Plus, he’s got on the end of crosses to score one and narrowly miss two. Best he’s played for us. He does make good runs I will give him that but he must finish his chances when he gets them because they are not half chances they are clear cut ones. He does lose possession far to often for me though. I feel him and Rhodes try to do what Fletcher and Nuhiu do in trying to link up the play. But they are just not very good at it.

In league matches he has not had a start and has hardly had any minutes. If only someone could get him scoring again it would ease this huge problem that the club has of his contract and wages. If the last managers (including Farke) haven’t given him starts or many minutes on the pitch you have to ask why. Training, attitude and fitness all have to be right, and something clearly isn’t right with the guy. The form he had a few years ago shouldn’t just disappear at his age.

Anyone who has a actually watched a game this year knows it was rubbish. But plenty still seemed happy to stick the boot in. I wish I was as “fat” as Reach! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Would absolutely love Rhodes to score a couple of goals for us in the next few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Jos was a shrewd team selector? At Norwich he was behind Pukki. Who would you pick? Even if he’s nothing but a occasional starter and a fairly regular 15 minute sub, we really want him to score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnishOwl Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I really like it how he says that he won't stop the individual coaching until the player gets it. So there's no way for them to avoid him until they can show that they really see how he wants them to perform. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have found space a couple of times but "brilliant"?! And Not sure he's created "plenty". To me he looks slow and his first, second and third touches are not there.

Hey, I’d love him to be scoring when he gets his chance and yes Pukki would always get the nod ahead of Rhodes. BUT and it’s a big but if you look at the (amended) stats posted by Neuman earlier Rhodes is currently the least effective of our strikers and even some way behind Iorfa in terms of goals/minute played. With his clinical scoring ability four years ago I’m unable to figure out why at his age he is no longer performing at anywhere near that level. I’d blanked Jos from my memory by the way and was thinking Carlos, Bruce and Monk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Flange Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) He says Wigan are one of the best in the league at set pieces. We haven't got the best record at defending them. One thing we have got to prevent tomorrow is giving silly fouls away anywhere near our box. I know we seem to get unfairly penalised by poor referees but we do appear to give a lot away and need to get a bit more smart with it so we don't give poor refs the opportunity to penalise us.

Oooh let's just have a side of right backs..... How many do we need??? Lee is still getting match fit and Sharpe, come Christmas he'll be everywhere on the pitch and bursting into the box onto the end of things, just wait n see.

Its results on the pitch that ultimately count. The talk is nice to hear but means nothing unless it’s backed up with points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
