From what Pulis said today it’s clear Rhodes has little or no future come the transfer window, but until then he’s our best hope of goals. What did the great man say ?

Really enjoyable watch. Says the modern game up front is pace, power and getting in behind. My man Rhodes doesnt fit that does he? I maintain he’s the best we have right now, but I’m certain Pulis will buy to fit that description. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nothing like the type of player he favoured at Stoke. To be fair, he got a lot out of Jon Walters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffielddart Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I think they have different strengths. Whilst Verdi’s musical masterpiece “Aida” is an inspiring tragedy about doomed love taking place against a backdrop of war and palace intrigue. Rhodes “thumbs up to the lads” communicates deep emotion with just a simple upward gesture of the hand. I don’t think it’s fair to either of them to make the comparison. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like someone ploughing money into a one arm bandit thinking they’re bound to get the jackpot, when the reality is a few meagre returns along the way.” Elias Kachunga actually sounds like a one arm bandit and is less mobile. He made Rhodes look like Harry Kane Did Rhodes score? (or even look like scoring?) because thats what we paid(are paying) the 8 or so Million quid for,plus his wages each week...comparing Kachunga to that is a more reasonable comparison... NO kachunga may not be Maradonna....but on the other hand,he wasnt brought in with the same expectations was he? JR coming here was allegedly a great bit of business for somebody,just wasnt us...was it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I'm certainly not one who's been calling for Rhodes to start, but what the heck has Pulis just done!? Bringing him on at half time only to sub him on 85 minutes is going to completely destroy any remaining confidence he still has, isn't it? Fair enough, he did the square root of bugger-all this afternoon, but that's because he's Jordan Rhodes being asked to play upfront on his own with absolutely no service of any kind to feed off. Of course he did bugger-all! Rhodes looked thoroughly dejected when leaving the pitch, and I can understand why. That was a very odd decision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I think thats it....its sell on up the river...Jordan lets be bluntly honest...Pulis can only use what he's got...and I think he has made his mind up about our "Top" signing today and its probably fair enough...Wednesday fans have backed Rhodes, and slated better players off for long enough...The love affair is over... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 He is poo, but that was truly comical by Pulis Rhodes was getting about and winning flick ons What on earth was his plan, play Brown up there on his own? On earth would that achieve? Bonkers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc-dan Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Think it's such an overreaction if Rhodes looked dejected coming off. Sure if we were chasing the game and losing, but it was 0-0 and they were on top so we wanted to see out the draw. Shows he isn't a team player if he's getting miserable about being taken off for last few mins. He never looked like scoring when on the pitch anyway. We had few chances but the ones we did were in the first half when Patterson was up top. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Yup, he’s a gonner. His goalscoring has deserted him, he has no pace, no fighting qualities, no link up play, and everything stops when the ball falls to him. So sad to see, he used to be a terrific striker. I’ll remember you for the player you were though JR. A quality striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Rimmer Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The game changed since he was banging goals in for Hudds and Blackburn and he's not been able to adapt. He doesn't particularly seem to try hard either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Goodbye Rhodes, for the wage he’s stolen we could have a couple of decent players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
