Left-footed Filth Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 That Jordan Rhodes has definitely lost it and is way past it. With these new forwards banging the goals in it's clear as day. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 He's getting better with every passing game, isn't he? Give it a while longer and he'll be reaching Paul Heffernan territory. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 First and foremost we choose forwards to defend from the front. The ability to score goals is secondary and it shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I know Rhodes probably isn't the answer to our goal scoring woes, but not giving him a chance is just weird. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinowl Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 It’s like GM has something personal against him. Someone posted if only we had a proven goal scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I don't think Rhodes is the answer because he's been asked the question far too many times in the past only to answer inadequately. Nevertheless, it's when the other forwards are struggling as well, that it's hard to understand why he's not given more game time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Claw Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 why does monk want a goal scorer to spoil his selection of a team set up not to loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I wish there was a quick way of bringing up all Jordan Rhodes posts over the last five years and posting them in this thread so we can see what Wednesday fans have said about him since he arrived here. Just because we're struggling to score goals people are making out he's the answer when for the last few years everyone's been saying incessantly that he's washed up, over, finished, can't score, useless, slow, not the answer, he should leave, we should give him away etc Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William 1867 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Another player that has been Monked just like Mat. He would rather play his poor signings that he made in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that in the few times he has played he’s been more useful than Paterson and Marriott who truly have been shocking . Lesser of two evils . I don’t think anybody is saying he’s the long term answer to our problems . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatzooma Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Didn’t one of our players say something about how good Rhodes is in training g and it’s what he does off the ball? Anyhow, they were singing his praises. But then again Bannan once praised Pellypussy for his work rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability to score goals is secondary and it shows. In the two games he played we didn’t concede. We weren’t under the cosh. We’ve scored 6 in 11 games. We are on target to score 24 goals all season. The four preferred strikers have scored 2 goals in 11 games. We are 1\4 of the way through the season. We’ve not found a strike partnership. Rhodes needs to be tried with Windass again, with Paterson as an alternate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably he convinced DC they were better than Rhodes. He’s ruining our chances by stubbornly or desperately trying to justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t blame Monk for Rhodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just aren't an attacking team and on the few occasions we do manage a goal immediately go all out defence. We were one of the lowest scoring teams last season and will be again this. I think only Derby have scored less, us and a couple of others on 6 but most teams now comfortably in double figures for goals scored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling Wolfe Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Why do some people think Rhodes is the answer after 3 years of him being close to useless up front. I just don’t get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t get it. Because it’s a brand new question. Old question - is Rhodes worthy of a place alongside one of Hooper, Fletcher, Forestieri, Winnall, Joao, Nuhiu? Answer - No. New question - is Rhodes worthy of a place alongside one of Windass, Paterson, Marriott, Kachunga? Answer - of course he is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
