No heart, no chase, pulls out of every 50 50, can't read the game and a rubbish first touch. Surely AMC must be looking toward Zigic and Derbs as our front line

Zigic had a worse game than jerome who was our top scorer last season btw, he's pace is always a threat.

How can u even imply that Zigic was better than Jerome, Jerome had to keep chasing lost balls that were meant for Zigics head and the only service he had was Zigic's head So I Dont think he was bad at all, put alot of effort in, but no service !

Zigic is off the pace i'll agree, but Jerome was never a threat today, its the same story week in week out then He'll have one good game and we're duped again

Jerome is not a threat because hes not really getting the ball to his feet, OK I know that sometimes he makes the odd mistake with his feet but come on, if he had the ball at his feet so he could at least make an opportunity to shoot, he may cause damage, just look at the the very 1st minuite when we booted it up to zigic he knocked it down, then i think he passed it to jerome and after his footwork he pulled off a shot which was going bottom corner - granted it was too weak to go in, but i didnt see many other blues players pulling off shots apart from Gardner.

Must admit I wasn't impressed today for most of the game. Sometimes I think he is a very gifted athlete, powerful, pacey, but he just isn't a footballer. Doesn't have a very good footballing brain, isn't the smartest player. Unfortunately he is the only player in our team with pace. But I sometimes think that defenders don't worry too much about him because they know that more often than not , so long as you can keep him from getting into a one on one situation with the keeper, he isn't going to do anything and will probably mess up.

But it was only one game, and he is still only young.

Another thing I noticed is that he seemed to wake up and perform a little better when Derbyshire came on. Jerome has had the luxury of pretty much being an automatic choice over the past 2 or 3 seasons. Finally it appears we may have some competition for his place and hopefully this will force him to up his game.

Whatever Jerome does he's wrong, unless he scores. And even then a lot of people will say 'it was only a tap in/easy header/bundled' etc. Today I could hear so many people shouting for him to do something he eventually seemed pressured into a foul.

I also noted that when he does something good, like pressure one of their defenders into giving away a throw in the Jerome-haters are silent. He was getting berated for not chasing down balls that Usain Bolt wouldn't have caught.

Fair enough he didn't have an outstanding game today but he was not the worst and persoanlly I thought he was ok. I have full faith in Cam and a few more people having a bit more faith might just give him a bit more confidence, it can't be easy to be playing under pressure with your own supporters slagging you off from the stands.

What summed him up for me was that ball across the blackburn box about 20mins in from seb, Jerome didn't follow in like an instinctive forward like KP does. Had he followed in where it broke free he'd be in a prime scoring position

Hardly a stand out game for anybody IMO, especially first half! Only really Foster and Gardner really stood out...It was complete backs to the wall job for the closing stages of the second half, so I guess Roger and Scott deserve a mention too... but the rest werent particularly good really were they.

The very little service Jerome got, he tried.. so I wouldnt say "no heart" at all... I cant remember many passes into Jerome's feet where he could have a run with the ball, it was either long balls up to the front, or hoofed clearances during our backs to the wall thing which he had no chance of getting on the end of.

Why not, the man pulls out of every challenge in the air, players with heart dont. Call me a hater or what you want. I'm sick of waiting for his confidence to rise and him to turn it on. If he wants the crowd behind him do something good he's had enough chances

He was our top scorer last year, matured as a player a bit, and still people will slate him and say "he's had enough chances"...


The problem is that no matter what he does, he'll never be good enough for some people.

He has done good things!! Screamer against Liverpool and a brace against Blackburn within a couple of weeks of each other and loads of people slagged him! So what's the point in him doing anything!?

and 50/50 challenges with Blackburn defenders end up with broken legs!

I listened to it on BRMB and had Gillette Soccer Saturday on (muted).

They were saying Blackburn were being very clever by dropping deep so Jerome had no space to run in behind and use his pace.

McCarthy was saying if Zigic had dropped closer, Samba and the rest of their back 4 would have pushed up - allowing Jerome to chase after his headed knock-ons and behind their defensive line.

But as Zigic was furthest man forward, Jerome didn't really have chance to use his pace against them...

...Possibly.

I Always thought Jerome was further forward because Zigic kept coming back to defend the set pieces.

You know what yeah, people can quote me on this in a few years time.

One day, Jerome is gonna leave this football club, and every single on of you that slagged him off, is gonna realise exactly what he brings to this team, even when he isnt scoring.

Mark my words.

4 goals in 2 games is an accomplishment to any club (excluding chelsea of course)
