You do realise you aren't buying a share in the club when you buy a ticket? When you watch a film do you worry about how much the actors are paid?

Yes When club gives its spiel about the 'Sheffield Wednesday Family' and 'I cant take the club into the Premier League without the fans help' and asking fans to dig deep into they pockets for multi year season tickets again when last multi year season tickets have not yet run out. Then I don't think its surprising a few will question how much money the club has wasted. Yes no one is holding a gun at anyone's head to buy anything but they do play on peoples loyalty at times.

OF COURSE fans going to games help pay the wages of the players they are watching and hence should be concerned with how much they are being paid.

mcmigo Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I do feel for Rhodes, as I am not sure what we or he can do to get him back scoring goals. He is clearly not good at taking free kicks or pens so has no use there. He also doesn't seem capable or willing to take shots out of the box so you can forget screaming the odd one in from distance. As a defender, he must be so easy to play against. He has no pace to get in behind and run onto anything, therefore you can march him up the pitch as a centre back knowing the opposition cant knock it over you onto the grass behind as Rhodes wont get there. That leaves you with dealing with him on crosses either in open play or set plays. He makes decent in box runs, and actually isn't too bad in the air, but any centre back of more than 6 foot ish will beat him in the air assuming it isnt a breakaway goal or the defender makes a mistake and loses him. There are very few circumstances he will have a scoring chance. They are: 1. A bad defender mistake ie a slip or just missing marking (norwich at home last season a good example). 2. His strike partner has taken out at least two defenders and has a cross pass on to an unmarked Rhodes 3. The midfield has got into the box and taken out a defender to release Rhodes 4. A miracle tippy tappy move that wrong foots the defenders a la Villa away. You might as well throw Hirst into the team alongside Joao. I would send Rhodes on holiday, let him forget this season completely, and come back and have one final crack at it pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that but ultimately the financial side shouldn't be something to worry about as a fan. What we pay as fans yes; what they do with the money not so much. I'd like to see the % of income ticket prices are for SWFC. 14 minutes ago, Lichfield alien said: What a bizzare post,,,you do realise we pay more than anybody else in this league so we can sign players like Rhodes and pay him massive wages..that's what dc tells us anyway What everyone else pays is irrelevant to this argument.

WalthamOwl Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Would like to see him play with Clare in the team, I think Rhodes could benefit from Clares positive attacking runs. The creativity in the rest of the team is shocking. Edited February 28, 2018 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gresh Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 A shadow of the player that he used to be. His confidence is rock bottom and is more or less a passenger in the recent games he has played in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdewsna Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Said it at the time and got slated, his signing would be a disaster and the start of our downfall. legs gone and 60k a week... it’s a disaster of the highest proportion.. also done no good to team moral...

Taximark Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Massive mistake the signing of rhodes but lets not forget we all wanted him at the time, I just cant understand why we signed winnall who was looking okay and having already having quite a few strikers why spending around 8m on another one. Looking back it was a huge mistake but easy to say it now. I just hope JR can turn it around because im genuinly gutted for the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had Snodgrass supplying him instead of Reach, he’d have more goals. He plays in a formation that doesn’t suit his style and it’s knocked his confidence How is Snodgrass gonna supply him with balls when our top boys have snapped his legs like they’ve been promising? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblueowl Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I feel fir Rhodes too. I genuinely feel that he has personal problems. If I'm right then keep your head up pal give football a break and get yourself sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Whatever the reason, and I suspect there are several dimensions to it, Jos should be brave enough to end his season now. He cant offer anything in the starting line up or coming off the bench and him playing like this is just making us and him worse. Give the guy 4 months off, don't let him kick a football. Let him come back 1 July and have another crack at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grOWLerInAThermos Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Forward line needs a massive freshen up this summer. Need 4 different strikers all with different styles to get out of the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
