fred mciver Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Crosser , target man, Rhodes. We only have 1 of above to get JR back to goal every 2 games. It aint his fault. And we're stuck with him, so let's all get behind the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Its gonna be a game of extreme unadventurous hopefulness....Jos can't do owt else with what he has got available... Sadly the defence is the vital thing at the moment until we get players back..... I'm going down there tomorrow with an intense feeling of "meh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Not playing to his strengths, think it will always be a losing battle. He’s was previous teams number one player to build a team a round but we have too many good players to focus just on Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Reachs left peg Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Really needs a goal could make a massive difference to his confidence problem is we don’t really have the players to supply him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Rhodes gets a lot of stick, some of it justified, a lot not so. For me he is a team player and hope it falls for him and he starts to find the net tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Didn't him and Sam get their first Wednesday goals against Birmingham, no Sam tomorrow, but hopefully an omen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It aint his fault. And we're stuck with him, so let's all get behind the lad. This myth again. He’s missed countless sitters this season. Off the top of my head: Free header 6 yards out at ipswich Free header 10 yards out at Norwich 2 sitters at home to Millwall (ok he scored one goal in this game but should have had 3) 2 sitters against Cardiff last week If I could be bothered to go back through all the highlights i’d be able to give you more. I can’t remember what teams they have been against. Granted we havent given him the the level of service he may have had at other teams, but the reason we paid so much money for him is to win us games when chances are few and far between. He hasn’t delivered that. Everyone keeps saying he’ll get one and kick on. Well I’m afraid this isn’t true. He scored two against Bolton earlier in the season. Went back to his usual self. He scored at home to Millwall, went back to his usual self. When will people stop defending him and admit this move hasn’t worked out. It was a gamble that didn’t pay off. Time to cut our losses and move him on. Edit: worth pointing out that in this team that gets no service Hopper was amongst the top scorers in the division before his injury and was easy on course to get 20 goals.

Bannofan Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 He doesn't deserve to be in the team, but if he is I hope our fans don't get on his back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most top strikers miss countless sitters per game, then pop up with vital winner (see JR in play off final years ago). As for our crossing stats, very few of those were quality from by -line to target man, for Rhodes to convert. That's all his game is. He aint gonna ganga press for 90 mins , because he can't. It's like buying Reach and playing as a goalie. Even DC admitted some sinister force got him to buy Jordan. Blame Doyen et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
