We would all work hard if given the chance but it wouldn't mask our inability to fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the pecking order of options he probably sits next to big Dave. Was clearly a panic buy given striker issues at the time and also probably shows the Rhodes deal didn't look likely until near the deadline. Yeah. Barnsleys top scorer with 11 goals at the time was 'a panic buy'. For 600k he was an absolute steal and unbelievable bit of business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) We have three better strikers in Hooper, Rhodes and Fletcher, so with six matches left he is not going to start this season unless we hit a big injury problem. No sense in having 3 strikers on the bench. Nuhiu offers the Plan B or C, but Winnall doesn't offer a significant alternative. We also have the luxury of FF who can switch from left to striker. Friend of mine is a Barnsley ST holder. Said when we bought Winnall that if we gave him the frequency and quality of service he got from Hourihane he would score plenty.... we all know the rest!

joelswfc Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I sometimes feel sorry for him because of his lack of football and the players ahead of him, but then I remember that this move probably gives him a financially secure future after he retires.

Guest Grez Bez Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Winnall gives us a good option but is not first choice. Compared to the others he isn't as gifter as a footballer but will give his all; if we need a terrier to peg it around for 45 mins then he's your man. He's like a better Luke Varney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RocketOwl Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Between Rhodes and Winnall there is nothing in it from their performances. Rhodes getting nod on price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signs for us, takes a bit of stick his old mates, we then sign a striker for 20 x his price and Fletcher starts scoring. Not to mention us returning to the big lad for the last 15 minutes of games. He likely knew the score. It's the price to pay to get to the premier league for all parties. Hes had a few games whilst others sat out and vice versa. It becomes more common the higher you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handworth52 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 was a joke that winnall was not included at wkd , yes nuhiu did a job against Cardiff ,but against qpr he didn't win anything if fact he was embarrassing bad as usual we ended up going backwards instead of finishing them off on break and a player like winnall would be a much better option, you cant sign a player give him 18k a week scores against Barnsley then cast him off.

Nah. Rhodes' quality is obvious. Winnall's isn't (yet?). But in terms of goals, neither has cracked it here yet, so you have to chose between the two you and would always chose the one who has scored at this level for 7 years, not one who had done it for half a season.

Owl999 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Precisely the same thing with Morgan Fox, think he's been great at left back and saved us clearing off the line numerous games including Barnsley, he was on press duty for the build up to the Rotherham game and wasn't even been on the bench for the game or since, pretty sure I've not heard about him being injured either .

Owlinator Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Rhodes Is by far the better player his all round game is class. The only thing needed is more goals which we know will come. Has been very unlucky with blocked shots and good saved attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Wouldn't be in the least surprised if Winnall and Fox both played on Saturday. That's how CC rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
