Guest RocketOwl Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 He's not as good as people make out and I can see why Boro wanted to offload him. No better than Hooper but glad we have him as Hooper is obviously injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't make it unfortunately. I always support the lads at games, even Sasso. Just because I share a view on here doesn't mean I go into games berating these players. Once they go over the line I am behind them. This is what forums are for sharing opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"weak" Have you got any other players you want to slate today? You've already decided that Rhodes and Sasso aren't good enough. Perhaps you can start a thread about Bannan or Hunt etc., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good player, just no where near as good as some would have you believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RocketOwl Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Just now, S_W_F_C said: We have created two chances for him and he buried one. He should have scored yesterday you may argue but bar that he has been fed in scraps Which I agree with. i just prefer strikers that can create something for themselves. Hopefully JR will bang a few in on Tuesday now Abdi looks to be back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Lukaku will want to move to the Champ tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's scored a ridulous amount of goals throughout his career (certainly since his 18th birthday) and probably only just reaching his prime as a striker. Including better than a goal in every 2 matches for a struggling Championship club (a striker coming up from L1, don't forget). Some reyt fannies in our fanbase.

bigthinrob Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Oh God, now i'm depressed. I did a post yesterday where i said FFs goal & celebrations could be a defining moment for us and signal a change in all the negativity surrounding the club. I woke up this morning with a spring in my step, looking forward to Tuesday and the forthcoming soiree to that council dump in Leeds where we could go above them. I log onto Owlstalk to relish all the new found positivity and gloat over the fact that our current form is 2nd in the entire league and that all our players are coming good at the right time and what do i find? Sasso it turns out is a complete donkey, Rhodes is, in the opinion of the self same Negativo, nothing special, weak and what ever else it was, Slow was it? (can't be ars*d to re read it to be honest). And then apparently, Wednesday have under achieved under CC and it is the vast amounts of money!!!! not any nous on CCs part that is responsible for our very limited success compared to Leeds, Reading & Huddersfield. Oh yes, and CC is still on probation / trial and will undoubtedly be shown the door if we achieve anything less than promotion. It is said the only definite's in life are 'Death & Taxes'. The only other definite in life i can add, is that Owlstalk will always have more than its fair share of glass half empty, grass is always greener, negative tw**s. Oh Yes, and that anyone who doesn't share this depressing negative vision of things is a 'clapper'. Need a beer!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Offensively need to play more to his strengths. Clever player. Maybe more suited to a fletcher next to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 5 hours ago, Ali G said: So now he's got 3 games under his belt, what's your views on him so far? For me you can just tell he's got that intelligent football brain most players at this level haven't. Even when not getting a much of a sniff he's still trying, making those intelligent runs. Think we've got a right headache now though after FF performance. If FF does start up top, you've got to play Rhodes with him, what happens to Winnall, Hooper and Fletcher! Dont forget Rhodes had hardly played this season before signing for us, so is bound to be a little off the pace, but he has played four games ,and we have won all four. One of the things i like about him is his clever runs off the ball, usually taking two defenders with him to create space for others . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RocketOwl Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 1 in 4 for Jordan so far. Boro record also similar. To those who look at his performances and recent statistics as opposed to his Blackburn and Huddersfield days, it is clear he may not be as prolific anymore.

Almat Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) 'It is clear he may not be as prolific'. This statement makes no real sense. A bit like saying Definitely Maybe. Great album, (intentionally?) nonsense title. He's played 4 games FFS and obviously won't be 100% match fit/sharp. Bleeding 'ell...how long before the 'Rhodes is a waste of money' thread? Shakes head. Edited February 19, 2017 by Almat added text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
