Socialist_Owl Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Wish he'd fizz off once and for all. Never want to see him near a first team sheet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol City have both of their main CBs injured and were using a make-shift defence which was slow. Monk went went for as much pace up front as he could to take advantage. Rhodes will be back That worked well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be paying him anyway so why Not play him. He has over 100 championship goals probably 5 times more than the rest of the squad put together. Only Windass looks like scoring in the current squad and he seems to gel with Rhodes anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. This season he is 1 in 2 and was unlucky not to score against Watford, there were no grounds to drop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Some reight fools on here. Rhodes wasn’t DROPPED. Different matches call for different things. Monk obviously identified how slow their back three was which is why he went with the more mobile pairing of Kachunga and Windass. Definitely the CORRECT decision as it worked to a T in the first half and we should have been 2 up. Why can’t fans understand that some players are left out for tactical reasons, not just simply dropped? Monk did however screw up by putting Jordan on with only seven minutes left. Now that was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine league goals in three seasons according to soccerbase - the place from which I took my stats. Was the Steve Bruce didn’t play him a mistake or a lie?

One afternoon in Nottingham: 1+0 appearances, 3 goals. Rest of his Wednesday career: 43+35 appearances, 11 goals. Which really defines his time at the club?

Now that was ridiculous. Nail on head for me Monk's tactics were fine in the first half but as per usual his subs completely mystify me We are loosing with 25 mins left so he brings off an attacking midfielder for a more defensive non creative midfielder and then to top it off takes off a central striker and replaces him with a wide man Surely if we are chasing the game the sensible substitution would have been Brown off, Windass to the number 10 role, leaving Rhodes and Kachunga playing up front. if we end up loosing 2 or 3 nil from that situation then fine but at least we have had a go Whatever peoples opinions of Rhodes he was the only central striker in the squad yesterday and not to use him when we are loosing and needing a goal was terrible management 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a striker will come in on loan,before the window closes,if they dont than we will have little choice but to probably play Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 1-0 down with 20 mins left Does this mean that every time we go behind Monk is going to shut up shop and hope to keep it to 1-0 Every point is vital and at the moment we shouldn’t be thinking of goal difference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe people are defending such poor tactics. I think it is widely agreed on here that Monks substitutions are poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3 or 4 goal hammering for Dawson,and a defense dithering,instead of clearing..would have set us up potentially for more of the same...going forward, a narrow 1(or as it transpired 2) goal loss to side flying,is more recoverable ,morale wise.

FreshOwl Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 People want him to play for the simple fact he’s a striker and we don’t have any? In that case get Kuqi or Owusu back, or any other old former striker off who would contribute just as much as this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
