blueandwhitematt Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 22 minutes ago, Owlinmad said: It was tactical. If you couldn't see that then you know nothing about football. This. It doesn't seem like Pulis trusts Brown in midfield at the moment (partially due to fitness maybe?). And considering how bad our set pieces and deliveries into the box were, it made sense to try and get Brown on the pitch and address that - not that he did but you can see the logic. So it was either take Paterson or Rhodes off to get him on - Paterson at least puts himself about and challenges defenders, Rhodes works hard but he's just never with the pace of the game. Its not nice for any footballer to go through that, and wasn't nice to see. You'd absolutely love it to come together for Rhodes, but its just not looking remotely likely with us. But I'd rather Pulis have taken Rhodes off than Paterson, just for the sake of not hurting his feelings. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc-dan Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 If taking him off with 5 mins to go shatters his confidence, then he is in the wrong profession. We were under the cosh at the end and needed to hold out for a point. Rhodes wasn't going to offer much at the end, we needed someone on to ensure we got a point and we did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in the last couple of seasons get on the end of these ‘nearly’ balls? You shouldn’t be trying pin point 40 yard passes where it’s hard to bring down and then finish and shake off a defender. You should be sliding passes through. Rhodes makes those runs time and time again. Nobody is good enough to give it him and we are barely high enough up the pitch to even try. Izzy Brown was a player I was looking forward to seeing because he spots those runs. Whether it’s injury or what but he can’t even get in the side. A chance created every 30 minutes for Luton, what’s he done for us? That’s not a criticism of him. It’s a slagging off of management, tactics and eye bleedingly dour football. He simply doesn't do that, the ball is around the area and he's no where to be seen, he just doesn't want the ball, you never see him screaming for the ball or berating a colleague for not getting it to him. He offers nothing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I think his fate was sealed when instead of challenging for the ball he just turned his back and let Danny Bahtt have free headers Pulis won’t stand for that 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Pulis clearly isn't going to make deicisions for the sake of not upseting a player, it's team first at all costs which is good to see. Rhodes needs to grow up if he's getting dejected by this. He's done bugger all to deserve his place in the team, over the past few years! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Pretty obvious why he was brought off. He wanted to keep Paterson on for the long throw in. A set piece is the only way we’ll score until Pulis has a chance to sign some forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did more than Paterson did, barely lost possession when he got the ball, won a few flick ons, makes runs in behind. Just absolutely shatter his confidence, very very poor management. Just like he did with wildsmith and dawson,with bringing westwood straight back,bad man management 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonstrix Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I’ve been one of the supporters who has constantly thought that if given a chance JR will ultimately deliver, but clearly TP has not been impressed by what he’s seen. Big shame that he felt it necessary to humiliate him like that but no doubt he will explain his reasoning. Presumably Rhodes will be on his way in January, releasing some much needed funds. Have to question now whether he’s bound for L1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAWAWUTO17 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Dont feel sorry for Rhodes at all. The lad is on about 30k per week and has scored around 10 goals in 3 years. Rhodes is done and has been for a long time. I'm more gutted we don't have Joao anymore. Another club is reaping the benefit of him maturing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Don’t even create chances for him to miss. But we need a striker who can do a bit more themselves. Seems all in the mind with JR, he had a decent start here scoring at home to birmingham and 2 or 3 vs Norwich but since the missed pen at Leeds he’s looked spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
