Our scoring record with Hooper & FF is horrific. Our scoring record with Fletch & FF is horrific. If Carlos persists with more of the same next year it will be Groundhog Day.

BigBlueDan Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I'd say Fletcher found some form at the back end DESPITE poor service not because of good service. All 5 strikers (if you're including forestieri) have underperformed in terms of goals for good chunks of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have made your point numerous times Rocket why not just give it a rest. You might get egg on your face next season. I am just interested to know why Rhodes will all of a sudden become a world beater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He averages a goal every 173 minutes of Championship football that he's played. It seems fair enough to expect that he'll do alright for us given a full pre-season and the right service. In your recent thread espousing the merits of Lucas João, you asked for the goal stats for Rhodes' last 80 Championship games - when the stats didn't suit your argument, you limited it to his last 40 Championship games; when the stats still didn't suit your argument, you stopped replying! What's the point in starting what essentially amounts to the same debate again when you didn't even have the decency to respond to people trying to answer your questions the first time around?

It doesn't matter, because he ran over RocketOwl's cat or something, clearly. There's no other logical explanation for this ongoing vendetta against one of our players.

If you want your best attacking outlet worried about tracking back and keeping shape I guess you have a point. So what you stated was fact?..

Mr Farrell Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 To criticise Jordan, and not understand the impact of our tactical approach last season, on all the attacking players at the club is a tad ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Couldn't agree more! This season for one reason or another no one up top covered themselves in glory. Especially early in the season when we were creating obscene amounts of chances and losing games against the run of play. I kept saying ting over and over when it clicks we'll give someone a sound hiding, but it never really did. I certainly think we have the tools / players to get the job done, and really hopeful that the forwards we have can fire us up next season.

S36 OWL Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 6 hours ago, RocketOwl said: "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...
gurujuan Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Can't believe we spend so much time talking about him, a squad player at best, albeit an expensive one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvin Parsnip Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Seem to remember when he got a decent ball in like against Birmingham and Norwich he buried his headers in the back of the net - can't remember him missing many chances because he never got any just balls in hope that he had to chase - I thought he worked hard in every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
