Disco Dale 0 Posted August 23, 2008 I know he has been a bit frustrating but its not going to do anyone any good to start getting on his back.No one really has yet.But I think its coming.We have to remember he doesnt miss on purpose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AP16 0 Posted August 23, 2008 I have to agree with you. He wont find any scoring form if people start to jump on his back, and at the moment we need our strikers to find their feet! However, there''s only a limited amount of time he can have to keep missing chances......needs to start sticking them away soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Pirate 0 Posted August 23, 2008 I feel sorry for the guy, I think it was a mistake to come back to Norwich. He wants to prove himself so bad he has made a rod for his own back. If he left for a league one side I think his natural scoring ability would return. Until then he would be best used coming on from the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 0 Posted August 23, 2008 He''s been missing far to many chances since he''s been back here, he''s had plenty of time and I''m afraid he''s not good enough. I would imagine Roeder will drop him next week, in fact I was very surprised that Roeder didn''t try and offload him in the summer. He probably would have done if he hadn''t already needed to get so many new players in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charles 0 Posted August 23, 2008 You may not like him Crafty Canary and think he''s crap but he''s a norwich player and you should get behind him. Booing or getting on his back will only worsen the situation. As a previous poster stated, the likes of Earnie or Phillips, i.e natural scorers cost money which the board refuse to spend. Jamie is clearly short of confidence ansd is struggling for form but its not for a lack of effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Hotrod 0 Posted August 23, 2008 If we''re "stuck with him" then we should support him to get the best from him. I believe this is how we''ll get the best from him anyhow. I thought his general play was good against Blackpool. He''s been stuck for that long on 199 goals I think its jinxed him. I have a feeling he''s got a special "200 goals vest" which he''s been wearing every game and it''s a bad luck omen for him!I really think he need''s our support at Birmingham next week and that he will repay us.
