Its very evident that weve never suited what Rhodes does. He needs a workhorse at the side to compensate his lack of input...chuck in a winger and proper service from midfield and you’ve got yourself a goal scorer. Yes he has to start taking chances but that comes from reliable and frequent service from the team and confidence in the player himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Nice to read that. Hope he starts him tomorrow. However I feel whatever happens between now and the end of the season Rhodes will leave during the summer Edited February 12, 2018 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most other Championship sides, he’d get even less of a look in A lot use just the one striker, and the better sides would want a higher energy levels The more tradional pairings tend only to be found in the lower leagues A shame, but Jordan has failed adapt to the modern game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 An on form Rhodes seemed to know what was happening before anyone else did. He would think quicker than the others, just watch his goals for Blackburn he did all sorts of things to trick defenders and keepers. He seems to have lost his belief since joining Boro. I don’t think he can complain too much about his time here as he has had games and he has missed a lot of good chances. I just hope he can get something back as he is one of the good guys in football, he threatens to with a typical goal and then it goes again.

The Rhodes we have seen for the last year is not the same player and there are no signs of it coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who goes home and away will have seen this. If he had taken 50% of those chances we wouldn’t give a flying you know what about the rest of his game. His problem has been missing chances, which has sapped his confidence and made it difficult to start him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was perfect that day. But... it was lg 1 But he has been just as good for Blackburn in the championship. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last goal for Blackburn was on the 23rd Jan 2016, he signed for Middlesborough on the 1st of Feb. His 6 in18 for Middlesborough in the Champ wasn't too shabby either, with him getting his last one on the 29th of April 2016 helping Boro win promotion. Not really Jordan's biggest fan, think we needed some speed up top, but he gets a disservice on here at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 If he comes in the game though.........

Wakefield owl Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 3 hours ago, WatfordOwl said: 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. But it's not really a case of being doubters but a case of being realistic. How many games/chances should he be given? We have to judge him on what we have seen in the last 12 months and not on what he did three years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
