Just Dan 10 Posted August 18, 2014 Good signing for Coventry, and a decent replacement for Wilson. Think they will do well this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buh 0 Posted August 18, 2014 He''ll always have his weaknesses but whatever stats you throw up when you hear the name Simeon Jackson from this moment until the end of time you will think of that last minute goal against derby.Must be awesome to have that legacy associated with you.Probably the biggest reaction to a goal I''ve ever seen, "the place is going bananas!"

thas a rummun 2 Posted August 18, 2014 Wrote himself into Canaries folklore with certain amazing moments, with the Derby 3-2 game and of course the header at Portsmouth weeks later, but was never anything more than very average.Likeable as anything though. Hope he storms League 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

? 20 Posted August 19, 2014 Always worth a repost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jIrua-A0AERicky would''ve been standing on the edge of the box with his hands on his hips worrying about his hair, rather than making the run to get on the end of that pass from Fox. We saw absolutely nothing to suggest otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted August 19, 2014 A nonsense to compare to RvW.Jackson scored some valuale goals at the start of our Championship season like vs Swansea and away at Bristol and then after a fallow period in the middle of the season admittedly he basically got us over the line to that second promo spot. If RvW had woken up in our last few games and scored the goals that could have saved us you might be able to start making comparisons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy_Bones 441 Posted August 19, 2014 I see sentimentality rules over common sense for many posters, just because of ONE f**king goal!?!?!?What''s also being forgotten in the comparisons between RVW and Jackson is that RVW was played as a lone striker in a ridiculous Hughton system with f**k all supply, compared to Jackson who played alongside Holt with great support from the likes of Wes, Fox and Crofts!Jackson was just about CCC level at his best, and League 1 level to be consistently and regularly scoring.I really don''t understand why mediocrity is often celebrated by fans, and we shouldn''t want Jackson anywhere near the club again, regardless of how nice a guy he was or how professional he may be - he simply isn''t f**king good enough - end of.

Buh 0 Posted August 19, 2014 You literally have no soulThe idea that when you think of Simeon Jackson you don''t think of the goal he scored against derby is just... Obtuse.Incredible attitude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted August 19, 2014 its not about one goal. His goals in his good spell got us promoted, that goal v portsmouth was incredible. I don''t think anyones saying he''s a really great player, but don''t undermine his short spell where he was absolutely brilliant, because thats what people see it as; a short spell. We realise he''s not that good, but don''t say he was rubbish for us because we might not have got to the prem in the first place without him as holt''s goals dried up a little bit towards the end of that promotion season, someone needed to score them.

Guest Posted August 19, 2014 Jackson scored some important goals which had a direct impact on our promotion to the Premiership, not sure why you have a problem with people celebrating/admiring that?Nobody is saying we should sign him or that he was an amazing player. There is way more to football than statistics, and for most fans, myself included, Jackson will always be associated with our most successful and enjoyable periods of recent times.Honestly Indy, you need to calm down a bit and accept that other people have the right to like whichever players they want without you foaming at the mouth with f-bombs because it doesn''t agree with your stats.
