Mick70 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Agree with Martin he another big nasty piece of work that we really gona need? This season a one off Gona be a scrap all way to the end and we need players that will roll their sleeves up and av a go? Would love us to play attacking lovely flowing football but we already starting at the very bottom of one big hill with not to much room to roll backwards while we try one thing or another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rhodes has the Hagen chance yesterday you’d put good money on him burying it, but that’s the problem he’s not getting those chances, he’s not getting into positions to score. This isn’t a player that has the yips infront of goal that needs five chances to finish, it’s a player that is completely lost and doesn’t look like he’s got the faintest idea of how to find himself again. Maybe Beattie can help him with that but I wouldn’t pin my hopes on it. Edited August 30, 2020 by swfc1983 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Beattie can help him with that but I wouldn’t pin my hopes on it. If Rhodes is going to get the kind of chances Hagan got yesterday then he can’t be coming much deeper than the final third of the pitch to receive the ball. He doesn’t have the pace or stamina to lay the ball off half way up the pitch and head into the penalty area. This is why he’s more often than not flourished with a target man alongside. The target man comes deep and brings others into play either with a pass or a flick on. It looked to me as though we were looking at Rhodes to do this yesterday and Reach, Brown or even Harris at wing-back were looking to get ahead of him? On yesterday’s showing we are going to find goals hard to come by from open play and we’re going to be overly reliant on set-pieces to score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 We all know Rhodes’s strengths and weaknesses but to judge him on yesterday is ridiculous. We got very few crosses into the box and outside the box he was up against Soyunc? , one of the best defenders in the Premier League. Obviously he needs help up there, he can only play in a two . In regards to strikers you have to sign the ones that suit the way we are going to play. A pacy, footballing forward would be great but we will have to play a lot more football on the deck through the middle rather than going wide all the time. Jutkiwiezc is the best header of the ball in the division and leads the line well. Ideal foil for Rhodes and others. If we could get him it would be ideal, he is a great focal point, and I honestly don’t see us suddenly becoming a great footballing team to support a smaller, pacy striker.

Guest Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Probably could’ve kept Fletcher for cheaper than what it would cost to bring Jutkiewicz in, who’s a great target man and not an asset I think Birmingham would let go cheaply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick70 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Whoever we sign they at the moment feeding off scraps? Harris needs to start doing wot he was doing at the start of last season..start delivering the ball early? The amount of times he now gets to last defender and tries to go back inside? Most forwards ( Rhodes inc) feed off early ball across the box before the defenders get the chance to organise and reset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re at lot hope we have the funds for him imo exactly what we need , would love a big mobile pacy target man but they come at top end premium? That nsame looks just what we need but can’t see us paying any more than 1/2 m for anyone atm Ah, that’s a bit of a problem then Get that transfer request in now!

davetherivelinowl Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 According to whoscored.com, best strikers in Championship last season (highest rating per match) included (out of 70 who played 5 or more times as a striker).... 5th Fletcher 8th Jutkiewicz 10th Nuhiu 13th Joao 16th Wickham 18th Brewster 22nd Martin 27th Rhodes 37th Bamford Jutkiewicz would be a fantastic signing but I don't suppose we can get him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
