Time to go Delia 0 Posted February 26, 2017 Cameron Jerome just does not come up to scratch , a lone striker who misses sitter after sitter is of no use whatsoever . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paddycanary 538 Posted February 26, 2017 You could argue Defoe was the difference last year. How are Sunderland still in the Premier League? Looking likely we''ll be playing them next year though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Budapest Canary 152 Posted February 26, 2017 Jerome scored 5 in his last 8 games which is not a bad return. He''s over 30, and although he still has great pace and his work rate is duly praised, he could do with some resting or being used as a sub, which would probably improve his accuracy. Oliveira''s injury is not his fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarclayWazza 91 Posted February 26, 2017 Jerome looked knackered after about 70 minutes and the amount he was caught offside or didnt go for the ball because he was slow to come back from an offside position was ridiculous. I know he''s not flavour of the month but surely even a hungover Lafferty would have been more use on the pitch than Jerome was for the last 20 minutes.

morty 0 Posted February 26, 2017 Exactly Budapest.Oh and whatever the question is, the answer isn''t "Lafferty". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,283 Posted February 26, 2017 Maybe we should have bought in a young cheap striker who can back up Jerome & Oliviera in January knowing Laffs wasn''t the answer, I''m a tad BOGLE''d why we didn''t buy him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted February 26, 2017 We do only have 2 strikers that Neil is happy to play. This is ok when they''re both fit. But that''s not going to be too often. Laffs is not the player Alex Neil wants but he''s the player with the contract that Alex Neil would like to give to someone else.People point to the squad being unbalanced which it is in that regard. But for Norwich to have three quality strikers they''d have to get a Fash or Sutton come through the youth or spend a lot less on other areas. Alex Neil could rightly point to Lafferty blocking up a space. But he''d only have Lafferty''s contract to spend on someone else. he''d have to get lucky for it to be someone as good as the other two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted February 26, 2017 Did Jerome actually miss any sitters today?We seemed to have 1 plan - a ball over the full backs head into the space between full back and centre back in the hope that Jerome could make something happen. I can''t recall a keeper ever coming off his line to clear so often Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
