If you play like Brentford then you need a pacy striker. Pigs overload the flanks and generally rely on crosses into the box so pace not as important Pukki is all about his movement but he is quick over a few yards but mainly Norwich get their pace down the flanks. The absolute must for Rhodes is he needs to play in an attacking team and not a counterattacking one because of his lack of pace. Both McGoldrick and Pukki are more mobile than either Rhodes or Wickham, but I take your point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Sharp, Mcgoldrick, Pukki are all industrious. All work their knackers off and harass defenders. They’ve definitely all got that in common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was involved in pretty much everything we did well that half. I’m talking about 3 and a half years, not 45 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. He’s an enigma wrapped in a one dimensional tactic wrapped in an unwillingness to change wrapped in a “can’t be arsed” attitude in my humble opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Our win over QPR is probably our best performance since beating Leeds in January. Our squad options have been depleted by players leaving, fatigue and injuries. Rhodes contribution this weekend? Sat on his ass and got paid more than most (if not all) of his colleagues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnssweetshop Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Rhodes has taken the club for fools. given nothing other than a hospital photo op. Will go down in our history as one of the worst signings ever to fleece the club dry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 The blame for pisssing millions up the wall on Rhodes lies firmly with DC. Have it on good authority that Gibson and Rhodes's agent could not believe their luck that a club would be so stupid. One of many massive errors brought about by having someone in charge with no idea how to effectively run a club. No blame on Rhodes whatsoever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No blame on Rhodes whatsoever. That's the thing people should understand. The player or agent is not stupid for asking the money. The club is stupid if they are paying without proper due diligence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atdhe getting preference ahead of him and won't even be here next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'll always wonder why it's not worked out for him here? He had a decent season at Norwich, so he's obviously still got it in his locker but no manager here who has had him at their disposal has been able to get a tune out of him. I thought he looked sharp in the first three games after lockdown but then for whatever reason Monk dropped him to the bench and he hasn't really been used since. If we can move him on between now and the end of the next transfer window, we most likely will but as we look at all the problems we are now facing, the transfer windows of season 2016/17 have really gone a long way to putting us in the position we are in now?
