Guest RocketOwl Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 "We don't play to Rhodes strengths and get crosses into the box". Take a look at Steven Fletcher goals in the last 10 games - majority from crosses. From memory - Huddersfield playoffs (Header from cross), Derby Home (Header from Cross) Newcastle at home (Fletcher and Lees from crosses).Hooper against Derby also from a cross. Any responses to how Fletcher seems to be scoring from crosses into the box? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopers been involved with us for a while, if I recall he struggled when he first come for fitness! I am sure Rhodes will benefit from a preseason with us!

Holmowl Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 We need two strikers in and around the box. Hooper and Fletcher was really effective, both in terms of goals and points. Rhodes contribution to our goal-scoring is well established. Any two from Rhodes, Fletch and Hooper playing 90% of next season and we will be very serious contenders for an auto spot.

Fletch is a real handful in the air and scored some great headers. This isn't a reflection on JR though, who was pulling defenders with him and getting in shots that others were picking up rebounds from. I thought Winnal did ok when he played. He's no JR but he took his goals well (especially v brum) and will play his part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 It's absolute rounduns that we don't cross the ball enough. The issues are, 1. too often the delivery is poor and 2. too often the finish is poor. People make way too many excuses for certain strikers. We create more than enough. Go back and watch us under Stuart Gray if you want to see poor service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew he wasn't a world beater from the times I've watched him, but I thought he was quick footed, a bit of a live wire in and around the box. I'm pinning all my hopes on a niggling injury that's been hampering him, as to explain for his total lack of anything resembling athleticism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I had seen him play quite a bit at Blackburn, so knew he had limitations but always seemed to be able to have the knack of scoring despite not doing much else. Unfortunately for us he is not scoring and still not doing much else. Our fans are clinging to the hope we have not signed a dud, by clinging to stats that he is on the pitch when we score, which is fairly cringeworthy. For me he has looked worryingly slow and lightweight and the penalty incident has not helped me warm to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want your best attacking outlet worried about tracking back and keeping shape I guess you have a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
