Sky showed some stats before the game of JR goalscoring facts with and without a partner. He scored loads more goals as part of a proper front 2. Can somebody publish them for all to see. 

The Birmingham game with Winnall and Rhodes up front produced our best score of the season. It looked good at it worked. As long as their morale has not been ruined by whats happened since then they should start every game and be given the full 90 minutes unless injured.

 

I agree with this and i think they would both run the channels like Hirst & Williams use to do.

 

I don't think we need 'wingers', rather wing backs who can cross. hunt's cross for Winnall was an example of this.

Because he is our best chance of scoring .  

 

I disagree, Forestieri is our best chance of scoring, and he's also our best chance of making something happen. He didn't have one of his better games today, but Forestieri is always trying to get on the front foot

Even David hirst might have struggled to score 15-20 in this side, our 'wingers' like wallace n reach aren't proper wingers who cross it often or well and our full backs dont either.

 

We dont create many easy chances so only fessi looks likely to get double figures by often creating his own chances.

 

Jordan rhodes is not a pacy off the shoulder skilful striker so needs it put in the danger area, with cc's tactics we're his worst nightmare and it was said as much before he signed.

 

Start at least 1 proper winger in macca on his favoured right side and it may help somewhat, but the left side supply needs improvement too

Why the flip should he change things just for Jordan Rhodes? 

 

Are you for real?

 

We've brought in one of the best strikers to ever play in the championship, and for the most part, he's been feeding of off scraps, due to an inept midfield. 

 

What was the point in signing him?

At one point Fernando had ran back and forth about 3 times chasing the ball whilsy Rhodes minced about.

I know Blackburn Fans I'm pretty sure Rhodes scored hardly any in his last 15-20 for them either.

You asked why we should change things just for Rhodes.

 

 

The answer is obvious:

 

On his day, he's one of the best, if not THE best striker in the Chamiponship.

 

 

If Carlos doesn't change things, you can forget about promotion.

The points is we needed a prolific goal scorer.

 

I agree with you, and yes Rhodes has that pedigree, but we needed to bring one in who would thrive in the system we played. In January, when we were chasing him, I had my doubts as to how well he'd do here. Nothing I've seen so far, has made me change my mind
