buddies1877 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 The big man stood up to the pressure and tucked away the penalty today , but he really needs to try and keep his emotions in check. I thought he was lucky to stay on the park given the referees this season. Have seen enough of him to see he offers us something different upfront. Can be a big player for us in the run in. I wouldn’t say he was lucky to stay on the park he never done anything to deserve two yellows or a straight red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A touch of the"Morellos" there. Goals too. Precautionary change. As he gets fitter my feeling is that there is a lot more to come. He certainly won't go u noticed.

There was a late challenge, and a dive. So that's two things at least he did for another yellow. Very lucky to stay on the park. We were actually much better going forwards in the 2nd half with Jackson up front and McAllister coming up to support. The Duck isn't very fit or mobile, he offers something different for sure but I'm not convinced he deserves a start over Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t think it was a yellow for a dive either he played the ball past and was blocked by the defender just standing his ground wasn’t a foul and wasn’t a dive imo. Was 100% right call to take him off just didn’t think he was lucky not to be sent off in the 1st half. Agreed I prefer Jackson up top in games like that much more mobile. Hopefully the duck will get better as he gets more fit and also be a bit less angry on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is exactly what we were looking for. A big strong target man, capable of holding off defenders and scores goals. I like what he brings. He will get fitter. I'll leave it to OK on who should start and when but we now have more options and three forwards scoring goals. Duckens, Jackson and McAllister. Big improvement there.

Magic Monkey Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 I like him a lot. Wouldn't be averse to pushing Jackson wide in a front three, with McAllister on the other flank. Shame it'd leave us getting ruined through the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson has enough pace but no height: Duckens is lacking fitness, this could be the solution that stretches teams like we rarely have this season. It'd let us be far more direct, too.

Kemp Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Jackson played out wide in his first game for us, maybe another time after that. He's not much good there. I think McAllister and Lyons pushing up behind the striker is our best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your point (and didn't see those games) but will add that there's been lots of people playing in their 'correct' positions this season who haven't been much good Bear in mind it can depend who you're playing with, who's behind and alongside you, etc. I think it'd be worth a go. In fairness, 4-3-3 is due to come up in Oran's formation tombola at some point soon anyway...

Sweeper07 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Great to have this wee insight into the Duck's life. What we learn from this :- 1. We only payed for easyjet flights for him to come to us. 2. He likes his food. 3. He is a passionate footballer. 4. He expects to be scoring goals (This was before he scored his 1st and 2nd with us.) 5. Oran takes time with him and the others - good man management and what that does.
