Blue and white Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 3 hours ago, Jack the Hat said: Second highest championship scorer and our only striker apart from Windass ( who I am not convinced is a number 9) whom he seems to compliment and he gets dropped and brought on too late to make an impact. Ridiculous decision by Monk. Despite his poor form for us is still averaging almost 1 in 5 which is what Zahore got last season in a promotion side and we want to spaff 25k a week on him . Rhodes needs a run and if he gets it will bag 20. Kachunga is OK but his scoring record is bobbins. And so it starts, making unnecessary changes and breaking up an unbeaten team. Why to go Monk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack-Abusi Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Last weeks team should have started unless we had injuries. Players should lose their shirt when out of form or injured 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in wednesdays squad is capable of scoring a hat trick the quality of which Rhodes scored against Forest less that 12 months ago? who was the last wednesday player before Rhodes to get a hat trick? rhodes has been a disappointment since he came here, but who in our squad is more likely to score more than him? Windass has to play either way because of his energy but who is this imaginary squad player who will score more than Rhodes. Don’t insult me by saying either Kachunga or reach who is this mythical beast? We haven’t got a striker who can score on a regular basis , who we can rely upon to get us a goal and that includes Rhodes , I just don’t see why you think he’s the answer , you have seen his performances haven’t you ? we are still searching for a striker to take us forward , Hopefully we get one soon .

He isn’t even a centre forward Because Rhodes has scored only 9 goals in 4 seasons and is little more than a passenger if he’s not scoring. The sad truth about Rhodes is that he’s yesterday’s man as illustrated by a terribly out of form Reach is being selected as a sub before him in today’s game. Carvalhal, Luhukay, Bullen (twice), Bruce and now Monk haven’t played Rhodes as their first choice forward and have brought in others to start ahead of him. That tells you everything.

0114 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Whatever anyone’s opinion is on Rhodes over the last 3 seasons. He did not deserve to be dropped following on from Cardiff and Watford. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evaowl Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 We haven’t given any striker a run in the team for years (often due to injury to be fair) but when we have - for example Fletcher last year and Nuhiu under Jos, those strikers have built up form and matched it with goals. Play Rhodes as a striker from the start for 10 games in a row (Without the fear of being dragged off after an hour) and you’d get 4 or 5 goals. It’s true of many strikers these days - they don’t play a normal game as they know they’ll be subbed after an hour. Destroys confidence. Imagine Iorfa if he knew he was getting hooked after an hour...he wouldn’t play his normal game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We picked up 4 points from Cardiff and Watford and one player is dropped too the bench and the other not even in the 18. Kachunga and Palmer both given starts after playing in a defeat to Fulham. Most feel both were among the poorest performers in that game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have whatever opinion of Rhodes and that’s fair enough. However why do you keep saying he’s scored 9 in 4 seasons? That’s simply a lie so you can try to back up your point. League goals 2016/17 - 3 goals 2017/18 - 5 goals 2018/19 - 6 goals 2019/20 - 3 goals Not good, but that’s 17 goals (+1 this season). It’s not 9 league goals. He’s also scored 5 league cup goals during that time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
