We need to be winning them more.
We can do good things when we've got the ball, but getting the ball back is something that we want to be better at.
We want the other team to say when they line up against us on a Saturday afternoon, my goodness me, they're big.
And I think they're going to bite our ankles as well in a legitimate way, of course.
So this fellow, it sounds like he's a pretty darn good acquisition.
So if he turns out for them against us on Saturday, what have we got?
Very little is known about him.
He hasn't played for his first team.
He's played nine games for the kind of Man City reserves.
Mind you, that's going to be a heck of a side, of course.
And he's obviously got really good DNA because those old enough to remember his dad, Emil Heskey, will remember a guy who burst on the scene.
He was a tremendous athlete, a physical presence.
I remember one defender saying that he was chasing the ball down and he heard Emil Heskey coming up behind him and he said it was like being chased by Usain Bolt and then being hit by Mike Tyson.
Well, if Jadon's got any of that about him, then we'd better watch out.
However, he's a young lad.
It seems that if the best he can do, no offence to Sheffield Wednesday, but they are in what often gets called a parlous state.
If the best he can do is Sheffield Wednesday, then it may be that he's got some learning to do.
