swfc-dan Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 What are peoples thoughts on him so far. I've personally been a bit disappointed for what we were expecting, didn't expect a goal a game but just the 3 goals so far. He doesn't seem to quite have his Blackburn/Huddersfield sharpness yet, looks a good threat in the air but I've been disappointed in him with shots on the ground and seems to have lost a little of his pace. We know he won't contribute loads in open play so it's about goals for Jordan. Hopefully it's taking him time to build an understanding with teammates, I do feel he could go on a scoring run once he really gets going. Do we think he'll be worth the cost for next season?

Doghouse Daz Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'll reserve judgement till he plays with FF on the left , Matias on the right , and Hooper up front with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronfield Blue Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 He's excellent. The service to him is p1$$ poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marconi Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Very pleased with him. Always a threat in the air, something we haven't had for a long time. Covers ground well and works hard for the team. Wins most flick on's and a very intelligent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuthaMucker Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 The Norwich match showed if we give him good service he will score. 3 of our goals in that match were headers. I can't say I'm disappointed with him so far because he's not getting very good service as things stand. Although, I wanted to slap him after that Miss against Burton.

RUMBELOWS91 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Better in the air than I thought. Knows how to win a free kick. Not it missed that many in the games I've seen. Make chances and he'll convert a higher percentage than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Great movement, good in the air and links play well. We've seen if we provide quality to him he'll score. Although he probably should have scored against Reading and arguably Burton too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 When we set up correctly and go to win matches it will be easier to judge him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Can't keep blaming the service all the time. It could be better, but he has missed/failed to convert chances all the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britpunk77 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Think he has done OK so far, he is good in the air and has proved he can take chances already. The trouble is we haven't created enough chances for our strikers all season. Noticed on Friday night his running action is ungainly and like you said he does seem one-paced. Think he he is the best striker at the club, if he gets chances I think he will convert a high ratio of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 With a full pre season I'd hope we'd configure our style of play and get the midfielders playing to the strengths of the strikers we have. That might involve new midfielders or whatever. Anyway I reckon we'll really see the benefit of him next season. Imagine starting the season with Nuhiu and Chris Maguire as your options!

wilfsmith Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Had a great chance to score against Leeds. Unfortunately he missed the penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be no time soon then bud, Im beginning to think matias is made out of loo roll and stuck together with prit-sticks. may be a bit harsh, but I'm coming to the conclusion he's the love child of Darren Anderton and Scott Oakes If you remember him.

Guest RocketOwl Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Do we all agree Fletcher has been poor this season on the whole? Can someone please explain how Rhodes is doing any better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 My expectations weren't that high to start with, mainly because of how we play. He's ended up being our target man, which is a bit of a waste. If that's what we wanted, we could have got a lot better, and probably a lot cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Shocking service and tactics since he joined. If ever there was a striker with an unquestionable scoring record in the Championship, it's Jordan. He joined us keen, and ready to fire us to a comfortable play off spot. Carlos should be embarrassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes hasn't played all season before he came to us and had scored 3 in 9. I know two came in the same match but that's still a ratio of 1 in 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
