Jackson thrills Lambert

Norwich manager Paul Lambert has saluted striker Simeon Jackson for his contribution to their successful start to the season. Lambert partnered Jackson with Grant Holt at Bristol City on Saturday and the former Gillingham frontman responded with a well-taken brace in the 3-0 win which lifted the Canaries to third. "His first goal I thought was top class," said Lambert. "His second one, which was a difficult one, was a terrific finish, but he's been excellent. "He's not played much football and he has had to wait patiently - it's a squad game. Him and Grant gave them problems the whole game and Simeon does what he is good at, getting on the end of things and being quick. "One thing about Simeon Jackson is he is a brilliant pro, and he has never once let his head go down when he's not been in the side."
