Jerome played at Tottenham whilst clearly injured and still put a decent shift in, the week before he was on crutches and couldn't play against Fulham. I didn't notice Derbyshire or Phillips doing any better in an easier game at home, also can you see Zigic playing with an injury, I don't think so he has had tests , scans and all sorts and still they cant find anything wrong with him, my guess is he doesnt give a s*** about the club and could easily have been playing.

Lay off Jerome I know he is not a natural finisher but he gives his all for the club unlike others and his all round game has improved a lot this season, he can hold the ball up now, he wins loads of headers and could be flicking it on for others except he is on his own up front so what do people expect of him ....miracles. Yes he should be better at scoring one on ones but thats about it.

The fact he got abuse from some so called fans is a disgrace as he gives everything he can week in week out unlike MANY others at the club.

So get behind him and with a quality striker alongside him next season they would take the championship by storm and score loads.

LOL , wondered if you would join the thread. Admit it u have a thing for him lol

I feel sorry for him for the abuse he receives from certain sections of supporters (ironic term for them), and wouldn't blame him if he wants away desperately

I agree

Drogba would have got single figures in our team this season - poor football - lack of regular partner

That is the whole picture ! not simply saying he is paid to score goals score them !

Some of the abuse he has got this year has been pitful and pathetic and very un blues fans like

I point all the abusers to the Fulham game - i rest my case

Rubbish, Drogba would have told the rest of the team where to pass and made sure of it.

ahh so Jerome is blamed for not being the manager or the midfield players as well now

cheers

Im glad some people have recognised that Jerome played on Sunday and gave what he had despite being clearly less than 50% fit.
If it was his last game for the club,im a bit sad to be honest.Hes always done whats best for the club.
And i agree.After Wembley - Zigic wasnt remotely interested and im not convinced he was that injured.Dont get me started on Hleb - who appeared to have glass ankles and legs made out chopsticks.
Wouldnt suprise me at all if a Stoke or Albion sign Jerome and get 10-15 goals out of him next season.
Cheers Cameron.if you are leaving,most intelligent Blues fans will miss you.

you ask 100 people at the end of the game, man of match, ratings etc etc and most will give different views. Look at full game replays of matches, see an isolated forward, who gets the ball pumped up to him, with a midfield still in their own box. that player is expected to beat 4 defenders and score goals on his own. the way we play i don't believe any player would score goals in our team playing the way we do. as most players once confidence drops its hard, with some of our 'supporters' its impossible.
if a player has a blue shirt on and is playing for bcfc then we support him or we should support him, to the hilt. get off his and other players backs and you might just see how good the can be, remember jon mccarthy......no more needs to be said

Whilst the support to ALL our forwards hasn't been great this season, because of negative tactics, I think the underlying factor is in 5 years at the club Jerome has NOT improved as a FOOTBALL player.

His finishing and touch have not improved, and his composure is even worse. Whilst I admit he is a confidence player, I think he is much better suited coming off the bench when there is less pressure on him against tiring defences. He is screamed at by the players on a match day, showing him where he should be running, as he does not have a football brain.

At times though he looks like he is working his socks off, he often chases lost causes, and his poor positioning attributes him to often be in an offside position/nowhere near where he should be. The prozone stats showed Zigic covers more ground a game than Jerome. I think the Spurs game highlighted Jeromes lazyness, as he should be running after every ball in a fight for survival! Drogba does it EVERY week when he plays for chelsea, covering the WHOLE pitch, and never giving up.

He is NOT a striker you can play on your own up front, which is the manager's fault for playing him there.

That said though, the fact that he has missed around 9 or 10 clear cut chances, which just one would've kept us up speaks numbers for me.

jerome is our main center forward who has not scored or looked like scoring for over 20 games, im told , probably league stats, and still played every week
i think its fair to say he may well get stick from our fans for a long time.

Championship striker but not a Premiership one.

His first touch is woeful, his finishing is poor, his intelligence is non-existant.

Keep him for this term, then cash in the following season.

Trouble is, I just know that if Jerome went to somewhere like Blackburn or Stoke, he would be putting in 10-12 goals a season, its just sods law.

How would you perform at work if every time you went in the boss told you to work by yourself, then when you weren't performing very well you have 20,000 people screaming how rubbish you are.....not very well I think!
Last season, when he had someone working with him, he scored 11 goals, that says to me Jerome can cut it in the Prem and I for one would be very upset if he left and went to a club that was on a par to ours and started scoring again because he was being treated properly and the team played to his strengths.

get real, if playing in the premiership and championship for that matter was just about pace and having the ability to run for 90mins, we could get in some 100m or 200m athletes. McCleish pinned his hopes on a player that cannot score goals and a 6ft 6in giant that had got no premiership experience at all. A recipe for a disaster and that's what we got.
no suprises here except that McCleish is staying. Blues were by far the most boring team in the league this year - there is no entertainment value going to St Andrews and we need it desparately. I would rather lose 3-4 at home than the normal 0-1 or 0-2's that we get to watch as a supporter. Where's the youngsters and the pace and the flair?

