I like to look at the names of those who 'neg' posts like this one, and see if I can find them lodging 'fierce' objections at the time or near to his signing.

For me I still believe he will be gone in January mainly due to his high wages and poor form. However if he was to be given a run and score a few maybe his confidence will come back and he could make all the difference, he's likely to score more than nuhiu and winnall, what are your opions fresh start or get rid? He might get a loan move but no-ones gonna pay a transfer fee in Jan. Never liked Rhodes, he's slow and weak and his composure and eye for goal has gone missing since his Middlesborough days. I'd sooner chuck me up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes was goal side of him running onto it and it was like he was running with led boots on. He just took one look at the guy catching him up and but the brakes on.

He looked terrified when he came on which can't help his game at all, then one of the first things he does is give the ball away. It just hasn't worked out for him and I agree he needs to find another club and a fresh start. Don't feel sorry for him mate he gets paid very well to feel terrified on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maltbyowl Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 People need to get off his back and get behind him bloke hardly gets a chance. Fair enough hes been poo but hes not had a chance at all this season so give him a break hes not going to get any better with people slating him at every given opportunity. You can see hes a nervous wreck, someone out of crowd shouted come on Jordan its your day today and he smiled it was like he needed that confidence boost.

If we was scoring shed loads he would get loads of minutes. Perhaps he isnt getting game time because he doesnt produce when he does get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't take a penalty when Huddersfield played the Pigs in the play offs. It was nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 The biggest problem for any striker is there has been too much competition for places. Fletcher, Hooper, Forestieri, Nuhiu, Joao, Winnall and Rhodes have been competing against each other for the best part of 3 years (albeit a couple loans). This never allowed for any consistency, never allowed two strikers to form a partnership. Not until Bruce came in did Fletcher really establish himself as our main striker. Even for the other players supplying the forwards it’s never helped that one week your pumping up to Fletcher or Nuhiu, another Hooper or Forestieri are dropping deep towards midfield, or even Rhodes and Winnall who both like to linger and attack crosses. It’s no surprise we’ve seen little consistency over the last 3/4 years with our front line because apart from Fletcher no ones really been allowed to be the main stay upfront.

He doesnt take penalties when it really matters. Not a good sign for a striker who has scored lots of goals from the spot. Perhaps he just likes to take them them winning 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
