McRightSide Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I remember how people said he doesn’t score because he doesn’t get the service I also remember him missing quite a number of gilt edged chances Hopefully we can get a few goals out of him between now and the end of the season, but it seems unlikely.

WalthamOwl Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Would love him to bang in some more goals for us between now and the end of the season. Felt so happy for him and us the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goals per minute was pretty good at Norwich, ok at Wednesday. I have no idea about his second season at Middlesbrough. I like Rhodes as a player, I think he could be very useful for the club, however it's been a long time of not many games and not many goals. By all accounts a top bloke so I can only hope things work out well for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of quite a few reasons he's not got more game time during that period, Hooper, Fletcher and Pukki come to mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked enough for him for Norwich to ask after him later, even if it was a cheeky bid. If he can score the winning goals to keep us up, his sins might be forgiven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tight Arse Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Has COVID made his head swell? Jesus wept, surprised the ball didn't burst when he nutted it in against Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshfish Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 All part of the new 'selection' process. 'Must have massive heeds' Pretty sure someone has the photo of the new Rhodes with his 'head' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Racing certainty that he’ll start scoring goals regularly just as his contract his about to run out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s out of contract...we won’t be receiving a penny for him...wether he scores 1 or 21...it’s the clubs worse ever signing without a shadow of a doubt...one quality winner at Bournemouth dosnt change this factamondo..but at least I was there at forest when he scored a hat trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not impressed by Kachunga but having been key to two of our last 3 goals I’d think he and Rhodes the more likely pairing to be picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 @YesWeCrann Really good article. Your comparison with the superb and much-loved Fletcher is interesting. You include penalty goals, which always distorts any comparison of strikers. If you remove Fletcher’s six pens, and Rhodes’ one pen, the comparison of goals becomes surprisingly close. Fletcher goal every 265 mins Rhodes - goal every 314 mins In my opinion, after Hooper, Fletcher has been our best striker in a decade, and offered far more to the side than most strikers, including Rhodes. However, we all judge strikers largely on goals, and when you consider that Fletch scored the equivalent of a goal every 3 games, and Rhodes a goal every 3 and 1/2 games, it does question why we have been quite so damning of Rhodes.

It doesn't distort at all. Are you going to discount free kicks, or simple tap ins? Talk about moving the goalposts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about moving the goalposts. Not at all. Penalties should always be discounted for comparisons like @YesWeCrann As a non-Wednesday example, consider Rashford. Was he a better striker before Fernandez got the penalty role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to figure in that we wouldn't be in this mess\relegation battle , if it wasn't for our shambolic transfer policy & wasted millions. Jordons transfer being the worst, by a mile.
