blueandwhitematt Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 You can see why Thompson's recalled Windass today. In the press conferences he said we're expecting Birmingham to come and put men behind the ball. So he's probably hedging his bets that Windass' greater pace and mobility might be able to move the defence around some more and create more opportunities, than Rhodes who obviously is a bit more static and would be more at risk of being swamped by the defenders outnumbering him. I'd probably have kept Rhodes in myself, but can at least make a case for what he's trying today, I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give up If we're mostly playing it on the deck and looking to get in behind, then it makes sense. If we're going to lump crosses into the box and hope to nick one, then Rhodes would have been a better bet. Paterson and Rhodes were probably the wrong pairing to line up against an aerially strong Stoke defence; let's just hope we've not suffered a 'worst of both worlds' scenario by backing the wrong pairing again today.

S1Owl Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Reach has been lazy lately although he's capable of a goal and can be class, hope we don't miss him, would be the wednesday way though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has scored a couple of very important goals, poor decision to drop him. Edited February 20, 2021 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Man Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 More surprising for me is that Uroghide has been dropped. He was best player on the pitch in the last game. Looked a beast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 It almost feels like Rhodes is expected to do twice the work of every other striker at the club. He’s scored 2 in 4? Not bad that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I’m assuming the team selection will make more sense when we kick off and see how we see setting up. I think Reach needed to be left out. He’s been overplayed IMO and a bit like Harris a game or two on the bench will hopefully look like good man management in a couple of weeks time. Windas for Rhodes? Again can only make sense if we are trying something different today from getting up the flanks and crossing. Truth is all our options are a bid mediocre so it’s not like these changes make the differences you might hope. Im still going for a 1-0. Paterson’s buttocks to get a goal in the 80th min.

Eastern Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 What we be lovely would be to be 5-0 up at half time. I know it is not going to happen, but would love to listen to the second half completely relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 No One is dropped everything is done with purpose (with one exception) Rhodes will benefit with a late entry, Windas has the legs on him and Reach will join as an impact player. I think we will prosper with a hope we will break them in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imre Varadi's Conker Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 We're going to win today. I'm so excited just thinking about it. It will be a really magnificent performance. I'm going for 1-0 but it could be another score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 It could be a back four for #SWFC this afternoon. Lee Bullen is putting Palmer, Lees, Dunkley and Penney through their paces in the warm-up. Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
