When I saw him lying comatose on a street in [?] Ibiza a couple of years ago I really feared that our Jack was spiralling downwards uncontrollably. But now I dare to hope he has un-messed his head and is going to show us what some always believed he was capable of. Although immensely unfashionable to say such a thing, I have a sneaky feeling that Steve Bruce has handled him better than a succession of more Villatalk-favoured managers sucky as Garde, RDM. I think that last paragraph is probably true. Think the injury might turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Maybe help him focus and its allowed him to get himself stronger and faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 So Bruce did know how to shape the team around Jack then Has been handled very well, and I think the injury at the start of the season has really intensified his mind set. He's had a glimpse of missing out and appears he didn't want to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a glimpse of missing out and appears he didn't want to It does seem like he's been handled perfectly. He almost accepts getting fouled now and tries to carry on. Runs with the ball more often, is strong when on the ball. He's a class act and getting better. This is the Jack that we've always thought he could be.

roonst83 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Finally showing how good he can (and let's face it, should!) be for us. Hoping he stays clear of injuries as he's easily our most influential player in our team. He's absolutely essential to our play off hopes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 So good in himself but it’s more than that IMO. His presence means we have 3 players with the type of ability to worry an opposition rather than 2. That of itself enables the other 2 to achieve a bit more and it finally means we are giving the opposition something to worry about rather than us worrying about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played well today and good to see him getting a decent run in the team. He is one of our assets if we can play to his game more where possible we will benefit greatly imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted January 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2018 I love the fact he rarely gives the ball away or makes the wrong decision. His passes are usually weighted perfectly. He is pure class and i hope we get to see him in his prime. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Starting to find the consistency to his game and looks a real threat as a result - keep it going jack ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sidcow Posted January 14, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2018 He's a beautiful footballer to watch. Just seems to glide with the ball and ease past players. They seem to foul him before they even know they have done or why they did it. He just always moves the game forwards, a turn, a run, a pass. Our play cannot help but be attacking and positive when he's played. Chuffed to bits for him after a couple of wobbly years. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We always talk about his wobbly years but honestly what did we expect in the mess we were over the past years, we finally have a bit of stabilty in terms of manager ownership ect professionals at the club Terry Jedi Snodgrass ect a diffrent manager rubbish players and a toxic environment was not going to aid his career, we were linkied with Coutinho under Lambert imagine if he did sign him back then,I doubt he would have developed into a £140 million player he would probably be in the same boat as Adama! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack has unfortunately come through at the wrong time. That has stunted his development and then his own immature behaviour has made it worse. Think this could now be the new beginning he needs.

Nigel Posted January 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2018 His introduction has really kicked the team onto another level. We were becoming easy to play against as all teams had to do was double up on our wingers and we were toothless. Jack has added another threat which has also taken the spotlight off the wings the free them up a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted January 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2018 I admit a couple months ago I thought we'd be fine never seeing Jack play for us again. After that fabulous cup semi he'd been a waste of space. Now, things have changed. He has changed. He's very important creating things and making room, especially for Adomah, to do his bit. These two, together with Snodgrass, are a real force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught between the devil and the deep blue see. If we don’t make it up he’s to good for the Championship and he’ll be snapped up. We’ve so got to get promoted this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
