Josh Jackson needs to be dropped

[flamebouyant]

I think giving Jackson a break during the match will help his performances.

He ìs not an 80 min player. Id rather see him have more output and less minutes.

 

[flamebouyant]

He has lost his effectiveness and has never been my favourite player as he’s too short BUT anyone questioning the blokes effort and thinking he only shows up to collect his pay cheque is very wrong

I dont thin anyone has suggested that at all. But he is not showing enough to earn his paycheck, and like any other player in this position, he needs a spell on the bench to recapture that motivation and energy again.

I’m only going on the posts I read here mate. He gives his guts but the game has evolved past players like him and Tolman. I hope a new coach and a better squad will give him some spark

Yeah, drop the heart and soul of the club, piss off legend, thanks for the blood sweat and tears but off you go now has been, Pangai jr will save us. Love you JJ.

Great fans.

Fkn lol, if he is the heart and soul, no wonder we are flat lining.

Its a fucking business, you don't do your job, you get the boot.

Jackson needs a long rest and preseason under Barrett.

He looks completely burnt out. I don’t blame him with how we’ve been going downhill for the last 5 years.

Exactly!

I would have thought the Covid shutdown would have given everyone a decent rest already.

I fucking hope so because he is signed for 3 more years.

Jackson should never be dropped and he would still walk into the starting pack of any other first grade squad.

And if he is disillusioned with this basket case of a club - the same club that has mercilessly shown the door to many of his best mates (to the team’s detriment) and a coach who made him captain and who he loved - it is completely understandable.

I’m of the understanding that josh has 3 years starting from next season.
I always thought it was too long when announced at the time and unnecessary taking all things into consideration.
Two years would have been plenty.

Three years, shit.

This guy was done years ago. Bad captain.

Not agreeing or disagree but we have a lot bigger issues than Jacko at the moment.

Running a footbal club is big business. Don't kid yourself that we should keep a of our favourite players forever, it just doesn't work like that. Decisions are made, right and wrong, and the future is moulded. Sadly we have been getting this wrong of late, but hindsight is a bitch!
If Jackson is "disillusioned " as you suggest, then perhaps he is not fit to be captain. Maybe he should not have signed a 3 year extension. But he is, and he did, so he needs to lift his game!

Maybe so, but we need to address all of them, not just one.

Agree but decent coach better players around him who knows, he just looks busted at the moment.

 

[Dogsville]

I would take the captaincy off him, it must be stressful trying to lead this team around. Give him a rest from that for a few weeks to see if he can start to enjoy playing and go back to more consistent form. Imaging trying to lead a team with Montoya, Smith and Lewis playing like they don't give a shit.

So give him the opportunity to lift his game, or use him more efficiently. And if the club is as “done” with Jackson as so many on here are, then it’s best he is given the opportunity to leave and find a new club so he can prove you were wrong.

How do you drop a guy who is on the books for two more seasons @ $750k a season?

And people keep saying Foran isn't worth $400k!!

Thats right, Foran is worth 150k

 

[Trafford10]

Thats right, Foran is worth 150k

Yeah ok...good contribution

 

[CrittaMagic69]
