wakefieldowl Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 After all speculation, fantasising and mega threads on OT about JR, wasn't it just b!oody brilliant to see his two goals today. I still had to pinch myself seeing his name in our team Both his goals were typical JR. Here's to loads more jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Give him a strike partner every game and he will score plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We haven't got anyone else at the club that would have scored his first....the other goals have in many ways over shadowed how good a finish that was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To generate the power on that from the position he was. Great goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owly Mowly Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Fantastic header moving away from goal and placed it within an inch of the post. Second one he was never gonna miss - get service like that to him and he'll score every game. Made a good block on the edge of our box just before ht as well. 3 goals in 6 games - that 1 in 2 record continues.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash60s Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I like the pairing of JR & SW, not saying its "the one" cos JR hasn't featured enough with other strikers They don't play the same but ethics remind me of Hirsty & Willow, a scorer and a grafter, ideal partnership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The advantage of Rhodes and Winnall over FF and someone else up front (And I'm including certain strikers we still have at the club with this) is that you can whip a ball into the box and their movement and agility allows them to find space between defenders to get the ball. FF may have a great leap and good movement, but it's difficult to ping a ball into the box and hope he gets a clean header on it. Equally, other, taller strikers who can dominate in the air lack a lot of the mobility required to find gaps... so if the ball isn't planted straight on their head or within half a yard of them, they're never going to get to the ball. With Rhodes and Winnall, we get a bit of both, and our players can be less accurate and just worry about sticking the ball "in the danger area" and there's still a reasonable chance a striker will make contact with the ball. Their movement compliments each other really well, it's making it difficult for them to be marked out... reckon this is why we're scoring more crosses... players are more comfortable swinging it in knowing we've got both ability and movement in the air in the box now. Keep playing like that, we'll score a lot more goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which sort of dismisses the oft-spouted theory from his detractors that he's just a goalscorer. I've genuinely been massively impressed with his work rate, A proper team player as well as a brilliant finisher. We are very lucky to have a chairman who has once again dug deep into his pockets to land such a talisman. Fantastic signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 He's got his dad to look after him too. I've noticed everytime Jordan gets fouled, his dad is very quick off the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carloss Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Great cross by Bannan for his seconds goal. As soon as he crossed it (on the highlights) you could hear the crowd go "awwww yeahhhhhhhh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
