The player management of Jebbison

Our results since he returned would be the same if he was still on loan at Burton. If he's just going to sit on the bench as 'cover' could've had one of the academy lads do that.
 



Seems to be rated by fans on a tap in against Everton. Whenever he's come on (admittedly not much), doesn't seem to have much about him. Not really athletic or quick from what I see. He may need a run in the team to establish himself, but now is not the time for that. If we are trying to make the play offs, we cant be using up games to educate a teenager......
 
One thing Jebbison has proved is that he can score goals at a decent level at a young age and was doing well at Burton until we brought him back.

If Billy's fit he has to start but I'm surprised we haven't seen more of Jebbison other than the cameo appearance the other week. He's one of a very short list of alternatives who have actually scored this season.

I'd say that playing Gordon at the back is more of a risk than playing Jebbison up front.

I don’t give a toss if they know more than us 😂 it’s bordering on negligent how we’ve treated him. If he’s not ready you don’t recall him, you loan someone in.

Who though? It's easy to say 'just loan someone', but who are you loaning at that sort of notice? We don't have much money. We don't have a good track record for getting deals done quickly. We do have a lad on our books who can be recalled and fill the requirement of back up striker. That's what he's done. If he's not getting many minutes it's because the people paid to make these decisions have made that call.

Exactly. And he’d be getting much needed match exposure, being coached by one of the ned

A 25 minute cameo v a manager who knows him better than someone who saw him run around a bit as a substitute.

A manager who gives McBurnie minutes over him. I'll reserve my own judgement on whether PH has the right side of this.

Nominated for player of the month in L1 twice in 6 months. International recognition at his age group. Came on against Blackburn and actually looked like he could run and play the position.

But yeah, lets run everyone into the ground or waste minutes on McBurnie who just looks broken
 
We recalled him for the same reason we loaned him out - because he’s ours and we can. We have an injury crisis; it would have been absurd to not have him as an option. Even if that option doesn’t present itself that often. PH has answered the Jebbison question numerous times and given plenty of reason, predominately relating to tactics and shape. Maybe he thought Osula was a better option last night. Maybe there’s not much else to it.
 
I watched a full Burton game in January and to be honest, I didn't think he was very good in it. It was only one game but he just looked, well, raw as you might expect.

He - and we - would have been far better off leaving him there where he would have got a lot of minutes in his boots and come back next season all the better for it.

That he was recalled because of an injury crisis that has actually got worse, and he still isn't being used, is just a testament to the sort of continual bad decision making we've seen time after time in the last two years.

I wouldn't want him to play and then have his confidence dented as that's not a good thing for a forward. He's a bet on the future and he should have been treated as such. As it is, nobody has benefited.

"Rated by tap ins "

"Not really athletic or quick from what I see"

Are you sure you aren't confusing Jebbison with Lord Bill there Alan Birchenall's hair

Im not quite sure you can say he isn't quick or athletic from what I have seen of him he is the most athletic we have in the entire squad and there aren't many more 19 year old's as fast and athletic as him

I agree fully with this

Hecky is not selecting him for a good reason - prob only known to himself - I have seen very little to support the acclaim that Jebb is getting , I say this as I have also watched him for Burton

If he's not good enough, which we should know from watching him regularly, we should've loaned someone in from the PL who might be. And leave our asset ripping up League One, learning from one of the best in the business.

Not hard is it?

I think not playing at all in the midst of an injury crisis with constant Sat/Tues games is even worse...
 
He may well become the next Alan Shearer or Harry Kane. But what I've seen of him doesn't add up to a Championship striker at the moment. Mind you, when the competition is Mcburnie, maybe I should have a rethink......
 
Can I just say. I'm always mesmerised by this thing where something does or doesn't happen, someone is or isn't picked, someone does or doesn't get minutes. And then people start looking for hidden meanings & messages & theories. Like Scooby Doo, Father Brown, Death In Paradise & Shakespeare and Hathaway all rolled into one. Fascinates me...

Are you open to reason or have you formed your opinion and anyone else giving theirs is completely wrong? That’s pretty much how you come across.

Hecky would have preferred Lopata, Gordon and Jebbo stay out on loan. Needs must is the only reason they were recalled.

Lopata is the only one we didn't have a choice with.

Gordon could still be at Boston, Jebbison could still be at Burton.
We could've recruited instead.
 
My Canadian mate is fuming and reckons he's going to force a move away at the end of the season
 
If he was good enough to start in L1, which by January he was then he's good enough to provide an athletic cameo every other game at this level. Especially when our only competent forward is 36 and has already played more minutes this season than the last 2 combined.

We need to keep Billy fit for the next (hopefully) 12 games. If we are going to play him every minute he'll 1) likely pull a muscle 2) Become much less effective (see the last 2 games).

It's not a fact, but it's a very good theory as to why Osula got on before him.

It's not though, is it? It's adding 2 and 2 to get 5.

If Osula had been brought on with 15 to go while Jebbison kicked his heels then there's an argument that Osula maybe had done more to deserve his appearance. As it was, Osula was brought on in the 91st of 94 minutes which suggests to me it was to give him his first team debut. Same as Seriki at Newcastle last season.

It's a tricky one for Jebbison as Heckingbottom is trying to balance managing a side where the majority of players are either in the red zone or already injured and winning games of football. I have no doubt that, for argument's sake, had Berge's and Norwood's 'goals' been allowed and we been 2-0 up with 10 to go then the substitutions would have been different.
