Rhodes and Winnall were goal scorers, but now they’re not, and consequently offer nothing else Putting in shifts is not getting us goals though and consequently not winning us games. Something has to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I agree, I’ve long said Fletcher isn’t good enough, but at the moment, he’s probably still our best option Hopefully in January, we can address things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so, think it's the Rhodes that has played an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, if they can find a team that can carry that sort of player, or find them a role, as Norwich did with Rhodes. Very few sides at this level, will find a start for a player like that, as they don’t do enough for the overall performance of the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few sides at this level, will find a start for a player like that, as they don’t do enough for the overall performance of the team Maybe so, I just feel there is a player in there that could address our goal shortage. He is a player we didn't need and for a number of reasons will do go down as one of worst signing ever, sadly much of that isn't down to him, under Coco we didn't play a system that gave him a chance and under Dross he was loaned out. I hoped Bruce would be the man to get him firing again but to say that didn't go to plan would be an under statement. Whilst his days are numbered here I would have him along side Fletcher for a few games and give him a decent run, we aren't scoring goals and there is little to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2012, Rhodes stats state otherwise, plus Winnall has 11 goals in 22 championship games before coming to us. Not sure who people are expecting us to sign in January cause no way we will bring in anyone who is gonna be top 10 championship quality. If anything it will be another unproven striker. Its easy to say that Rhodes or Winnall wont offer anything but without a run in the team this season, how do we know. Something has to change, Reach and Harris supporting Fletcher just doesn't work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Fletcher needs help. He can’t do it all by himself. Personally I would like to see Fletcher and FF start on Saturday with 2 of Nuhiu/Rhodes/Winnall on the bench ready to come on. Surely swapping FF for Reach makes sense after another poor performance from Reach. Edited November 28, 2019 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both said he's not one of those strikers who does all the hard work, all the chasing, so to never expect that, he's just a goalscorer, supply him the service and he'll score. Sadly that doesn't seem to have worked for him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_1 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Forget about Rhodes. Let's pretend he has no legs. Winall should be on the bench with Nuhiu. FF should be starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we do that?! You've said he only had 10 minutes twice, now you've grudgingly changed your tune to half a game, when the facts are that this season he's played for 182 minutes (and the stats don't include injury time either), that's actually over 3 hours including a full game against lower league Rotherham, when the only thing I can remember him doing is getting outpaced by 48 year old Richard Wood despite having a few yards start. It's time some people faced facts, he's not suddenly going to magically rediscover his form from 5 years ago, the lad was effectively finished as a top class Championshp striker at 25.
