To re-balance, his two goals this season Came when he was out wide. He didn’t score last season. So, his last goal for us as striker was two years ago almost to the day........ Still want us to sell Rhodes anyone, and rely on Joao and Nuhiu for goals, with a combined total of one goal between them in two years in league matches as a striker?

When he starts in the league he contributes very little Neither are a goal threat He's only had 2 league starts to be fair to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everydayiswednesday Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 22.30: SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY - Jordan Rhodes update As things stand Jordan Rhodes will not be leaving Sheffield Wednesday in this transfer window. There has been interest from more than one Championship club today but a deal that suited all parties wasn't reached and, as of now, he'll remain a Sheffield Wednesday player...unless something truly sensational happens in the next half an hour (which is unlikely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianowl Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Matias can play up top so we have 3 strikers and FF should be back in a few weeks, yeah? If we get an offer for Rhodes (even 2-3 mil) I'd take it. He hasn't panned out here and I doubt he ever will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Think this is just journos trying to keep what is a waste of time as a transfer window interesting. Half of the wouldn't know a Championship player if they bumped into them in the street so they pick out a name some will know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFC CAREER - CHAMPIONSHIP MINUTES PER GOAL Hooper 196 Forestieri 223 Winnall 250 Fletcher 273 Matias 331 Rhodes 380 Joao 381 Nuhiu 403 It's been done to death mate but DJ Mortimer's post the other night gives some insight. I've never been a fan of just going on stats alone as there are too many variables to consider. But yes I'd sell Rhodes or anyone for that matter if it makes our first eleven better.

Bluesteel Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I thought Rhodes showed a bit more aggression against Cardiff, fighting for the scraps a bit more. Joao needs someone doing that. Joao up front on his own is like playing 4-5-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 If the reports are true about us willing to let him go I can’t imagine Rhodes knowing the club wanted rid will help with his already poor confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Lucas is as far from a lone-striker as you can get. Poor first touch, not strong, gives the ball away too often and not great in the air. Fletch is the only one we have who can play the role, and you need plenty of goals from elsewhere in the team to rely on Fletch in that role.

I've never been a fan of just going on stats alone as there are too many variables to consider. But yes I'd sell Rhodes or anyone for that matter if it makes our first eleven better. Not read the thread from which those stats are quoted but to be fair to Nuhiu a fair chunk of those minutes will have been as a late substitute and a good few will have been when he has been sent on just to waste time or hold the ball up and trundle (I would have said run but....) into the corner with Carlos having no intention of trying to get a goal at that stage. Joao does some good things but too often wastes his good work with the wrong pass or a poor shot. Rhodes contributes little to build up play other than winning free-kicks if the ref is sympathetic to his countless falls and his finishing has been poor. Jos has done a great job in shoring up what was a fragile defence but without our injured creative midfielders we need whoever plays up front to be clinical, Joao hasn't learnt that art yet and sadly Rhodes seems to have lost the art since moving to us. In this instance the stats don't lie and the fitness of the top 2 on the list above is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
