Have you posted this in the right thread? For what it’s worth my opinion is goals win games, he’s scored some unbelievably important goals and helped us massively in being on a hot streak I could literally only of dreamed of just a few weeks ago. What’s not to like? Ok I will put meat on the fire He was playing on his own up front but he was totally dominated by the two centre halves , he hardly held the ball up all afternoon and failed to bring any other players into the game his first touch today was non league standard. I am not sure what he is to be honest, he is no forward or really a midfielder but is scoring a few goals so he is worth his place at the moment but he had a shocker today 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 He is not a back to goal striker like Fletcher or even Nuhiu. He wins nothing in the air when the ball is fired at him in this scenario. He has shown a remarkable knack of scoring when given the opportunity, I would imagine his goals per chance ratio is ridiculously high. ( Just what we thought Rhodes would be.) Add to that his hard work and versatility and he is a very good signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Reminds me of the comments that used to be made abpout a certain CF we had in the mid-50's. He was big, clumsy and used many parts of his body to score goals regularly. He became the legend Derek Dooley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WUGGAMONKEY1 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Goal aside, he was pretty poor today. In general I find him pretty poor and limited, but he has a knack of getting a goal. He also work extremely hard. I just can’t work it out! Probably what we need for the scrap ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man knows how to score and that’s good enough for me. **Disclaimer - the goals were scored in the Scottish leagues** He was 2 stone lighter here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash77 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 With reach on left and decent crosses he will score more than his fair share. With reach on right and poor crosses, he wont, imo. Wouldnt do him any harm with a pacy striker next to him either, solid team player at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Too often isolated on his own up front, would do better with more support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I like having him in the side despite his obvious flaws but there is one thing I hate. Ball is launched forward towards Paterson and he makes the effort to put the yards in but then just stands facing our goal and leans his bum into the defender. Doesn't even try to win the header. I wouldn't mind so much if he occasionally held the ball up by letting it bounce off him but it never, ever works. Defender just heads it or let's the ball go past him.

Steve Down South Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Every time I think he’s having a shocker he scores a goal! Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Proven player at this level. Said at the time when we signed him, after having seen a lot of him for Cardiff, that he was a smart signing that would win over the fans. He's on his way already to becoming a cult hero for us like he was at Hearts and Cardiff. A likable person and likable player, unfairly underappreciated but in short time he's proving to be one of our key players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me goals are goals. He’s scoring them, and he’s scoring for us. He plays with heart. He’s unconventional and sometimes that gives you an edge. If he is going to score even if he’s having a ‘shocker’ then even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 He works very hard his positional play is very good and he is quick thinking. He can get good height when challenging for aerial balls. He upsets their defenders with his robust style. He knows how to find back of net. His first touch is not always the best and his passing is not a strength if these were good he would be worth a small fortune and would be playing in PL. He has been good acquisition and we have needed his like for a while a hard working mobile rough n 'tumble striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
