Sheff44 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 We are lacking a top/good striker. Dont get me wrong I like Fletcher, but hes nita 20+ goal a season man, which is what u usually need to get promoted. Rhodes is a has been. Win all is just ignored for some strange reason. We've got the ammunition now, just need someone to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Was dissapointed that Rhodes couldn’t get on the end of something today. I don’t even mean score, just make the keeper work. Those were ideal conditions for him too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Don't think we had any 'clear cut' chances today. Just half sniffs. Think probably the best one was the header that Rhodes directed just wide as their defenders attempted to rip his shirt off him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Rider Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 That’s our biggest problem this season. We need Rhodes to deliver. Unfortunately it’s more hope than belief for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately like most of this ilk his knees gave way too often ... On modern pitches today he would have ripped new ones every week Edited August 17, 2019 by OWLERTON GHOST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I’d give Rhodes the rest of the month. If he’s still looking tame then we should definitely start chucking Winnall on the bench in his place. Feel like Winnall plays with the aggression and guile that Fletcher offers, so he’d be a good sub for when Fletch is tiring. The none use of Atdhe in a game like today is a worry. After the first hour we were crying out for a player of his ilk. He’s only worth having if the manager can identify moments like today when he’d be most effective.
