One defender slips over and he just runs into a huge gap. Hopefully though.. like you said the win and goal spurs him and the team on. Confidence can do wonderful things. He should be winning more penalties.. we rarely get enough.. he has to do a few more tricks on the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 So what? He scored it in the Championship, the league in which we find ourselves in . It counted, Jack played well and we won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah sorry, he would never have scored that goal past a centre half pairing of Maldini and McGrath. #GresfordOut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the way he managed to dribble the ball at full pace was very lucky. Beating the defender was jammy as **** and the composure he showed taking it round the keeper and scoring from a tight angle was a complete fluke.

I think Jack is certainly a confidence player and as shown last season in a team losing week in week out totally devoid of confidence he was ineffective. His best spell for us was when Sherwood came in and gave the whole place a lift and for a time we played with a bit of a swagger. I find Jack really frustrating to watch at times. He gets on the verge and getting into some great positions and will then turn back or play an easy sideways or backwards pass. He needs to get himself into the box more and teams will be either shit scarred of fouling him or will be tricked into bringing him down. That all comes with confidence though and hopefully he can build on Saturdays performance. He is way above the level of players he will be up against in this division he just needs to have the confidence to go out and show it as there is no doubt he has the ability.

Come on man a defender fell over and opened up a huge gap. If he didnt.. he wouldnt of had that chance to dribble around a defender. I am just saying there was a certain element of luck in the goal. Not the whole thing.. His finish was tidy to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defender falling was an element of luck but many goals at all levels have an element of luck about them. He took the goal really well and deserves credit for doing so. As for the wouldn't score it in the Premier League comment, I'm sure we'd never see the club captain of a Premier League title chasing team fall over to give away a title deciding goal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in terms of being fouled and kicked he's fairly tough already, I do t think I've ever seen him stay down and I've seen some terrible tackles on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Jack showed in the Semi Final against Liverpool he can run games at the highest level but because of this the expectation went through the roof. He is still a novice and like most young players he'll have ups and downs in form. His goal against Rotherham showed his ability and if you look at his career he has scored quite a few similar ones. It's amazing how lucky he gets or is it his ability? I know which one I think it is. Hopefully he can play most games this year and get his confidence up and then he'll be ready to show the PL what he's got!! One thing I've noticed in the games so far is his defensive side it's getting stronger all top players have to defend aswell so that's another promising sign.
