Last season he was even better. 13 goals from 30 odd chances. I know he is brilliant at link play, but I wish he was allowed to get into the box more.

gurujuan Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Again I agree with you about the recruitment Our recruitment has all the hallmarks of someone who last watched a championship game about five years ago. It was pretty naive, in my opinion, of whoever does the recruiting, to think, ah Jordan Rhodes used to score goals for Huddersfield and Blackburn, maybe he can do the same for us. I've watched Jordan Rhodes many a time, and the guy is good at what he does, however, I've also watched most games we've played this season, and it was clear to me that he wouldn't suit our style of play. I said so at the time, and I'd have bet my house Jordan Rhodes wouldn't be prolific in this set up. In another system, yes maybe, but although we may all long for a different way of playing, the reality is, this is us. Our recruitment was such a flip up last season that, were it up to me, whoever was responsible, would have been following the medical staff out of the building.

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. It takes if you didn't panic when Dave Allen totally schooled you. And you didn't panic and apologised like the tart you are. You make me feel sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
