@owlstalk Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I have the trust in Jordan Rhodes. When you have the instinct and the feeling that Jordan had before. You can not lose that. He can make goals. My hope is that in the next three months that he can do that and bring back his quality I believe in him and I believe he can do that. Maybe tomorrow if he starts or comes in the game we hope that We don't lose the trust in him. You don't lose that instinct and feelings that Jordan has. When the goal goes in next time he will have the new motivation and feeling that I can score goals. Jos went on to explain his record at re-motivating strikers who are going through a similar barren run, citing one lad in Germany who was the same and wasn't scoring/happy but Jos got him fired up, banging in goals and eventually going to Borussia Dortmund for 10 million quidddddd Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guvner Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 "I have the trust in Jordan Rhodes" 15 mins left to play against Barnsley chasing a winning goal, Nuihu's legs tiring, 1 sub left to use, Rhodes warming up....... Doesn't bring him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Rhodes is lacking in confidence, and his goal scoring instinct, probably hasn’t left him, but it’s missing the point A fit and firing Rhodes might be good, but at this level, that’s not enough from a striker these days That’s the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WatfordOwl Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'm hoping if JR gets a chance that it comes off for him. Right decision to take him out of the side when his confidence was perhaps at the lowest it's been in the time since he joined. Be great to see him prove the doubters wrong.

With all the pessimism around the club, the only optimism seems to be for Rhodes and I'm not really sure why From my perspective...........mainly because he's done it before. It is a bit of a head scratcher to think that in between a transfer to Boro from Blackburn where he was scoring, there's a player that just isn't capable anymore. May be a case of having peaked to early in his career and that could be taking it's toll but it's a very steep decline if that's the case. Generally, if we sell a striker they go on to score goals for another club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred mciver Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Rhodes ' record shows he's a fantastic striker and we all remember his goals against us at Hillsborough. However, he's an old -fashioned poo - liner who needs a real target man next to him. We just gotta get a system to suit him . He'll bounce back.

Of course, we shouldn't have signed him because doesn't fit our system, players. But we shouldn't have signed Abdi, D'Arby, Fletcher, Butters and loads more.
