Guest Theboylangers Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 One of the least effective substitutions ever. Now don't get me wrong, 18 months ago I would have snatched your hand off to think we could sign him but he has regressed to the point of being almost embarrassing. Have we destroyed previously one of the best strikers in this division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTheOwl Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 When he comes on I have zero hope of him doing the business. Completrly ineffective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Of all the gigantic, colossal clvsterfvcks of defending, abysmal passing and tactical errors, I'm not sure Jordan Rhodes deserves singling out for anything other than being thrown on to chase a lost cause. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Owl Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Rhodes coming on as sub is possibly the last thing you could blame on today, he was only on the pitch for about 20mins...I think it had more to do with those on the pitch for 90mins... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey mate, I’m not singling him out. There were way more shocking performances and Rhodes had little to do with the defeat. But it is a genuine question. I nearly put has Carlos ruined him but didn’t want to add fuel to the flame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford_owl Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Player is great every where then comes to wednesday and is crap. Why? We need a system and setup that suits the player. Not forcing one down their neck. Sorry this is the managers fault. No passion and no pace. To slow in the buildup as we don't have Ronaldinho or messi. It's very difficult to score in a slow build up if you don't have world class players. He has had time and to be honest he hasent learned anything about english football.

trask43 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Its a telling sign of how poor hes been for us that it honestly disappointed me to see him coming on instead of nuhiu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlsbornanbred Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 This has been covered a hundred times but if we need to go over it again - many said when we signed him that he will fail because we don't play the game that works to his strengths. He is an out and out poacher who needs quality early crosses. We don't do this and are now seeing what many predicted. I don't blame Rhodes. He isn't even missing chances and it takes us an eternity to break from defence to attack. We should have kept Winnall and spent the £10m (or whatever) on a fast tricky winger and a full back, imo.

Have we destroyed previously one of the best strikers in this division? He was completely ineffective when we brought him in in the first place - why do you think they let him go? I don't know whether he picked up a knock or mentally it's just not there, but what kind of striker declines to take a penalty? That spoke volumes to me.

I think that would be a fairer question! there aren't too many players that Carlos has signed that have enhanced their reputations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether we're not playing to his strengths or what, but all I know is that taking Fletcher off for Rhodes has left us looking a worse team every time we've made that substitution.

Saxondale Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Reach defending like a 12yo Hunt getting mugged off by a 12yo Van Aken playing like a carthorse Lees Getting bullied by Leon flipping Clarke. Westwood being very average for every goal Jones being non existent first half But let’s throw the book at Jordan Rhodes for a 15 minute cameo. Unbelievable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
