Without knowing anything think he is mentally shot which is sad as a lively fella. Have you heard him speak? He has the personality of shipping container. He was probably over the moon.

Sadly he has stopped doing everything he is good at and I don't know how you get him going again. What I will say is there is a decent player in there somewhere, I thought Bruce was the man to get.him firing again but sadly he fecked off. Could Monk be the man to get a tune out of him, I'm not sure but I bloody hope so. Yeah, and some still believe the world is flat How many poachers, or Rhodes type strikers are thriving in the top 2 divisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aguero, Pukki, Ings.. Billy Sharp (last season), Nakhi Wells Most of those are prolific poacher types.. some of them have a bit more to their game than that but they’re predominantly poachers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Sharp, who was a similar player to Rhodes previously, has now reinvented himself, running the channels, and even dropping deep to link play The days of the poacher who does little else, are long gone, useful only as an option from the bench in the latter stages of the game In fact, the role that ALF, another favourite on here, used to perform for Reading.

Ellis Rimmer Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 What about Rhodes crossing the ball in yesterday. Rather than being in the box he found himself on the flank just next to Reach, he took the ball which Reach should have received then put a cross into where he should have been himself. This guy needs to get his finger out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Reachs left peg Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Rhodes showed some good touches when he came on and I so wanted him to score, however watching him run there is no pace there have his legs gone....

Eaton_Swfc Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Looked like a fan who'd won a competition to play with the first team when he came on yesterday. Absolutely useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not, I would prefer him to just stick to the things he used to be good at and try and get some of that back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I do worry that the delay of his reintroduction to the team may have an impact on his ability to deliver 20+ goals this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mus Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I admit I have been very critical of him but yesterday actually felt sorry for the lad. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember Billy Sharp losing his bread and butter skills at any point being so far off it as what Rhodes is. You are in a dreamland if you think that Rhodes could possibly change his game for the better right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
