Well you said only we could be negative after last night, which to me would suggest that you thought it a great performance. I was saying I didn't think it was a great performance - I reiterate, I thought it a functional, bloomin' fun performance - so therefore I think some analysis of shortcomings is pretty fair game.

Last night was the last straw for me i would give him 0/10 score, never won a header, weak in the tackle, shocking ball control, brushed off the ball easily, never held the ball up once and never once found space for a chance. I have always said give him a chance but sorry IT'S TIME TO OFFLOAD ASAP. That’s been every fuching game I’ve seen him play for us. I was say it’s almost like playing with 10 men.

When we signed Winnall who was banging them in and on form for next to nothing, in reality I was pretty happy with that as a god solid signing for what we needed. It was insane to then blow all that money on Rhodes a few weeks later. Crackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly this doesn't seem to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is time to move on. I genuinely think the guy has no interest in the game anymore. He's been around a long time now, he seems to be purely in it for the pay cheque and probably is scared silly over what he'll do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t strike me as someone just doing it for the cash (hello Fernando) but I agree that something is going on mentally there. In a way it’s sad to watch. He looks to me like someone that knows what to do, but just can’t make the connection between brain and body any more. The first goal in the Forest game was pure instinct-no thought involved, just whip a shot in. After that you could see confidence in everything he did. Sadly, you can’t guarantee him a free goal every game to get himself going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko Wigan. Willing to pay 500k all in for Jordan Rhodes loan. Sheff Wed want more. May hinge on Wickham loan progress. Not much sign of that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Bit of a rubbish offer - but perhaps the only one we’re likely to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It's not a great offer, but a sizeable chunk towards Wickham's wage for the duration. I'd hope Wickham's contribution would better Rhodes' pathetic offering here for the remainder of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, you can’t guarantee him a free goal every game to get himself going He is still making the runs and getting into positions but his overall game is awful. Two lovely poacher runs for Murphys crosses. 1st half he should have buried that header, brilliant movement though. 2nd half nice run but the cross was too far in front of him, he couldn't run any earlier as he would have been offside. Its his contribution to the team that is lacking, for quite a big lad hes weak in possession and gets knocked off easily. 1st touch(when its not a shot) is shocking and his speed of thought and passing isn't much cop either. If he's not scoring then he doesn't/can't contribute. That said, if he joins a team who put decent crosses in and get bodies in and around him he will score goals.
