Guest domSWFC Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 A strong Watford side kept us pretty quiet today, but you can see Rhodes looks much fitter and sharper than ever during his time here. He chased everything and has bought into the high press, defending from the front style we are implementing. Typical of the old Rhodes, even on a quiet game he popped up in the box and very nearly got a goal, from Brown's freekick. When he was subbed off, he didn't look disheartened like he has in the past. All the coaching staff high fived him and acknowledged his contribution and work ethic. A run of games in this side and I think he'll be like a new signing.

@owlstalk Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 So nearly scored again today! Just hit the post Wish it'd have gone in for him 3 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Without doing the whole ‘needs crosses thing’ ... he does really need some supply from wide areas in this formation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 We did well getting crosses in against Rochdale. Presume with Watford having a back 5 they identified it as a threat and nullified it completely today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeadonowl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Can’t remember one decent cross from open play today Harris summed it up in the second half when free in the left he spooned the cross into the kop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 IMO we really should be thinking about playing Reach on the left to ensure some decent supply for Rhodes and Windass. I don’t mind Harris on the right given his defensive capability, but we really need a bit of creativity from wide to ensure the forwards get more than one or two good crosses a game 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Thought he did pretty well today, unlucky not to score. I like the way he is chasing everything down. Seems like a new player. He didn’t have many chances created for him at all today. Edited September 19, 2020 by WalthamOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Now is the time to keep him in that 11, give him a proper 10/15 starts and then let’s judge him I suspect if Zohore comes in, and I think he will , that Rhodes will be on bench duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I tend to agree - keep playing him and he’ll get 15 this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know, but I'm looking at the bigger picture an injury or god forbid Rhodes should suddenly have a goal drought we don't have much to fall back on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otley Owl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I thought it was Rhodes who hit the post, and if it was he really should have scored. But saying that, if he had, and we'd have gone on to win, as a fanbase we'd be buzzing. Give him a run. Let him work with the new coaches and let's see. I get the false dawns, and I would struggle to give him a 6 for today, but I'm very happy with the whole team today, and delighted with the start.

Marro Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Goes without saying that we all want Rhodes to do well. I was encouraged by his goal last week - classic fox in the box scrappy tie poke. The Jordan Rhodes of old. Will he get back to being the player he once was? Probably not, but the current style of play gives him the best chance of scoring on a regular basis since he has been at Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
