Norwich City vs Birmingham City Saturday 9th September.

[Number 9]

And games played, I should have said

 

[dj161]

Jerome 16 in 40 or one in 2.5

Nelson 11 in 28 or one in 2.54

 

[Number 9]

Jerome 16 in 40 or one in 2.5

Nelson 11 in 28 or one in 2.54

Now that doesn't agree with my memory of events, selective memory syndrome i guess!

May I ask where the stats are from?

Hmm. I thought Oliveira had a good game although he didn't win a single header and missed a one-on-one (difficult admittedly), and bent another shot wide of the post. I don't think he's significantly better than Jerome in terms of what he brings to the team, but he does deserve to be starting at the moment. I wonder if he'll be rested and come on after 60 minutes tomorrow though. Or the other way round.

I think Jerome is a bit more (or a lot more) selfless in the way he plays and he will score goals but Oliveira is more of a threat. Oliveira is also the cleverer player in the way he can link up with his colleagues. 

 

[Number 9]

Cam 16 in 41 = 2.56

Nelson 15 in 32 = 2.13

Stats ex soccer base.

Either way your claim Cam doesnt score anymore isnt true.

i think Oliveira is much more of a pure goal threat but saying that I dont think many CBs would enjoy playing against Jerome. At the moment though Oliviera is scoring goals and working hard so deserves his place

i agree with that, Cam has been used to tire out defences, but I think his best spell with us was when he came on as sub and was very direct, shooting on sight.

Nelson is a different player, he does alter the course of games when he gets a goalout of nothing, againstthe run of play.

probably more scope for training on too, improving as a player, although I've yet to see if Farke improves players, time will tell us that.

I think Farke should have brought Cam Jam on for the last 15 minutes against Birmingham to be honest, looked like we'd run out of steam in the final third. Was his former club too and he's scored against a couple of his former sides since coming here, Cardiff last season for example. 

For me Oliviera is scoring goals at the minute and Cam Jam isn't, so Oliviera should be starting games and Cam Jam should be trying to impress off the bench to state his case for his spot should Nelson's goals dry up.
