Rhodes needs the ball knocking down and holding up for him. Not the other way round. Exactly. Maybe Fletcher and Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ff is a very creative player and for me is wasted up front. Far better on the left with the ball at his feet heading towards goal to create chances. Cracking strike from the left hand side tonight.

mr moody Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 11 minutes ago, WayneTheOwl said: The problem you get with FF up front is it isolates the remaining striker (whoever it is, not just Rhodes). FF cannot be a striker as he loves to be involved in the game too much, loves running out wide (as per the goal tonight and many others). FF needs a free roll and being out wide gives him that (although the issue is tracking back defensively). Strikers need an understanding together and having FF as one of them is far too unpredictable for the other. This 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlofOliveGrove Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Gotta start two target men up top imo. Whether FF plays just behind or on the left is immaterial...for Rhodes to be his most effective he needs Winnall/Hooper/Fletch alongside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Jordan Rhodes has done fine for us. He hasn't had many chances and has often been isolated up front. He's not the type of player to skin a few and rifle it into the top corner. He's a box player/poacher and needs delivery to thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt for Rhodes tonight but there was a point where FF burst into the box and pulled the ball back only for Winnall and Rhodes to not be in the area. wtf. It was a great ball in from FF, unfortunately both Winnall & Rhodes had been involved in the build up to that move, it was the likes of Wallace stood on the edge of the area & not taking a gamble on a decent ball coming in.

s6 owl Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 We don't play to Hoopers strengths so It's not a surprise to me that Rhodes is suffering the same fate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guttted Because the fans helped heap pressure on the team and they become even more nervy and indecisive/scrappy when chasing the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 If we don't play with positivity and create chances for him, then JR isn't going to score. What's his record for us now? 1 in 4 ? That's not a reflection on the lad, that's a reflection on our style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
