owlZfan84 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2019/december/positive-mindset/ Jordan Rhodes was the hat-trick hero on Saturday at the City Ground on an afternoon where the striker was unstoppable. The prolific forward achieved a feat only matched three times before in the club’s entire history by scoring a first half away league hat-trick. The joy for Rhodes and his team mates was plain for all to see but the journey leading up to that point has not been straightforward for the 29-year-old. But a strong mentality, hard work on the training pitch and a determination to reach the heights the striker is best known for has been the key for Rhodes. “I’ve been trying to work as hard as I can on the training field and improve myself behind the scenes, as a player and as a person,” he said. “Sometimes as a striker you get those kind of games where everything goes for you and other times they don’t. “But that’s why you keep going, it’s why you play football. “You keep going for those little rewards at the end like on Saturday, it was great to come to a difficult place and get three points and now our attention turns to a busy Christmas period and see how we get on.” Rhodes has made nine appearances for the Owls this season and had to wait until last weekend for his first goal to arrive. But once it did, there was no holding back as Rhodes devastated Forest with a 37-minute treble to kill the game before the break. “You try and keep your head down and work as hard as you can and each day is a chance to impress. “With that mentality in mind, I’ve tried to keep my head down and stay as positive as possible. “It’s not always easy when you’re not playing football but days like that when you get that reward and coming on last Saturday at Hillsborough was also a real boost and I’ve really enjoyed this last week. “Let’s see what Bristol City brings now.” 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Sounds like he was moving out in January, whether or not we’ll have a rethink now Can’t see too much has changed, it’s only one match, and we still need pace and guile in striking areas We shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Isn’t he our only striker on our books for next year as it stands Really hope he and fletcher push on and be a real force this year the good thing in what I see to make this not a one off is we attack at pace and put plenty of balls in the box all four of our goals there was 5 yards between rhodes and fletcher we are putting the balls into areas where we have two goal scorers playing close enough off each other to get on the end of these balls play like that ( and it’s been coming ) and we will be right up there come the end These two on fire with what we create is lethal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got bets on 65+, 70+, 75+, 80+ and 85+ goals for Wednesday by the season end, and for us to be leading goalscorers. Just wang em in JR.
