Or weren’t any of those 5000 football related? Sorry was just on the phone to Jordan asking him how he is and if he's free on Tuesday/Saturdays. Told him to man up too.

Yellowbelly Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 If we want to be a success in this division we need to score goals, simple as. For me a Fletcher/Nuhiu combo just isn’t the answer so I would like to at least have a few games with a Fletch/Rhodes partnership just to take a look. We’re paying him so we may as well at least try to get something out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think a derogatory fee would have been agreed. I suspect there's more to the whole saga than we'll ever hear. His comments about the dressing room alluded to problems, and I still don't know why his dad left sharpish the way he did. Then begs the question why he's become so fecking useless on the pitch. I don't think there is anything mysterious about Andy Rhodes departure from the club. Wasn't he appointed as assistant manager at Oldham Athletic, one of his former clubs in June last year? Perhaps a little more mysterious why he was sacked by Oldham after only 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been said this week that Norwich agreed fee and terms to sign him in summer, then DC blocked the move. All very bizarre. Reports at the time suggested there was a verbal agreement for a permanent deal after the loan period. Being a man of his word Mr Chansiri, (probably naively) expected the whole of the agreement to be honoured. Apparently it wasn’t so he said no. Norwich pretty much confirmed this by saying there was never anything in writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent reports refer to a deal just before deadline that was agreed in principle and then pulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 6 minutes ago, A12owl said: Your argument was well voiced in his early days here, me included. What were Huddersfield tactics when he scored goals for fun? Some say he should have adapted. Perhaps had Carlos set up a system to get the best out of him we wouldn't be in this position now. No club should buy a player and then play him out of position or not play to his strengths. Its all been said and i think its too late for him here. Many would still love him to start scoring again but he would have to score a hat trick in his first game and then at least a goal a game for the rest of the season. There would still be some who would want him gone. Poor lad cannot win. If it is anything to do with any sort of mental health problems then he should get everbodies understanding and help. We will probably never know . We aren't going up without FF and one of Rhodes or Winnall playing and scoring as there's just not enough goals in the team. Harris and Reach will get half a dozen each playing in a front 3 and it's not enough. Fletcher will get maybe 12-15. Then probably less than 10 goals from midfield (Luongo, Bannan, Lee and Hutch) and another half a dozen from the centre halves at corners. We need FF to get 12-15 too, and one of the strikers to get 15-20. Maybe they're both shot and not up to it, and in that case we need to bring replacements in in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Would be madness to put Rhodes back in the mix He’s shown no signs that he might be the answer to our goalscoring issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 He looked sharp in pre season, and we never played him alongside a target man, where traditionally he has excelled. Fletch and Rhodes as a front 2, with FF free role just behind them, might well pay dividends. Cannot see it happening however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you genuinely believe it's a mental health issue , so what draws you to that genuine belief bearing in mind there are a million and one other ailments it could be ? It may be just down to not being good enough or lack of desire, not as dramatic as your diagnosis but I'm no doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 5 hours ago, Mr Hooper said: Jack Stobbs used to score goals for the under 23's. Rhodes just isn't the player he once was. He can't run, and for someone with 200+ goals to his name, he doesn't seem to be able to shoot, which is strange. He's ran out of chances. I thought you said he couldn't run? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bulgaria Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I would give him a run of 3 games Along side Fletcher. I really do think if he bagged a goal we would see his chin off the floor. Obviously I don't see him in training or know what his attitude is like, I've no doubt Monk would be using him if he thought beneficial, but playing two up top seems to be his plan b.

At the moment, stick with Fletcher, Harris and Reach Yes it’s pretty crap goals wise, but it’s kept us in the top 10 so far Quite frankly, if we could, I’d change all three, but it might take a couple of windows to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
