Derby County fans react on Twitter to Cameron Jerome's Sunderland display

Jerome moved to Derby County from Norwich City in January.

Cameron Jerome of Derby County fouls Shaun Hutchinson of Millwall during the Sky Bet Championship match between Millwall and Derby County at The Den on January 30, 2018 in London, England.

Derby County fans are already writing off Cameron Jerome, 11 games in to the former Norwich City striker’s Rams career.

Jerome made his fifth start for Derby on Friday, in a 4-1 home defeat at the hands of second bottom Sunderland.

The veteran striker scored 16 goals for Norwich last season, but has only managed one apiece for the Canaries and Derby this time around.

Cameron Jerome of Norwich looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Sheffield United and Norwich City at Bramall Lane on September 16, 2017 in Sheffield, England.

And after a run of one win in 11 since Jerome’s January arrival, supporter patience is wearing thin.

Here’s what Derby fans are saying on Twitter…

Rowett must hate palmer on a personal level! Why isn’t he in the team? I’d start him up front on his own if it meant he would fit in the side, can’t do any worse than Jerome #dcfc

How 2 managers can make hounding Martin out one of their main priorities and we end up with a Cam Jerome who can’t outpace John O’Shea astounds me #dcfc

Also, Jerome is incredible- I’ve never seen anyone work their way OUT of a goalscoring opportunity as often as him. #dcfc

Buying jerome and other aging players has caught up. We have no width, pace or creativity

As for Cameron Jerome…didn’t realise we signed Connor Sammon back. Waste of money. Another player that ‘works hard’ who has no end product #dcfcfans #dcfc

Jerome is woeful. Not sure how he’s starting games over Nugent. Even a poor Nugent is ten times better than Jerome

Chris Martin wasnt ripping up any trees earlier in the season but surely there is not one supporter who would rather have Jerome in the team than Martin! #dcfc #dcfcfans

Cameron Jerome is the worst Centre Forward (If we can call him that) Since Conor Sammon. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Goals from George Honeyman and Ashley Fletcher gave Sunderland a two-goal head start at Pride Park, before Matej Vydra halved the deficit.

Things did not get better from there however, as Aiden McGeady and John O’Shea added to the visitors’ scoring.

Derby remain fifth in the table, albeit only two points above 10th-placed Preston North End.

Have Norwich sold Derby a dud?
