Adams is better or at least on par with Pugh

Clarke and Wilson are better than Tudgay, Miller, Mcquoid, Jackson and Nouble

Moussa is better than Swanson and Coulibaly, Coulibaly had barely played for a year and we have only seen one sub appearance from him in the league, to claim he is better than the players we had last season is bizarre.

O'Brien is probably overall a better player than Baker although it is yet to be seen whether he will be able to provided the goals and assists.

Hines and Reda are better than anything we had at centre back last season.

The only position we have improved in quality is centre back. We have increased depth in the strikers but have less quality. Full backs and goalkeeper are worse. Midfield probably a similar level possibly slightly worse.

And that's without mentioning the goalkeepers....

Jackson is better than both Clarke and Wilson.

Make or break time for Elvis sadly, but this is how football works nowadays. He just needs to admit defeat and bin the 5-3-2 as even our wins this season haven't been convincing.

Bandwagon jumper!

Why have you never mentioned this 5-3-2 thing before?

I think everybody should just accept that not everybody likes pressley , i know most here do , but like i said if results in october go badly , then im positive that peoples opinions will start to sway , i genuinely hope that we win every single game we play , and i want pressley to prove the small amount of doubters wrong . I believe though that he was stupid to come out and say 352/532 is here to stay , if not for attendance reasons alone lol :)

Simeon Jackson has scored at Premier League level, Championship level and International level. Its fair to say he's better than both Wilson and Clarke.

Meh. Having watched all three of them numerous times, Jackson is a better player.

Of course he is, that's why a championship side paid £3m for Wilson and Jackson signed for us on a free mid season having failed to make any real impact at millwall last season.....

Some Facts:

Gillingham paid Non-League Rushden and Diamonds 150k for Jackson
Norwich paid League 2 Gillingham 600k for Jackson
Paul Lambert (A rather knowledgeable manager) continued to use Jackson in the Prem despite having the likes of £5 million man Steve Morison at his disposal
Bundesliga side Eintract Braunsweig signed Jackson

Leon Clarke currently cannot get a game for Wolves in the Championship.
God's gift to centre forwards Callum Wilson is currently on something of a goal drought.

Current League 1 top scorers list. Of all the forwards in it, I would safely say Jackson is better or as good as. Just highlights the staggering low standard of this league when players like Jon Obika, Tom Bradshaw and Jonathon Forte are scoring goals. If Pressley would let us attack we'd destroy 75% of the teams in this division

Yes they are facts - how many games and goals did he score in Germany?

So Jackson was used in preference to Morrison? Let's have a look at that season

Jackson - 2011/12 -10 starts 12 subs 3 goals

Steve Morrison - 2011/12 - 22 starts 12 subs 9 goals


Are you really sure he was used in preference to Morrison?

Mcsheffrey must be the best player in this league - cost £4m, the star player in birmingams promotion to the PL (19 goals/17 assist?), played in the PL. Perhaps we should get him back or perhaps Clinton Morrison? Scored in PL, Championship, Internationals, etc. under your rules they're better than Clarke and Wilson.

Or we could just accept that you're as good as your current form, and players peak and decline at different rates and different times, and Jackson has had his peak, his peak was better than where Wilson and Clarke currently are but he is on the decline and is currently not as good as them. There is a reason he's playing for us and not in the championship, even delfouneso managed to get a job in the championship...

The current squad should be capable of a top 6 finish in this league. But at the moment they are quite a bit off the pace. The manager has to take overall responsibility for this. We should be beating the likes of Rochdale and others

Utter tears.

Yep Clarke, Wilson and Delf are better than Jackson.