Message Jerome posted on his twitter:

"I would like to apologise to every single birmingham city fan on here,
you have all been brilliant all season and i cant believe we've gone down".


Well at least one player has apologised and thanked the fans. After stalking his profile for a while, it seems he is the only player who actually cares for the fans and the team itself (Not many other players have even mentioned anything about relegation).

Dont get me wrong, im not a fan of him, but he is a professional footballer for a reason. He is a pro footballer because when played in the right position with the right tactics he can bang them in left right and centre. It is clear that 451 is not his strong point, and being pretty much our only striker for the past couple of seasons it is down to McCleish to play Jerome to his strong points.

Stop knocking Jerome and bad mouthing him because if he leaves, you gonna rely on the big man to get us back in the prem? because i doubt he will even be here by August.

You guys are blues fans, so get behind the blues squad. I dont like half the players on the team as i think they lack commitment to the club itself but when they have a blues shirt on i get fully behind them and support them all the way. These Jerome haters should do the same.

Adam.

And yet again that word lazy is used to describe Jerome! Some our fans truly never cease to amaze me with their views.Many things he maybe but lazy clearly isnt one of them.

Jerome is a real pro. Something which cannot be said for every player in our squad this season.

I hope people get off his back next year. I still believe in him, even if he did have a torrid season.

The goals will come, if he has a partner to play alongside.

We needs new coaching, new tactics, new ideas. We don't need to replace him. We need someone to play with him.

He arguably receives more abuse from 'supporters' than any player in the squad, and yet he still comes out to be apologetic and commiserate with us all...

He's far better than me, as I wouldn't have been bothered... Good on you, Cam. **thumbup

That's a fair post. He sounds like a genuinely decent guy, and it's genuinely nice that he's taken the time to post an apology.

The fact remains that his game is seriously lacking in a number of important areas.

First touch, finishing, composure, positioning, passing, movement.

He needs to really improve next season and prove to us that he's worth his starting place - though McLeish also needs to realise he's not a lone striker, he needs a partner.

The fake one got shut down. He slagged off Andy Carroll, then had half of newcastle on his case (LMAO!) but then went to far with Rio Ferdinand. Was comedy gold while it lasted though!

That is still poor for a main striker.

Spurs: Pavlyuchenko 9, Crouch 4, Defoe 4

Everton: Beckford 8, Saha 7

Arsenal: van Persie 18, Chamakh 7

Vile: Agbonlahor 3, Darren Bent 17 (for Sunderland and vile)

Blackburn: Roberts 5, Kalinic 5

Blackpool: DJ 13, Taylor-Fletcher 6

Bolton: Elmander 10, Sturridge 8, Davies 8

Chelsea: Malouda 13 (an attacking midfielder), Drogba 11, Kalou 10, Anelka 6

Fulham: AJ 3, Zamora 5, Dempsey 12 (not a main striker)

Liverpool: Torres 9 (10 between Liverpool and Chelsea), Kuyt 13

Citeh: Tevez 20, Balotelli 6

ManU: Berbatov 20, Hernandez 13, Rooney 11

Newcastle: Carroll 11 (13 between toon and Liverpool), Ameobi 6, Best 6, Lovenkrands 6

Stoke: Kenwyne 9, Fuller 4, Walter 6

Sunderland: Gyan 10, Welbeck 6

west brom: Odemwingie 15

west ham: Demba Ba 7, Piquionne 6, Cole 5

wigan: Rodallega 9

wolves: Fletcher 10, Ebanks-Blake 7, Doyle 5

Blues: Ziga 5, Cam 3, Phillips 1, Derbyshire 0



That's 9 centre forwards that scored more than 12 goals this season in the league. Many would interpret your statement as saying the remainder have been poor. I would disagree.

With an attacking approach to the team, a regular partner like Chucho, and someone like Michel playing through balls past defenders, Jerome playing off the shoulders of defenders would bang them in.

However have a negative approach to the team, 10 players in their own half hoofing the ball onto Jerome's head whilst he is surrounded by 4 defenders, or hoofing it into the corner for Jerome to chase only to have no teammate within 30 yards of him, and he'll end up with 3 goals.

It's simple really.

Some years ago it used to be reckoned that to be considered good, you had to be a "20 goal a season" striker.

I think that these figures show that in modern football this phrase should be changed to a "10 goal a season" striker.
