Fletch surely as to be setting 20 as a realistic target and Rhodes can contribute to that (all been well). Rhodes as a pretty decent goal scoring CV and Saturday proved that with the right service/system he still knows where the onion bag is. If he can’t kick on from that then he never will. Come on JR...this is your time to shine lad. Exactly, monk seems to put most of his imputus on working hard, keeping it tight at the back and simple going forward . It was never going to work with Jordan under previous managers here as we played inverted wingers, our attacks were often too slow, overpassing on the build up and just didn't whip quick balls In the box. All things that don't help JR, his biggest attributes are anticipation and speed of thought which allows him to get onto quick balls/ chances before defenders can react. He thrives on the chaos and uncertainty of quick balls in and around the box, just as he did on Saturday against forest. If we continue to play in a similar higher tempo as we did Saturday it may just allow him to finally kick start his career here, we'll have to wait and see, with fingers crossed.

WalthamOwl Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 He really does come across as a really likeable bloke. Praying that he can continue banging in a few goals for us. Would love him to prove a lot of people wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 We will see if last week was a one off or has he really got his form back. Let's be honest he has had chances to perform but has been dreadful. Prior to last week we would all be happy to see him off loaded . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Totally ineffective today, in terms of being a threat, but at least he’s working hard Think last week was one of those flash in the pan moments We definitely need someone to play off Fletcher/Nuhiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's what he does! Other than that nothing fell to him. If you want him to be a Fletcher you will be disappointed. Even in his Blackburn days you ask there fans and they will tell you for most part of the game his contribution was minimal but bag a couple of goals.

Had some good touches. It must be so hard to play with nuhiu because you never know what he's going to do and he wins headers reasonably often but heads them to no one. Rhodes didn't put a foot wrong today. But he didn't have a chance. You have to supply him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuhiu on the other hand, yes he’s unpredictable, but he contributes. Three times he flicked on headers that an in form Rhodes should have been on to, and his general awkwardness caused their defenders problems, culminating in the penalty award. In truth, neither are worth a regular starting spot, and that’s why I expect us to be busy in the transfer market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
