A_A wehatethehibs Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 We need him to find form as on his day he’s one of our best, a great athlete who was dominating midfields. Been a long time since then. Maybe the injury was a blessing in disguise for him, long rest and eased back in recovery. Be great to see him have a good game this weekend we need you big man, give it 110% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Deserves a chance under the new manager just like every other player. Would be like a new player if he recaptured his pre-Cathro form. Getting a bit sick of waiting for players to find form though, wish they would just man up and do their jobs.

I think his standards might be a bit less than the fans would like to see regarding performances. I'm guessing he meant "excellent" relative to everyone else on the park (with the honourable exception of Jambie Brandon). TBH, I think if we can get three or four good home games under our belt, with Levein consistently fielding our strongest possible team - a core of Berra, Hughes, Djoum, Cowie, Walker, Lafferty and Isma - then we'll all be feeling a lot more positive come Christmas. In which case: bring on the Hibees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Police Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Yeah when he isn’t great, you could tell that we had a better hold on midfield last week. He has a lot more composure than most in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 He made a difference last week, first time in a few weeks we've had an element of control in the game. First game back in a while, he'll get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gowestjambo Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 The only player we have with any degree of skill in the midfield. Getting him back to his best would help enormously.

To be fair, Djoum himself outlines the reasons for his poor form since February in the article. I don't think management can help that much when the player himself is knackered. Anyway, although he wasn't fantastic on Sunday, he made a big difference and it really highlighted how weak we've been in midfield recently especially in the games against Hibs and Sevco. Hopefully he'll kick on from here and we can start creating and taking chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Lynam Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Never known a player to talk up his game whilst delivering nothing. We should sell him to Madrid in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Only the blind or just born dumb could argue against Djoum having had a good game last week. He was by miles the best player on the park. He wasn't even at his best. Our trouble is that we do not have another player near his quality. It's blindingly obvious that his value can only be maximised by having good players beside him. But he is still more than capable of bringing others into the game, which he does.

RS86 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hoping as his match fitness builds he can get back to his best for us, on his game he is a huge player for us. He is the midfielder most capable of creating and scoring goals for us at the moment. Confident Levein will get the best out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenbo Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 We will see a few good/awesomegames out of him then in January.... oh wait back to square one! Get rid!!!

Chaps Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 When he first signed he was played further forward and that’s when we seen the best of him. Since being played deeper which is baffling he has been shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since being played deeper which is baffling he has been shite. Largely agree with this. Played as a number 10, he is our best player by some distance. He is wasted when played in a deep midfield role. And normally pretty ineffective. Overall a a very good player for us, who gets a lot of undue criticism. That said, he has been very disappointing for most of this calendar year...although that is true of pretty much everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Personally can't wait for him to leave. He seems too preoccupied trying to play for Cameroon in friendlies than playing for his employer. I think his attitude is indicative of everything thats been wrong with the club since Levein took over and hopefully once he eventually ****s off we can bring in players with more heart and desire. I don't think he's taken to the club in the same way Ozturk, Kitchen, Skacel or any of the other countless foreign players have. I think it's that 'stepping stone' mentality and he's ended up stuck here because he's not as good as he thinks he is. I think him getting international caps was the beginning of the end of him as a player. His hunger was to achieve that, now he has and its gone. Punt him at the first opportunity pls.

Thommo414 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Best player over the last 2 games by far. Hoping he turns in a performance one of these days that just exhibits the skill and swagger of a player who has won an international accolade, putting whoever is unlucky enough to come up against it to the sword.He'll probably still get booed mind, but even just one absolutely class performance I think could turn his form and the fans relationship with him around for the better.
