I'm not sure where that confidence comes from. Hanson obviously gives more than Green in terms of hold up play, but excluding his first month for us, he has not been a goal scorer. We still need somebody who can hit the onion bag. Jackson might be the one, I like his positioning and runs, but we've created so little in the time he's been on that it's not easy to judge him.
He’s scored 9 goals in around 30 games for us. More than all our other strikers added together this season. Plus his obvious talent for holding the ball up is the big thing we’ve missed as we can’t get it to stick in the opposition half. He will make us play higher up the pitch and stop the ball coming back. |

Agreed. There is more to forward play than scoring goals. I'd imagine the players themselves would have a lift seeing him up front. |

Got to say Jackson did more in ten minutes last week than green did in the whole match.
He looks sharp and by far the most natural finisher.
Those crying out for a striker need to see the service hasn’t been there yet and this lad could do as good as anyone brought in playing along side Hanson should he stay fit.
Service is the 🔑.
This signing looks like it could help the team no end

Don't get this obsession with Jackosn, other than unanimous desperation given the alternatives. His touch and spatial awareness were bobbins, he happened to pop up in the right places two games running which means he has more than other strikers. He benefits from being ever so slightly better than all the other garbage around him. He's also not good enough but it's camouflaged by everyone else's crapness. |

He looked completely out of his depth, he barely touched the ball and when he got anywhere near it he was muscled off it. In most of his brief appearances his general play has been pretty excrement, I thought he might be one of those strikers with a knack for being in the right place, I am beginning to think it might have been more a bit of good fortune. I’d like to see him develop as he must something about him to have scored all those goals in non league, at the minute though he looks way off. |

Think you underestimate that popping up in the right place is a huge portion of a strikers job. Can count on one hand the times our other strikers have with far more games and minutes to do so. Once there is a physical presence up front to allow us to get up the pitch and play in the final third strikers like Jackson and Gibson will be in their element. |

This got loads of green ticks and those questioning it got loads of red crosses which makes me question our fans ability to judge a player. He was Sunday league at best when he came on, he failed to take one single pass from poor old Sean Scannell, who must be wondering where it all went wrong after playing in the premier league. |

I suspect if he got chances that Jackson might take quite a few of them but he isn't going to get many at all in this team and I'm not sure he contributes much else except enthusiasm and effort. Fair play to him for at least doing that.

Ethan Robson plays for Blackpool now Poojah
Yeah, I’m aware of this - I just meant that he’d never come as close to breaking into Sunderland’s first team as Majete has at Fleetwood. |
