Popular Post jrh Posted February 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2021 That's a classic Jordan Rhodes 'chance' in the team. Two starts - one in which he scored and one where he was dragged off at 60 mins after we didn't play with any attacking tactics yet he still looked the most likely to score. Really is ridiculous. Our best performances have all come when he has been involved yet here we are again. Paterson got 10 games of being rubbish before he started to show anything and still in my opinion doesn't offer as much as Rhodes. 25 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to the lad he shouldn’t have been subbed in the last game. If he’s fit he should have started today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gob_Bluth Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Maybe theres a reason. Maybe he's got a slight knock, maybe the game plan is for Windass to tire the defence and bring Rhodes on to finish them off. Maybe he's not looked as sharp in training Edited February 20, 2021 by Gob_Bluth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marro Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 When will the coach realise that goals win games. Stop the negative play, don’t start JP and ******* attack attack attack attack........ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 He needs a run of games to build form and confidence, was he at any other team in our league that would happen. Bannan has just 4 assist and 2 penalties in 28 appearances and not score a goal in open play for 42 games he's playing today, Reach has scored 2 goals in 12 games but he starts, Windass not scored for 11 games but he plays. Rhodes not scored for 1 game he gets dropped. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew6666 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Always been the case with Rhodes, he pays the price for us not scoring. Madness. Give him a run of games. Others have been worse and don't get dropped, ever. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, you’re right, there will be a reason and it will be a legitimate one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sefton owl Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 It’s embarrassing... yeah he’s on stupid wages but I genuinely Feel so sorry for him. It’s exactly why he doesn’t score as many as what he should have done over the last 4 seasons. Has a couple of games where he doesn’t score then gets benched. Joke. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 There's an awful lot of jumping up in outrage without a blind bit of knowledge as to if there is a why. Maybe he's had food poisoning and missed the last few days of training. Maybe he's tired. Maybe he's picked up a knock. Maybe we're seeing a formation change to one striker. Maybe he's been unfairly dropped after being substituted after an hour after the last game after we didn't really attack. I understand why everyone has jumped on that final option, because we can only comment on what we've seen... and as far as I know no Owlstalk members are privy to training or the Rhodes household so it's natural that some conclusion jumping is made... but I'm surprised that there is such confidence behind the conclusion jumping.
