I'm sure you know the answer to your question; we haven't been renowned for chance creation and getting the ball in the box. Long curly-haired git Wetherspoons owner.

Holmowl Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 1 hour ago, agentwalker said: The guys lost it. Passing on the responsibility of the pen in the playoff semi tells me everything about the guy. Would be very surprised if he ever regained any sort of goalscoring form for the rest of his career. But he’s found it again at Norwich. Do you know how good a goal every 150 minutes is across his career? He only ”lost it” with us. I think we don’t create anywhere near enough for a poacher, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stuck nuhiu in that team he'd be just as affective. There a good team who are putting chances on a plate for their strikers at the moment 1 hour ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 1 hour ago, punkskaphil said: Just out of interest, would you said he'd lost it back when he was playing for Huddersfield? I ask because he wasn't one of the five named penalty takers in their Play-off shootout either. But did they ask him to take one?? There's not many £10 million strikers who would refuse to take a pen when the manager comes calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 1 hour ago, Dooogs said: Exactly. The whole point of the OP is that his Wednesday form increasingly looks like an aberration rather than a long-term trend. We didn't have the right sort of set-up play for Rhodes to thrive. We pumped long-balls from midfield at him, often surrounded by a couple of defenders, rather than counter-attacking and getting horizontal crosses in. He should have been treated tactically like a poor man's Carroll rather than a Sheringham \ Heskey style link-up player. Exactly. Posters saying he lost confidence here....hardly surprising given the service we offered up. Now he is in an attacking side his goal-scoring stats are back where they always were. I’ll remind you of my conversation with an udders ST holder when we signed him... Me “Is he fast?” udders “Christ no” “Is he strong?” ”Nope” ”Good in the air?” ”Not especially” ”What has he got then?” ”Knows where the back of the net is” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There a good team who are putting chances on a plate for their strikers at the moment So as long as he plays in a good team who create chances for their strikers, he's not actually lost it and his goalscoring form turns out to be pretty decent, then? That's good, as I'm sure Bruce is intending us to become just that kind of team ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
