Sad about the result but the boys played really well. If Nico had his shooting boots on, I think we win that. Fine margins win football matches, let’s hope we can string some results together and see what league position we end up in.

He terrible.

Jackson doesn’t have any shooting boots. He is not a striker and never will be. I have read some posts saying that Drogba didn’t have a great start at Chelsea- true, but I don’t know what that has got to to do with anything.
If the implication is that Jackson will be as good as Drogba, that is fanciful. The best thing for him is to be given an opportunity to play out wide- otherwise on the bench.7.

Jimbo, Drogba didn’t just have an average first season his second season wasn’t that fantastic either if I remember correctly.
Drogba improved. Jackson has improved his general play and contribution throughout the season.
I have no idea how he will compare to Drogba in terms of CFC scoring stats. There playing styles are so different it’s not really a true comparison as players anyway.
Interesting that you have written of his entire career as a striker. Only time will tell.

Tom, why do you keep bringing Drogba into the mix then. Yes they are different Drogba was a striker. I haven’t written his career off, I have given my opinion about him as a CF, just like you frequently did about Alonso for example. Yes, of course, time will tell, but I am giving my opinion as I see things at present.

The point I’m making about Drogba is to show that players can improve as goal scorers. I am NOT comparing there style of play.
I praised Alonso as a wing back particularly going forward but in a four he couldn’t defend. That criticism was after more than one season.
