He’s strangely a threat in the air for a player that you could never use as a target man. Plenty of his goals have come from set pieces, which Pulis is really going to utilise.

Thus they will not see one penny from me until things change.I will continue to support my Club,watching when i can(pubs when they open) or via Local Radio. At least by the way,i am taking my own stance,little point in shelling out money,to than come on here and bemoan eh?... perhaps if more people (many have said similar,but we will see) did as i am,the 'sleeping giant' might take a bit more notice?..instead of paying out season after season to watch what many describe as **** Think that's him back in his box !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaves Rhodes. But that’s why I’m so looking forward to Saturday. None of us have a clue what Pulis will have come up with this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will we nick a goal with Rhodes though? unless he falls down for a penalty? Rhodes not suitable for lone striker role in my view,and too many draws are going to relegate us...

trevdi9 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Rhodes needs a partner to supply him ,can't do it on his own he is not a target man either , he is at his best in the box 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 4 hours ago, Holmowl said: Sneaking feeling you are right. Marriott is carp and the other three aren’t strikers. I’d be very tempted to try Rhodes-Windass but I’d totally understand if Pulis decides he’s only got one proper striker. Fortunately Rhodes’ injury records is spotless. Hope that’s still the case at S6 and at 30+. Unless Pulis can bring in a out of contract target man before the next transfer window, my thinking is that he'll have to alternate between 3-4-2-1 and 4-2-3-1. With Windass or Rhodes leading the line, Paterson's more of a midfielder, as is Kachunga and Marriott showed at Derby that he can't lead the line on his own. I think we'll have to rely on our defensive solidity, Luongo's sitting in front of the defence to allow our midfielders to support whoever leads the line, until we can get a striker or two in that actually suit playing for Pulis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZicoSterland2 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Sadly have to agree has been a goal threat in about 5 games in his total Owls career. Was out of the Boro side when we signed him and his career has been in decline ever since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be suprised. He has hardly ever looked like scoring in his time here. Sadly he is a shadow of what he once was. This second coming is repeated week on week on here but never happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are that good they can just start scoring for fun ? "Ooh I could net this but I've got 2 years left so I'll scoop it over the bar " "Why would I want to keep banging in goals in front of a packed kop " Yes I’m 100% serious actually I’m going as far as saying this is fact and I’ll stand by my point I’m saying I honestly believe that 30 year old Rhodes will be offered a 7 year contract when it happens too FACT!

Pretty much how i see it myself,i just dont see how we can place our goal scoring 'threat' on JR....such a gamble,if it went wrong would in all probability see us lose games.....unless TP can turn around the defence,in which case we might pick up points through drawn games,but will that be enough? Is TP likley to set up a team that all agree would be needed for JR to have a chance(to be fair to him) to score?....
