The defence cover has been nowhere near as good without Jack and we've missed him. We are a better side with both those players in the team.

Out of our 24 games so far in the league the 11 Jack hasn’t played in has had the 7 games where we conceded, think it’s something like that. Jack does help shore up our defence.

Jack does help shore up our defence. Of course he does, breaks up opposition attacks and protect CBs, Arfield is the only AMF who regularly gets beyond front 3 and into the box. Both have been a big miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,109 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Brilliant to hear that Jack will be back and Roofe isn't far off. Perfect time as I think a few might be needing a break/rotation and these 2 are massive for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was better than Aribo. Thought Kent was terrible tbh but you are right he was better than Aribo but that’s no saying much. We’ve been class at bouncing back from dropping points this season if we can produce another wee run of wins again that would be magic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love H&H and so much of their content and while I'm sure he's a nice guy, he's my least favourite one to listen to. He just talks pish a lot, waffles for the sake of it and often tries to be funny, which rarely comes off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,394 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The Jack debate can go on and on, but he's one of the managers main men. Just listen anytime he talks about him. That said, he shouldn't be needed tomorrow until later on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearInTheToon 1,577 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hope I'm wrong and we put on a real show but I'm not as confident as others for this one. We've been getting the results but we're not anywhere near our best and RC will be organised and bang up for it. Midfield's a conundrum. I wouldn't be dropping Davis and while Jack being back is a big plus, it's only so if he replaces the likes of Kamara. A midfield of Jack, Kamara and Davis is definitely not what we need at all for this but then Aribo's not at it and isn't meeting the expectations that we place on someone in that role. Arfield missing is a huge loss. Added to that, Tav's been off-colour for 4-5 weeks and Kent had a shocker last week. Hope they all click, as we need them to do so sooner rather than later. They've done amazingly up until now, but it's time for the whole team to show some proper balls, take responsibility and show they have the mentality to push on and nail the mhanks to the floor.

Bit harsh on Tav tbh. He’s a right back, he’s not going to score goals or create them every week. His numbers so far are crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while his numbers can’t be argued with, he’s definitely not playing with the same swagger, confidence or drive as he was. His end product has diminished a bit, too. Could be though that having Aribo next to him for most of those games meant he felt less covered/confident in driving forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you’re saying about confidence, always think when he’s confident he’s more willing to take on and beat his man, that has been lacking for a few games. However he still contributes massively most games. He’s improved massively in his time with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Reluctant to include Aribo , Hagi or Kamara due to their apathetic performances last time out so I've started Jack for an hour to make sure they all get the message. Shagger Tav Goldson Helander Barasic Jack Davis Kent ? Itten Morelos Was gonna suggest Mebude for right forward but just found hes been punted out on loan . Roofe is the only one that's made a success of that position for me. Dropped Kent back to give him a bit more grass . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
