Popular Post edwinowl Posted June 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2020 Personally I’ve always been a fan but I will admit he hasn’t hit anywhere near his best whilst here. I have however seen something in these two games Partnered with CW that gives me some optimism. He appears to relish the in behind and on the shoulder role again that’s been his signature all these years that made him so successful. I’d like to see these two continue for the rest of the season and then we can re assess him but he’s definitely getting into scoring positions again and it’s only a matter of time for me before he goes on a scoring spree. Let’s be positive for the lad. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I like the partnership he has with Wickham. For me those 2 starting together is what we should do in as many of the remaining games as possible. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Never give up on a player when you are still paying their wages but I am not holding my breath on Jordon Rhodes coming good. Didn't notice him much yesterday. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Thought he was the weakest player on the park for us yesterday. Never looked like scoring. Da Cruz made more of an impact when he came on. Much as I want to see him smash some goals in on a regular basis there is just no indication that he's anywhere near that.

0114 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Think anyone with a run of games will improve. Him and Wickham have looked suited together so far. Rhodes numbers over the last couple years in terms of minutes to goals isn’t half as bad as you would believe. It was something like 14 goals for every 34 matches. We may not be able to move Rhodes on now either. His wages are huge, football has taken a huge financial hit and I’d be surprised if we can move him on easily. Be our luck that he bags 20+ next season and then off he goes on a free. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat blondeau Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Even though Wickham has never been our player, he’s now scored the same number of league goals for Wednesday as Rhodes (11 each). And Rhodes has scored the same number of league goals at Hillsborough for Huddersfield as he has for Wednesday (4 for both clubs). Rhodes last goal at Hillsborough came on the 31 October 2017. That’s some goal drought on your home ground 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s some goal drought on your home ground How many minutes of football has he played at Hillsborough in that time? It's a great stat and completely ignores the fact that he was on loan at Norwich for a season. He proved at Forest earlier in the season that he's still capable of scoring goals. I hope a run of games and some confidence could get him firing again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&WOwl Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Think it’s clear Rhodes is past his prime, but there is faith in his partnership with Wickham. Wonder if the tactic is to create space for Wickham by luring out defenders. Edited June 29, 2020 by B&WOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have to check how many of those are starts and how many are as a sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely he must have scored since then surely. Of course, he was at Norwich for a season. That changes things.
