Cameron Jerome was woeful today... i'm not sure he's best suited to a 4-5-1 the way we play it but even when we went 4-4-2 he looked off the pace and not interested. there were chances we could have created a bigger threat but either he wasn't up with the pace of the game of he was looking for the wrong ball. they had a young lad in goal and someone Jerome's size should really have put him under more pressure but he took the back post instead of the middle of the box... then when he had the chance to wrap the game up he missed a 1-on-1... his decision making is poor at best sometimes... we had another chance of a break but couldn't take advantage of it because Jerome was still strolling from an offside position... chance wasted. today he was poor but who can blame him - who have we got to make him fight for his place? |

I will put my hand up and say I am always one of the people that sticks up for CJ against the Jerome-Bashers, but like I give credit where credit is due, I do also accept when criticism is deserved. Today he was woeful. Werent jumping for headers, very poor awareness and touch, backing out of challenges, had zero passion, very very far from the Jerome we see week in week out. Not one of his better games, but he is a great player with heaps of potential, and hopefully he will put things right the next time we play against Liverpool. |

If only this boy had a brain. Like i've said before, he is pretty much an average player with better than average power and pace. |

regardless of stats or whatever atm hes the best that we have in that department and untill that situation changes it would probably be best if everyone got behind him. must admit he was frustrating to watch today and whilst i know he didnt get the service when the ball was in and around him he seemed to be moving in the wrong direction a lot of the time. still our top scorer from last season though and with better supply could maybe get a few more this year. |

haha! :LMAO: Brilliant Bluenosekev! It's true, he's a donkey... Seb or someone played a peach of a through-ball he could have ran on to today, he may be quick in the legs, but not in the head - the time he saw it, it was too late. Should have replaced him with our new donkey, Zigic.... (I jest). By the way I still get behind him because he's wearing a Blues shirt - it's just when he miss-kicks the ball I mutter under my breath... |

And yet still had a hand in both of the goals. Funny that. The fact that after we scored the second, Bowyer, Ferguson and Gardner practically disappeared, Fads was still carrying his groin strain and Larsson was nealy scythed in two by the referee best man, Kevin Davies, meant that Jermore was reduced to an active participant in the Standing Around With Nothing To Do Championships. Hardly his fault. Yes, he missed a one-on-one, but then they've never been a particular strong point of his. But he does run around, he does drag defenders with him, he has got pace to burn, and he does know where the net is, (but not the keeper sometimes it seems) But still, lets all shout obscenities at him and tell him he's useless. That'll make him a better player. |

Perfect point, he is the best weve got, so what do we do SUPPORT him.. Thats the point were trying to get across, hes not as bad as some people make him out to be, but hes the best weve got so why slate him? He will score goals this year, when he gets one hell have abit of confidence to get another, just getting off the mark, were 3 games into the season scored 10 goals, lets be happy! and besides, Gardner is turning into a real gem! |

tell you what though that 9 million or so wanted for chucho and the six million wasted on Zigic is starting to look a bit of mistake although Alex must have seen Chucho behind the scenes and he should know if it was worth it or not. I am worried that Zigic isn't going to cut it in the Prem, very worried, he didn't even get on the field today, he started the Rochdale match and looked lost! |

kevin davies is a striker, and he has more fouls against him than ANY other premier league player. That is an official statistical fact. Now im all for goin in hard but fair, I have often said I like players who play that was but he is just a horrible dirty little man. If I saw him in the street he is one of a few people I would have to hold myself back from giving a right slap to. |

Read my post. Let me know at which point, did I 1)Call him useless? Or 2)Shout an obscenity at him. I aint gotta clue what goes through the head of a small section of the people on this forum, moan when I always stick up for Jerome, and I still get moaned at when I admit he had a bad game. I think my post was perfectly in line with what happened. |

you can use figures to suit your argument... he needs to do more to create chances for himself, ie finding space, using his strength and pace to get in behind defenders... he's an average Premier League striker, nothing more, so let's not kid ourselves he's up there with Drogba, Rooney et al. |

Dont think OP was making him out to be Drogba/Rooney or that Derbyshire is as good as Torres. Just pointing out he will score 1/5 chances, but the reasons they score more goals if because they will maybe get 4 or 5 chances a game, CJ doesnt get that service here. Hes better than the champ but definately not better than blues standard prem, hes doing alright. Cant complain, hes been good for us over the years, Give the lad a chance to get into the season yeah?! |

Jerome is not to blame for any result. However, he does not seem to be improving. His overall footballing ability still fails whether he takes chances or not. He never comes to the ball, he is always running away, so simple for defenders to read what he is going to do. |

Did every knocking him somehow miss that he was actually directly involved in both goals, he was credited with the assist for the roger johnson goal and he headed back across goal for gardner for the 2nd |

it is a shame i was hoping he would move on as a player as well but he has stood still and in some areas gone backwards. He has a thankless task the way we play at times but that is still no excuss. |

Just because I'm quoteing you, doesn't mean I'm disagreeing or having a go at you. My comments are a follow on from yours. Yes, today he may have not been up to scratch, but today he helped set up two goals, and some would have him as the worst player ever to pull on a Blues shirt. My comments weren't directed at you, and I apologise if it came off that way. |

I can't see stats for how many times he has toast for breakfast. I can't see stats for how many times he drives over the speed limit. I can't see stats for how many times he gets a question right on Who Wants to be a Millionare. I can't see stats for how many beers he had on his 18th birthday. I can't see stats for how many dumps he takes a day. I can't see stats for his highest Tetris score. These are all about as relevant as the ones you posted, because when it comes to strikers, all that counts is appearances and goals. That's it. He's the highest scorer at the club since Forse, yet he gets none of the acclaim. And the stats say he's got as good a ratio of apperances to goals as Forse. So why all the hate? Can't think of any possible reason why, can you? |
