Danny 0 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Ok, much has been said on here and elsewhere about Jelavic's performances this season. It's true that he's not quite hitting the heights he did at times last year, and for me it's boiling down to one thing. He seems to have lost his cutting edge. He's needing many more chances to score goals than he used to - he isn't as clinical as he once was. He is so good at getting in the right positions, particular for headers, but how often do we see the resulting shot fly over the bar? In short, he's missing more than he used to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,529 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hmmm, I'm not so sure. I think Jelavic often prefers to blast the ball which accounts for him missing the target more often than we'd like. Generally I think he's playing well enough and only struggles when we don't support him effectively. Like any striker he'll miss his fair share of chances but I'd be more worried if he was getting (and was the case last night) and making these chances. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It could be due to many things. He's maybe not as intergrated into Scottish life as he would have expected by now, but there is a dip in form. But where there's a dip, there can be a return to form. I'm just waiting on the return. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 WHEN he returns to form.... and so long as Lafferty, Naismith & Davis maintain their form.... there will be no stopping us. IMO of course. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,599 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 WHEN he returns to form.... and so long as Lafferty, Naismith & Davis maintain their form.... and aren't sold there will be no stopping us. IMO of course. Fixed that for you. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dutchy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 As I've said before, I think Naismith is happy with us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Maybe he's dropped down to the standard of the league he's playing in he knows he doesn't have to be at his peak to get chances and will still score enough goals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
