matthefish2002 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Would not criticise Jordon Rhodes at all. We have just spent £10m on him (or whatever it was) and don't give him the ball. Give him decent service and he knows where the net is simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkleyWeds Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 No idea what game they were watching. Rhodes has made a pain in the backside of himself for defenders since arriving and he looks like someone enjoying his football. Wallace could stand to get back into position a little quicker, but I'm hard pressed to see how that relates to his hand size too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazowl55 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Think we will see Forestieri back up front with Rhodes against Forest. Forest will leave alot of space at the back perfect for them to exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 2 blokes sat behind me who for at least 50 minutes continued to slag the player from being not fit, can't run, no speed, can't head a ball, he's too light weight to be any good and finally what a waste of money! I really had to restrain myself from turning round and having a real go at them. My only excuse could have been they were United fans. People expect 100% effort and performance all the time just as they manage to achieve each and every day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 So as there are no other accounts of people slagging Rhodes off, we're talking about 2 people out of 24k. Which means that 99.992% of fans weren't slagging off Rhodes, yet we have a thread about it which will no doubt become part of blades folklore in years to come, "Wendy fans all slagged off Rhodes when he first came".

Holmowl Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Was it Hooper and Nuhiu? Only kidding. Rhodes, like Hooper, will come in for stick from time to time. Over a season he will score 20 or so, but he will have longish spells where he doesn't score, and as his game is not high energy some will find him an easy target to criticise. One thing is crystal clear, that we have to give him WAY better service than he has had in 3 matches so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 There is a guy near us in the North, who slags Hooper off every time he plays and he gets his children to do the same .... They shout run Hooper when the ball for instance is 50 yards away and he aint got a cat in hell's chance, call him useless and fat (ironic cos the dad and family are a tad lardy) They also shout hit it!! usually we are miles from the goal. I have just come to the conclusion the dad has special needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greengrass Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Man City used to sing "feed the goat and he will score " referring to Shaun Goater, Rhodes has hardly played for Boro, already scored for us, we are hardly peppering him with opportunities to add to his tally. Give him some decent service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 There are some who wouldnt be happy unless he scored six every game . We have a few on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
