Weird way of looking at it. He’s scored 9 away goals in that time. Put him on the field and he’ll score. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy for him but let’s not turn this into another thread where people say other managers ‘didn’t play him right’ and ruined him. 2 goals. Hopefully the start of many but history hasn’t been erased. Well done tonight Jordan. Edited February 9, 2021 by T Hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking about this regarding strikers getting fouled. And first thing I think about is when we had Nuhiu playing up top and all the times he would get fouled but the refs always gave the opposition the decision and the ball. At least now when Rhodes gets fouled, we get the chance 9 times out of 10 to move up the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you choose to focus on that one season 3 years ago. Why? Really odd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBilde'sTea Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I never thought I'd say this but he has to start now. And I'm eating my words about Hutch too, I thought he was spent bit hes added so much steel back into the side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite ironic as you’ve decided he’s now great for us on the back of two games when I’m looking at his entire time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, if he keeps us up he will repay a huge chunk of that fee. Spot on. play him from the start 10 games in a row (without subbing him after 60 mins) and he gets 4 to 5 goals. Strikers get confidence in numerous ways. Not getting picked or being continually subbed doesn’t do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the mistake been the player, or how he has been played or managed? I humbly suggest the latter. I full expect pelters, but I still believe what I say to be true. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T Hardy Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Please don’t pretend it’s been a scandal all along that Rhodes has never been allowed to show us this. I trust the judgment of a number of managers who didn’t trust him. You look a bit silly if you think 2 goals means all those managers were wrong. I don’t wish to say anything further about Rhodes that could be deemed negative, I’m very happy for him tonight and I hope he continues scoring.

His recent history as a striker is superb (goal every 160 this season, goal every 200). But keep harping back to 16/17 and 17/18 by all means. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes is just the right size to attract a challenge, but is both smart enough And lightweight enough to bounce off the opposition and win the free kick.

Salmonbones Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Rhodes doesn't get played regularly, he doesn't score - he gets played, he scores 2 in 2 and gets abuse - go figure!!! Some "Fans" don't deserve the term to be quite honest. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s shown much aggression or hunger to get onto things in the past and that’s cost him. But whilst he has the bit between his teeth and we are getting balls in the box him and Paterson will get goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakefield owl Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Encouraging recent performances but we shouldn’t get carried away. We were playing the weakest team in the Championship and, yes, he scored but there were still a couple of reminders about where his game is now ie a couple of times he failed to control the ball in a very good position. The Rhodes of 5 years ago may well have scored an hat trick tonight but we must take him as he is now and let’s hope he keeps getting his chance and keeps scoring.

Oh yeah I forgot about all the goals and success he’s achieved for us since 2018. It’s almost funny what happens to some of our fans after Rhodes scores a goal. I find out that we’ve had this hidden weapon for years that we haven’t used properly and can never work out why you’re right and all our managers were wrong.
