No worries, you're certainly allowed to challenge, in fact you should, it's a forum.
I honestly don't see it, if you went back and counted I would think there are 4 or 5 times as many negative threads about Jackson as there are about Burns (possibly even more) and many of those are before the match has even started and he's given a chance to play that day.
That's a fair point to have on Jackson. I'd also put forward that Burns has done very little and would perhaps be better off as a bench player at the moment. If he's going to be an AM rather than WB then we have at least 4 that offer more than him in my opinion.
Burns might come good and I really hope he does. At the moment he doesn't really deserve a starting place as an AM though.

I honestly think a lot more is being made of Burns' form than it should.
According to BBC he has three goals and five assists, second to Davis in terms of assists, next is Morsy and JD with three.
The only real criticism for me can be that he hasn't been as good as last year, but I think there's genuine reasons for that.
I also don't think his crossing is much more inconsistent than most wingers. And it's not helped by the lack of movement in the box. A good number of crosses went into the six yard box yesterday (not necessarily delivered by Burns) and there was no one there. | |

I've moaned about Burns all season. You told me to sht up and there was nothing wrong with him. Probably why more haven't dared suggest it. To many looking at Burns with last season glasses on imo and jump down ya throat If you don't rate him as much as others do.
Realistically he's not been rubbish otherwise we wouldn't be as high in the league as we are as he plays a part. However I do feel we'd be doing even better with a better and more consistent player.
Can you get that in league 1. That's upto the club to find.. but if they can, it will be a big help. |  |
