Therefore, a Rhodes-Fletcher front two is an obvious way forward. We know Rhodes can’t lead a line, but with Fletcher playing that role and Rhodes playing off him it could work well in our 442. Please no I’d rather Rhodes move on in the summer, let alone be in the first team Tried,tested, and not good enough anymore Edited April 18, 2019 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just about finding a club who will have him and pay his wages and a small fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the style of training foreign managers have, no doubt Bruce will sort this out pre season. I think FF, Reach ,Winnall, Hooper etc will go to raise the money we need to buy Hector and help with general finances. We need fast wingers who can cross a ball, then if we do play with Fletcher and Rhodes they would have more opportunities to score. When Rhodes played here we hardly ever crossed the ball, things are already a lot better than under Jos. Doubt whether Rhodes will be going to Norwich, with their current front two any other striker would struggle to get a game, so this has not helped Rhodes. Offering Westwood and Palmer contracts would be good and a short contract with options to Lee and Penney depending on early pre season training I don’t think Penny is out of contract this summer so no need to do anything until we see how he does next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a feeling before and after Bruce’s comments that Norwich have that option to buy they might need more strikers next year and have to go two up top more to make it stick I can see him going as a fee will already be agreed and he’s a decent pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I thought Huddersfield might come to our rescue, they are the sort of club, with parachute money, who could take a gamble on him Perhaps might have been more likely had they been managed by some old school British manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Some sort of Reach breakdown was inevitable eventually. We've ridden him like a BMX for three straight seasons. Barely missed a minute of first team football, and put twice the miles in that anyone else has. 39 games in his first season, 46 (!!) last year, and 41 this. 98% pitch time in total this year, and directly involved in 1/3 of our goals. If anybody has earned an early holiday, it's this lad. Absolutely pivotal to our overall chances next season, whether it registers on the pitch or in the coffers. Personally I hope it's the former, but either way, he needs and deserves a rest now. CC basically ran Kieran Lee into the ground, and it cost us big time. I'd be driving Reach to the all-inclusive myself right now, if I was Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gizowl Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Rhodes issue is a difficult one, if Norwich go up, think they'll want better than him, he's not a target man, no pace, so no good with Fletcher or Hooper, if we can get rid, think this would be the best option.
