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

So pleased that we go to different games. At the game I was at Jerome was full of running, created some interesting opportunities for himself which he didn't manage to put away. He worried Sam Allardyce enough to totally change the shape of his team to defend against Jerome who ripped them part last season at Stan's. The attention paid to Jerome allowed Gardner, and others, space to get us a just deserved victory.

Why do people have to slate our players so much? A bit better understanding of the game would, I am sure, help to see what results in apparent poor play.

The guy next to me hit the nail on the head early on, the midfield was not effective in the first half, and the supply to our strikers was not great, other than long balls which were badly place most of the time.

If he did leave Blues how many prem clubs would be queuing up for him? If he scores 15 goals this season I will apologise and eat my words And you can all ridicule me

i agree totally, when ridgewell put a poor/average cross into the box when no-where was there every-one had a go at him, he knows he did wrong, he'll correct it in future and im sure he would have heard thousands of fans sighing instead of shooting him down.

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.

I don't disagree with you to be fair Lukey mate.

Lmao! you wasnt watching the same game as us then, Zigic was awful and jerome didnt pull his weight as he normally would today, But Jerome runs after everything and hes so quick, zigic is slow all round ansd doesnt move, You can not replace jerome with the strikers we have at the moment. :Blues:

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.

Well, when we were attacking/had possesion/going forward, e.g; long balls upto him, Jerome had no space to run in behind.

Jerome, Zigic and Derbyshire were all rubbish today. Did pretty much nothing. Oh well, we won  :D

Derbyshire had no time to shine, i thought what he did do was good, Zigic was poor imo but he will come good

I agree with this though

Dont think the type of service Jerome feeds on was there today, Jerome likes the ball played low amnd in front so he can use his pace and doesnt have to think.

It was a hard game for all Blues forwards against an experienced and resulute Rovers, I will say though apart from the pen conceded Nico gives us a prescence at the back on set pieces, dont be to hard on the guy he's gonna need 6 months at least?

Id rather see the 3 used today than Gary O'Connor - sorry but its my opinion?

I Agree with most of that but O'Conner is a natural finisher for me and i rate him, however i would prefer Zig, Jerome, Derbyshire to him.

Zigic is a presence but is not making it good use, he will though.

Jerome probably did have a bad game today but does he really merit his own topic?! I don't see any other topics about players who had poor games. Jerome gets treated so badly by our fans, it's unbelievable really. Our top scorer last season is criticised every week when he doesn't score... I honestly don't get it.

Yep.

e.g Carr For his stupid Tackle to give away the pen against sunderland

He is constantly fouling, yet no-one moans about that week in week out, maybe the odd moan in 'the heat of the moment' but nothing long term.

Jerome is one of our best players! You don't have to score loads of goals if you are helping the team as a whole to score.

'No heart'...?? Very harsh!!! Not his best game I agree but I'm not having that!

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.

This.

Eleven Prem goals last season - quality return and I think he will at least equal that this year.

The ref was the problem tbh - he should have yellow carded the ball for deliberately tripping Jerome over twice...

Yes I agree Carr does like a hug or a pull in our area, which is worrying :redcard:

When Jerome was connecting with Chucho last season he looked a real threat. Jerome isn't a lone striker, he works in a partnership.

He and Zigic have not clicked yet, give it time.....

At most clubs the top scorer is cherished. Last year Benitez had loads of plaudits but Jerome stuffed him 11-4.

Oh but Benitez set them all up wee hi did contribute it must be said but Jerome did the business. We are enjoying premier league football this season mostly down to him.

You may not like that fact but there it is.

Unfortunately his critics will alway be there but considering he cost 3m rising to 4m and he secure premier league status football for us last season he has more than paid back both the transfer fee and the salary.

He is still learning the game and his positioning will improve. If we had a little more going forward who could provide more chances he would score his stats last year were excellent.

I think he would thive if we got behind him a but more he deserves it.

If your reading this Jerome you have your fans your big your strong you have an excellent shot and you give 100% in every game.
Overtime maturity will improve your timing and the critics will have to look in wonder. until then bag your ten this year and shut the ******s up (AGAIN!!).

Replying to the OP he was dreadful he is 5 seconds behind the game in his head, his body language / persona is awful.

Needs a good kick up the backside.

So the Blackburn defenders just ignored him?

Forced him out,kicked his shins for good luck?

They must have had an easy afternon, shame they didn't bring their deckchairs fela !
