As I have said many times in the past the most naturally talented and gifted player ever to wear the shirt, IMHO.
Yesterday he scored two superb goals and created both of Calvins goals. The first was a forty? yard pass right onto Calvins chest, he took it brilliantly, turned and scored a cracker. The secons was a cross from the corner right onto Calvins foot. He had so much time and space he even had time to scissor-kick it in.
And he played the full 90 minutes again. Three highlight goals so far this season. Enjoy watching him until the end of January!

I've never been a fan. So much talent. Such a lazy, sulky player.
But this season? Blimey - what's Rowett said to him? Keep it up, Jacques. You were class yesterday and let's see a bit more of it - same against York, please.
A joy to watch. Yeah, if he keeps that up, they'll come sniffing.

I agree with you Peacockbrewer - from the first time I saw Jaques ( on trial against Derby in a friendly) I just thought WOW what a footballer.

According to his interview on Radio Derby yesterday GR said he'd sat Mags down in the summer and told him what he wanted him to do - which basically was about becoming a team player - less of the do it all yourself guy, I suppose - it's not all about you, it's about the team Mags - which means more work, more defending, more playing with others, keeping the ball - do that says GR and the rest will look after itself - and it has, it seems

I have an interview with Jacques coming up, probably in the Telegraph on Wednesday. In short, the man himself puts it down to maturity, now that he's into his fourth season playing senior football... but there's no doubt at all that Gary has had an influence on him.

Made me laugh when I saw the match report in the Football League Paper for yesterday's match. There was a bit in there where it said Calvin Zola and Jacques Maghoma communicate with each other in French to confuse the opposing players. And it apparantly gets on their team mates' nerves when they do that in training too ;D. Good little tactic that one .

Oui, je suis tout à fait d'accord Adam. Il serait utile cependant si il y a une ronde toutes la prononciation de son nom en tant que j'ai entendu tellement de versions différentes d'elle!
and...please learn by Wednesday..

I can see how this French can trick defenders now ;D. Google Translator is a wonderful thing though, came up with this below
Yes, I totally agree Adam. However, it would be useful if there is a round all the pronunciation of his name as I have heard so many different versions of it!
I do agree with that as well, the bloke on the Football League Show was calling him "Ma Homer" wasn't he?

It has always amazed me how little attention and respect Mags gets. Some of the comments and shouts from some of the "fans" are bewildering. And someone on here had him subbed in the game on Sat., no he wasn't. And the Burton Mail reported yesterday that the great pass for Calvins first goal was from McCrory. No it wasn't., it was from Jacques.

Jacques can probably beat anyone in this league and possibly the next league up when he's got the ball at his feet. His problem has always been that he wants to beat him and the next bloke, the one after that and the one after that.
If you look at every contribution he made on Saturday, it was through him being decisive and not fannying about. Zola's awesome goal was from a brilliant ball from Jacques. His first goal was a one-two with Zola and he hit it first time. The free kick was clinical and the cross for Zola's second was sublime. On his left foot and posted between two defenders. He didn't even have to dribble for that one!
He's definitely our most skillful player. Gary seems to be motivating him well in terms of effort but if he can get his football brain working as well then he'll be virtually unplayable.

Got to agree with most that has been said about Mags. He is without doubt the most skilful player at the club. He does strike me as a 'sulky' player though who 'sat down with Rowett in the summer = kick up the backside' which seems to have worked. If he continues to play in the manner he did on Saturday he will be untouchable in this League.

Have always liked Jacques, but he did overdo his time on the ball, rather than the quick decisive pass, and also seemed to disappear at times. This season though he has looked like the player we all knew he could be. He has worked hard, passed the ball more quickly, and been well prepared to shoot on site of goal, and on target. As others say at this level he looks fantastic. As the season progresses he will become even more of a marked man, so it is important that the others who become less marked cause plenty for the opposition to worry about. The signs look good, we already have about 11 different scorers this season in league and cup.

Jacques has been brilliant this season. He's been on fire recently, a real threat to the opposition.

To the tune of Frere Jacques - it's quite easy (if someone can finish it off) Calvin Zola, Calvin Zola Mag-ho- ma, Mag-ho-ma.

As the season progresses he will become even more of a marked man agreed, but I've been watching him since he's been here and virtually every time he gets the ball there is at least two players on him. the opposing scouts know where the danger lies. as for the change in his play this year, I think it may be that this year he has a couple of players who are closer to his level who can break down the opposing attack and can play more at his pace.

Yes they are giving Mags special attention, but that leaves others less marked to cause trouble, and Jacques is still troubling them in any case.
