Sometimes a striker has played his part if he's paved the way for someone else to get the glory. If this is a sign that Rhodes is ready to step up and contribute we could be in the unlikely position of having some positive options up front even though our top three at the start of the season are all out injured.

I was more impressed than usual with him tonight. I thought he put a real shift in, made some great touches and I was delighted he got to hear the affection of the crowd. I'm hoping that'll do him the world of good. But to praise him for his PACE????? He must be the only striker in the league who can be outpaced by both Keogh and Davies (combined age 364).

Lombardo Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 went down in our box, nearly got ahead of myself and shouted penalty, but he put a shift in defending set peices as well as a tidy game up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Rhodes hater, cause I'd love to see him scoring goals again but, honestly, he must be the slowest striker I've ever seen. That doesn't mean he can't be a terrific player: Hooper and Ross Macormack are almost as slow and most of the Derby team tonight seemed short on pace. Slow players can bring other qualities.

Lord Snooty Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Worked his socks off tonight. Couldn't get a break. Closing down and working back. And one superb defensive header in our box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wednesdaylander Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Worked his socks off today and played some great passes. Him and Joao look a good partnership. Hopefully his confidence has been given a big boost tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWL1969 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 He like everyone who played in Blue and (a bit of) white, put in a great shift for the team tonight. Nice to see such commitment and the desire to actually run with the ball or pass towards our opponents goal, rather than back towards our own. The effort of every player was superb to see both when we had the ball and as importantly when closing down "the opposites" (sorry thinking about Saturdays post match interview already) when they had possession. Let's hope we show such desire and will to play more frequently. UTO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 He worked hard, but he has lost his spark I’m afraid to say. Crowd were great with him tonight - it’s desperation when we sing his name after he closes a defender down but still doesn’t come out with the ball - we were so happy that he did something. No doubt he put a shift in but got to expect more formour money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
