Weshallovercome Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Basically he's saying Rhodes is an old fashioned forward, he's right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 New player signs for a club and needs to adapt to their style. He is a bit old fashioned and needs to change a bit. He is and 2 goals in 2 games is a good start. looking forward to watching him tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleblue Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Being benched is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I think he means he has learned to adapt and the last couple of games has shown it. I believe he will start tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of positives also said. He will be starting, absolutely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0rtherner Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Championship has changed alot these past seasons and Rhodes who has tore it apart here back a few seasons needs to adapt now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just me that thinks the championship isn't changing then? Teams who get promoted are tight at the back, attack teams and score goals. The top 2 in the table are doing it now. Brighton did it, Newcastle did and even Huddersfield did. Play to Jordans strengths and he will get you at least 20 goals a season. Cannot get much easier, unless he means head coaches are trying to over complicate the game and play chess? So we need to slow it down and think. Id rather we do what the top two do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The proof of the pudding will be if the new style JR gets 20 goals this season playing the Carlos way. If he does then all is good, if he doesn't then CC will have hammered a square peg into a round hole and ruined one of the best goal scorers this division has seen. When will the club learn to buy players already capable of playing the system we want to play. It's pointless buying someone who can do one thing and hoping he can retrain to do another. Abdi is a case in point, great in a midfield 3 struggles in a 2. There are any number of attackers available for say £10m who could do what we want. We've had Rhodes nearly a year and he's only now competent to start games. What a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Why do we have to have this constant call for 'a 20 goal a year striker' all the time. Its so much better if we have 3 or 4 players chipping in with 7 or 8 a season. The 'lone striker' is a dead loss in current day football, since it is so easy to mark out a lone striker. All the attackers should be able to score, and score frequently. For years, Wdnesday have played a lone striker. The number of chances that go begging whilst a player 'gets the ball on to his best foot' Every footballer will have a 'better' foot, but should be able to use TWO feet. and be prepared to shoot at any often part-given opportunity. Incidentally, I was taken to the game by my wife , who at one time used too follow the game regularly. She casually commented after the game after I asked if she'd enjoyed it , replied 'Yes. The one thing I noticed is that they seem to play the ball in the air much more than I remember though' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it worked just fine for Murray who Im sure didn't alter his tried and tested methods. The difference is that Brighton were very positive last year. I think people get drawn into thinking football is cleverer and more complicated than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put the ball into the back of your opponents' goal more than they put it in yours, and if you don't shoot, you don't score !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day before Thursday Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 He was saying that the way football is played changes over time and if you don't adapt you get found out and left behind. He spoke specifically about the Championship and more teams playing out from the back and the important role the front players have in stopping this. Most importantly he said that JR had now adapted his play and that he was very pleased with his recent performances. JR will play tomorrow IMO. If you have the internet try listening to the press conference - it is available on the SWFC site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
