Not Premiership quality. I think we're in the bottom three lowest-scoring teams in all four divisions. That's all there needs to be said really.

Jerome is a great impact sub, to bring on when defenders are tired and are then faced with his blistering pace. Even then, his value is in unsettling them rather than scoring goals. He just hasn't got a goal-scorers brain.

What's he scored this season in the league? Three goals in far more playing time than Zigic, who has four, and half as many as midfielder Gardner, who has six. Even Ridgewell has more goals in the league than our main striker!

No, he really isn't going to ever get any better. Jerome will be 25 this year. If he was ever going to be a Premiership quality striker, he'd have done it by now.

In a way I'd like to see Jerome go on loan to another Prem team to see how he'd get on.

The goal we scored yesterday came about entirely because of a very clever ball by Jerome.

I agree that Jerome should be used as an impact sub. I'm struggling to remember the last time that he was on the subs bench :unsure:

Best games Jerome has played for us (IMO) have been on the left-wing as sub.

sorry, but after today................still not up to prem standard.................useless in fact!!

Considering Kevin Phillips said Jerome had a great game yesterday, and he's played the game for about fifty years, we can safetly consider your opinion to be devoid of any validity whatsoever.

:banghead:

I propose this next year:

As Jerome is a striker that cannot finish, but does run, we will get a similar striker to play with him.

Also, we shall replace our current goalkeeper with one that cannot catch, or use his hands at all.

Then, we will scrap our current back 4, as they can do their jobs successfully, and we will get 4 players there that cannot tackle. Oh, but they have to be able to run.

Then when Larsson leaves, we will sign no less then TWO wingers, both that cannot cross the ball. However, they should be required to run around alot.

See what I am saying here? Why have players in the team that cannot perform the simple skills required for that position.

We're playing well now Phillips is in the team. What is the striker, Kevin Phillips' best skill?
FINISHING.

Foster is a great keeper, because he is a great SHOT STOPPER.

Jerome, is a great striker, because he is great at RUNNING.

Always gives 100 % yes he needs to score more we all know that but the last couple of games , ie Bolton and Blackburn, both notable for having extremely good defensive in the air, I think Cameron is improving no end in the air and won most headers and flick ons in both games.

Get off his back, encourage him and it will give him more confidence to put the bal in the back of the net. He would be in my starting 11 every week !!!!!

Jerome is a terrible footballer. I dont need to explain why, i watch him every single week home and away, anyone can run about and give 100%, when his on the ball he does nothing, when his off the ball he runs and does nothing. He has no skill or no football attributes what so ever other than the fact he has pace and good energy, this is not going to win football games, how long can you keep defending a player for?

He looks a little happier in his game. The number of lofted balls over the top that puts him up on his own against 4 defenders and a goalkeeper seem to have lessened. Other players are getting forward more and he has others to play with.

He has recently turned a little more provider than scorer and there is nothing wrong with this as long as the ball gets in the net. The passing he is doing should help his game and his touch.

Come on Cameron keep it up son lets see if you can weigh in with a couple of goals on Saturday.

He has two priceless assists in the last two games both the product of clever lay offs. Talking of laying off.....

mate its you who knows nothing about football. Cam got 11 prem goals last season you have a look how many have scored more than that with six games left this season.
You think a manager as knowledgable as Mcleish (the best in our history) would continually pick him if he didnt add something to the side???
Have a serious word with yourself!!!

no not one bit; personally i'm a huge fan of Jerome, what he does for the team and i'm amazed how given hit attitude he isn't more favoured by the fans. It's just it's probably the last thing i would have expected from Bobby!

Somebody implanted my sane thoughts into someones head.

He is the equivalent of Usain Bolt running the 100m because he can kick a football around.

Positives:

. Jerome is a hard working player
. Jerome is strong
. Jerome is quick
. Jerome is reasonably young
. Jerome tires down defences

Negatives:

. Finding it hard to hit the back of the net
. Attitude problem/unhappy in the dressing room/too shy - take your pick
. He can't score on his own up front

My opinion:

I think if we played Jerome up front with another player other than Zigic up front he will have more chance of getting goals, I also think once he gets a goal with his feet that is not a tap in, it may spur him on for the rest of the season and for any other season he does this. I also think he may be low on confidence because he wants to stay at this club and may feel he can only downgrade himself.

Just highlighted a few adjustments id make, but I agree.

Age is on his side aswell, but that would be good at a club where he was backup, not first choice. He may develop, but we need players now who will score, as in 3 or 4 years time when he might improve, he might have moved on anyway if we get relegated.

Also, he has a major attitude problem. He may be unhappy or whatever, but he is arrogant aswell.

My dads second in command used to work as liason for players families and mascots, away fans etc. Jerome would never stop to sign autographs for the kids, or would rarely and would never have a smile of his face. Unlike the real pros like Taylor, Phillips etc.

He is a miserable git, and i've got no time for anyone like that. He is like a less famous Balotelli. Stop sulking, get your bottom out and start earning at least half of that wad of cash you earn.

You're as thick as pig excrement you really are, you and all the other remedials that get on his back every game.

Have you ever stopped to consider why he's miserable? Could it be something to do with the fact that his own supporters jeer him for trying his best, moreso than any other player, regardless of performance?

If I'd just come off the back of a season leading the goal scoring charts with double figures in the premier league, to the kind of reception he gets down the blues then I wouldn't be smiling either, stuff your autographs.

Good finish against Bolton though wasn't it?

The sooner you dim witted idiots realise he is a player that relies on confidence and the backing of his own supporters, the sooner you'll see him score goals.

Fernando Torres is a confidence player too you know.

Surely Jerome is being picked at present ( and "bigged up" by the manager) because we have no other options. Zigic ( who had started to play well and score) is injured, and so is Martins. Because those two can't play, Jerome has to, and Big Eck is accepting that we are going to get no goals from him by including Phillips.
Hard work should be a gimme for a Blues player; so I don't give credit to Jerome for that. At £25k+ a week, I expect all the players to break a sweat. Pace is no use without ball control; you have to take the ball with you.
Jerome is 25 now; he's not going to get any better. What you see is what you get; and for me, he is well off the standard we need.

I watched the Carling Cup Final tother day and we won 2-1 against Arsenal and the fact of the matter is Nichola Zigic was bleedin useless! Jerome, for all his obvious weaknesses, is a FAR better player. In my view if we'd have played the entire season with Jerome & Phillips up front we'd be sitting in the middle of the table by now.
