Jordan Rhodes - WINNER

[@owlstalk]

 

[steelowl]

lot of pressure on this lad past record/ expectancy / fee / dad

 

we just need to let him have a decent run get a couple in off the goalie whatever get his confidence back up 

[Kopparberg]

I told you he’d score!* 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*I didn’t say in what game

 

Well done Jordan. 

[WalthamOwl]

He looks so happy. Brilliant stuff. 

[gravydownshirt]

But will Carlos start him Saturday?

[j17tjp]

Gutted for him, when his bullet header cannoned off the post 

 

would’ve given him a huge boost to come away with a brace

and his overhead wasn't far away too!

 

But obviously he doesn't care according to some. His reaction and the massive smile on his face says otherwise. He will only come good if we play him for large periods and actual give him something to feed off which we did last night and should have had hattrick!

[cookeh]

Will do him the world of good to hit the back of the net.

Really hope he gets a run of starts now. He's a goal scorer and we need goals to claw back the 11 points we are behind Cardiff.

[owlZfan84]

Like others have said, he should get a run of games now.

 

That's down to Carlos though.

 

And I'm really not sure it'll happen.

[fred mciver]

There can be no doubt about JR'S scoring abilities after being consisitent for so long.

 

Millwall's manager also paid him high tribute saying he gives you problems all game.

 

So, clearly an intelligent striker too and above aspect of his game is rarely considered.

 

Let's hope he now goes on a fruitful run.

 

1-3 against Villa, JR brace and Hoops.

Looks like he may have got his confidence back, was unlucky not to have 2 or 3 looking at the highlights... lets hope he gets the chance to keep it up....

 

Carlos is gunna drop him for big Dave  , aint he ?, just know it....

Lets hope CC keeps him in for a long run, but I think he will change things again on Saturday

[Owly Mowly]

He’ll give him a run in the side now surely 

[Mr. Tom]

What a boy. Get in JR. All the best from here.

[Emilianenko]

Pleased for him, now give him a run of games please.

[debram]

its all about quality balls into the box and he will score, think CC may have caught on now.

I think he's possibly guilty of caring too much and over thinking stuff maybe. 

[swfc4_sufc0]

If he'd been match fit/sharp last night, Rhodes would have scored at least a hat trick and possibly 4, which we know that he's definitely capable of doing.

He should have buried it - it was another easy chance he missed.

Every striker misses chances, including easy ones. What looks like an easy chance to the fans might not be to the striker, particularly in and around the 6 yard box. It only needs to be slightly behind, too far in front, too quick, defender giving a nudge.

 

If JR sticks another 19 in this season I don't care how many he misses.
