    I cant remember the last time I saw players pointing into space as they made a run, it may have in part been down to the language barrier? The pass wasn't always made but AA, Raza and Pete Parsley, when he came on, were all doing this.

    Give it a couple of weeks and they won't dare do it.



    All this willingness to get forward nonsense. Shouldn't be allowed i tell ya!

    We have had 11 hard workers this season but no speed, skill, creativity or vision.

    Ajdarevic has three.
    Reza has skill and speed.

    So don't know why people are complaining. You cant have all hard workers like Church.

    Did Jackson step aside to allow him to take that free kick in the first half?

    No Jackson took it and it wasn't much better than Greens

    Did he take one in the second half? I'm getting very confused, and I was there.

    I liked what I saw. Was the first time I saw him play but it was evident that he has an understanding with Reza. Not afraid to try things. Definitely not a winger. I would have with in a 4-5-1 or 4-3-3. We really do need wingers. We need to stop playing Jackson in the middle and playing others out of their positions. Jackson should be starting as a sub.

    If you look at the delivery he took from the free kick which Randolph went down to collect in the first half, it was pretty much identical to the one that Birmingham had when they scored their 1st goal. The difference was that they had someone in the box willing to attack the ball, unlike us.

    Yes, I think he took one in the second half which Randolph saved comfortably but was at least on target. I thought the overhead kick was from Reza at the time!

    I wish he played with a bit more urgency - he seems happy to juggle the ball on the spot, but I don't remember him bursting past defenders on the wing to whip one in...

    With that skill I expected him to beat more players tbh, instead the times he did skill was usually standing still with defenders closing in, or flicking a ball on.

    Agree with this, also think that while skillful with the ball, looks a bit lazy when he doesn't have it, just seems to drift around with no actual purpose.

    Which is probably why he's better playing CM. Doesn't look to have much pace, but can certainly make something happen.

    seen him twice, I am not overcome with admiration, neither am I appalled by his incompetence .. given the present circumstance and his need to have a settling in period (which t b h we cannot afford him to have), he could become a very decent player, time will tell .. I wish him ALL the luck going .. he's gonna need it

    Summed it up for me, when Reza tried to chase a through ball and ran into Sordell who was standing still in front of him.

    Got to own up, I said that I thought he was rubbish last week, but he played well yesterday, his only downfall may be his lack of pace.

    His game doesn't appear to be based on speed and athleticism though - that's where the likes of Cousins or Poyet would come in and balance things. In the same way, Jackson a few years ago was pretty slow, but his timing was excellent and he was in the right place regardless of his low speed. It's only recently JJ has got just too slow to be effective (for me.)
    I agree, but I also reckon he's way short of match fitness. He did well to last the game, he's not the quickest but his close control really is excellent. Although he lost the ball on one or two occasions, several times he came out of tight spots with the ball and making the Brum defenders look a little silly.

    Reza was in like a bullet on Astrid's free kick in the second half though.

    He put in a few pretty strong challenges, and was mixing it a bit with one or two Brum players - certainly not afraid to get stuck-in, which is a good combination along with his undoubted talents. Apparently when he was at Liverpool a couple of years ago, they initially likened him to Patrik Berger, and I can see why.

    Agreed, but we can't afford players with a low work-rate in a 4-4-2 CM positions - if he's going to drift and be an attacking play-maker, then we need two other midfielders to close down the opposition. In a 4-4-2, we might lose control of the central position if we don't have two players willing to get challenges in, which is fulfilled by Jackson Cousins and Poyet

    The whole time Solly is out id rather we played a 3-5-2 with Wilson as wing back. Wiggins can play left wing back when he returns as well. Let AA play a free role with cousins and Poyet behind him.

    Very very impressive home debut from the lad.

    Has everything you looking for in a modern attacking midfielder, except for sheer pace but certainly makes up with smart movement and vision.

    I really liked the amount of work he did off the and was always looking to make space and often was waving his hands and screaming from the ball, cant remeber ever seeing a Charlton player do that in last 2 years.

    100% needs to be bought into the centre given a free/playmaker role, just behind a pair of strickers playing alongside Poyet, with Cousins cleaning up behind.

    Do fear until Wiggins/Solly and a pair of decent wingers are bought into the squad he will continue to be utilised wide and will not be as effective.

    That could work, although tbh our central defenders are terrible and I'm not sure we have a third one worth any salt. Instead a 4-5-1/4-3-3- would allow us to use pace on the wings and ping things onto Polish Peter's head, or play more narrow and have Reza run onto through-balls

    Disappointed he did not take the first half free kick which Jacko fluffed. The one in the second half was a bit too far out for that type of technique.

    Liked the look of him and may be an ideal replacement for Dale, if he had pace, then he may have made it at Liverpool.

    Personally would love to see him here longer than the 6month loan , and seeing as he's only 23 recon he could easily be the creative midfielder we have been screaming for (other thank Stephens of course). Looks very skillfull and has a cutting edge

    You and me both. I thought he was no better than decent.

    We can't afford to play 4-4-2 away from home at all. Pack the midfield, and nick goals like Brum. With this Ajadevic, Jackson and Reza we should have enough to nick goals.

    i dont understand why that if we have no wingers we just dont play 3-5-2!

    So with Wiggins injured, who exactly do you have in mind as the left wing back? Evina?! Harriot??! Jackson??!!

    Evina or Lennon. Evina is probably better going forward than defending and the further up the pitch he is the less damage he can cause us!!

    We should be playing 3-5-2 while Solly is out.
