Reckoner 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Do you think that Cureton deserves a place in the starting line-up after tonight?This is a genuine question, i''m not having a go or anything, we all have our opinions on players, but i know that you are a firm supporter of Jamie. Yes he works hard and has ''yellow and green blood'', but is he really deserving of a first team place, in your opinion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony DaWonderful 35 Posted February 3, 2009 All our goals were from weak defending.Marsh for the first. Looked like Russell and Semmy for 2nd and 3rd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,606 Posted February 3, 2009 Somedays I feel Wiz might forgive Jamie for urinating on his carpets. But good rsult anyway, for the sake of team spirit I wouldnt change the starting 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you ignore the result, and ignore the state of the match when he had the chances (especially the first), then the fact is that he should have scored.But anyway, not trying to take anything away from what was a good result, well done lads [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Chirp 0 Posted February 3, 2009 I''d back jamie to score against Bristol City... Wiz is right... 3 goals leaked again is an issue... But the misses will cost us... I would love him to do well... i reckon lets just wait and see... Lets not get on his back. Well done tonight... i am as proud as ever tonight to be a Norwich supporter.

Gentleman Jim 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Every striker, no matter who, goes through a bad patch, Jamie is no exception.As we have no reserve team we can''t drop him to a lower grade to regain his form, so the only other option is to keep picking him until he plays his way back into scoring. Unfortunately, for him, we are near the bottom of the league and are not not in a position to allow him this lattitude, plus we now have forward cover so I think his opportunities will be few and far between from now on. Let''s hope he grasps them when they do come because he is a very good little player and contributes a lot to our team I feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We always seem to have to get on the back of one player don''t we ? So I suppose we will drive Jamie away then find someone else for a whipping boy eh ?

Victor Segura 0 Posted February 4, 2009 He misses to many chances,people going on about his team contribution i disagree,he doesn''t close the oposition down like McKenzie did and he doesn''t seem to create to many chances for others,i can''t help but think with the new signings he is on his way out at the end of season.

[/quote]But on this forum, or at the games for that matter, you will find that Doherty had a lot of admirers too. Not for his beautiful defending (!) but his no-nonsense, all-for-the-cause attitude, and because - apart from a few shaky moments - he gets the job done.Jamie is in the team to score goals. Not for his link up play, not for his pace, not for his physical presence. Just to score goals. And he is not doing his job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Butler 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Unfortunately JC was always a one season wonder.Was not good enough when he was here before and realy not good enough now.If the team is going to progress then some of the mediocrity needs to be got rid of.We have been plagued with his level for far to long and with to many of his calibre.Let him go back to a level he can score goals at.He might bleed yellow and green but we need goals not blood.

YankeeCanary 0 Posted February 4, 2009 I believe Butler''s point was that 75% of Jamie''s goals have been scored at a level lower than the Championship plus, given the passing years, it''s unlikely that he''s going to now discover the joy of being prolific at a higher level.

He has time on his side, and cost us peanuts. Whereas JC is all but over the hill, and cost the best part of a million squid. It''s a different point, for a different case altogether.

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted February 4, 2009 I like JC, another one of my all time fave NCFC players, even in his first stint with us (when he had a stinking bad attitude) I liked him, he just spouted passion for NC, and right now that passion is what we need.Personally though I would prefer it if he could get one goal every other game minimum, and he has been a bit barn door lately, I reckon and I might be wrong, that he is pressurising himself far too much, he should just go out on the pitch and enjoy playing. If he''s relaxed and doesn''t put himself under pressure I think some goals will come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cody may not make the grade but it will cost us very little to find out, whereas Jamie has proved since breaking into the professional ranks 15 years ago the best days of his career ( which at 33 are probably in the past ) was scoring goals at a lower level. The prudent thing is to look for an opportunity to replace him when it appears, and I''m sure we will. In the meanwhile, let''s all be happy at the mini-turaround we are seeing at the moment and hope we can tuck a couple of quick wins under our belt to push us away from danger.
