Anyway there is enough on the bench to call in if needed.Your never happy whatever miserable sod He plays against Cardiff then gets injured. What then? We're short of options regardless. We need him to get off the mark asap. Today's game was an opportunity for him to do so. Now regardless of what the press have been told, we're going to have a week on here where people are suggesting Rhodes is finished here and you know what, I think they're right.

Emerson Thome Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 3 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: This is the thing for me I have zero issues or concerns with the starting lineup or Rhodes not playing but I do have some real concerns about our goalkeeping department (And no I'd not have Westwood back under any circumstances before the usual lot start chirping up) I hope the new goalkeeper coach improves these lads we have because it really does need it I think Dawson has the potential to be a better keeper than Wildsmith, so I would probably pick him. Wildsmith seems to perform nearer to his ability week in, week out, whereas Dawson has had the odd great game and then others where he kicks like a spanner. Might never get his kicking and passing up to Premier League levels, but if he can become adequate at this, improve his concentration - then with his athleticism and shot-stopping he could still be a player. These financial troubles have given him an opportunity, now up to him to grab it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We scared that if they get injured (which is very likely with our luck) we will have a real problem next week against a side like cardiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this may be a torrid affair Dunkley isn't fit, nor is Windass or kenkungabunga. Zero point risking them In this game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 It’s fairly obvious what Monk is doing here, he’s keeping Rhodes fresh for penalties 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowl Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Rhodes rarely gets injured, and he was ‘risked’ last week against Leicester - all the more riskier given the fact we didn't even have Kachunga or Windass signed by then. Rhodes isn't being rested. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tiki taka style will be required with that lineup Anything close to a long / early ball, will be a total waste Looks like Dawson is our cup keeper Maybe not, that could be what he thinks is his strongest lineup, and using the game as preparation for the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
