sherlyegg Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Had Rhodes 1st goal scorer, ..on saturday night after a dose of Merlot admittedly. Never entered my head he would be dropped, at very least expected him to play 1st half. Monk's fooookin nuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot is more of a workhorse grape to be blended with a superior grape such as cab sav or Shiraz. If you are going blended you can’t really beat the 19 crimes reds for value for money. Regarding Rhodes I nearly stuck 50 quid on him at 80-1 at the beginning of the season but the reason I didn’t was I was worried about Monks manic team selections.

WalthamOwl Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Should have been bought on much earlier than he was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madam Shiraz always makes me dizzy..she's like battery acid but a bit more sour.. Try Valdieviso, from Chile...bollloxe to the French... Monk ought to buy a vinyard..but when making wine, he'd leave out the twattting grapes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomtheOwl95 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Don't think he was "dropped" to be honest. Rotated is the word I would use, it made sense to go with two runners in behind Bristol City's back three and in fairness if we'd taken our chances in the first half it would have looked an excellent decision.

If we’d have had strikers on the pitch we may have taken our chances. That’s the whole point !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did, Windass and Kachunga. Don't get me wrong I like Rhodes and probably would have started him but I can understand what Monk's thinking was. Things will look different when we bring in a target man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, against a strong back three I think Monk wanted the runners to get in behind. Rhodes as hard as he works is a box player, it's not his strength (although I think he's better at it that most think he is). Windass and Kachunga give you that ability to get behind the back three and stretch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109Waddle Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Must admit, I didn’t understand the need to change anything from a starting 11 that had taken points from the previous two games. This is what worries me about Monk, he seems to change things unnecessarily and we lose momentum and form so he changes the team again and things get worse. Having said that he sees the players train so will have had his reasons. Note to self: must stay positive a bit longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have got around the back and not scored as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do quite like the 19 Crimes red, although it veers a little close to jammy for my ideal tastes. Funnily enough I find their white (admittedly white is much less my flavour anyway) is more or less undrinkable - so heavily oaked it tastes almost synthetic, like a wine-flavoured cordial that someone forgot to dilute. 12 hours ago, sherlyegg said: Madam Shiraz always makes me dizzy..she's like battery acid but a bit more sour..

I like South American reds - particularly Argentinian Malbecs - but I do tend to aim for EU producers where I can, as they have lower allowances on % of sulphites and tannins IIRC. Less chance of a really banging head with native EU producers if you know you’ll be having a few. For robust flavours and lower acidity I can recommend Bardolino (Superiore if you like a deeper flavour), or Montepulciano d’Abruzzo for a really deep colour and spicy notes without the sharpness. Rhodes to hit ok form after a couple of injury dropouts elsewhere and end up on 14 for the season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
