We have to pay them just the same if he's sat on the bench. Typically stupid comment I expect on here. As OP said. Scored, covered back well and drew fouls on the way forward giving us possession and relieving pressure. We had one attack after he had gone off where we actually put a good cross in but nobody was in there to meet it. All that matters is which players are most likely to keep us up. Him, Westwood and Hutch are key whether people like it or not. History is irrelevant the next 11 games aren't. You're the third person I've seen mention that Rhodes 'drew fouls' in yesterday's game, as if it was a major aspect of his game. How many times do you think he was fouled yesterday?

Plus he looked absolutely done in by half time and he was done within 10 minutes of the restart. Cracking touch and finish for the goal though. He's never been a lone striker though. And keeping him on for next season in league one would be utter madness considering his wages. One of the worst value signing's in the clubs history. Also, don't buy the if he'd played more games he'd have score more goals diatribe either. Not a single manager in the past 6 seasons has fully believed in him to be the key striker. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF he did....but i dont see the one up front as either attractive football(didnt Chansiri say he wanted 2 up front?) Neither Patterson or Windass,are not a natural no 9,and simply dont have the instincts to score the goals we need. Centre forwards need the three up front to get the service they need,and the crosses into the box they thrive on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all broke a bit yesterday, seeing as he scored playing as a lone striker. They’ve been banging on for months that he needs to play up front with someone, which explains the delay in “the look he just needs the service” thread that usually instantly follows every goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a decent job though yesterday, and as I posted before, maybe he’s starting to get to grips with what’s required of a modern day forward. It’s ironic that for the duration of his time here, he’s failed to adapt, but finally as the penny might be dropping, he will walk away for free and another club may benefit from his, finally seeing the light. It’s not going to happen, but he would be extremely useful to us next season in League One. The reality is, he owes us big time Yes that's about the long and short of it.

Stats about minutes per goal are so misleading too. Victor Anichebe has one of the best minutes per goal ratio in Premier League history. I’ll just be so happy if we stay up. I’d love for Rhodes to play a key part in that. You get the feeling that some fans will be even happier about “been proven right” about Rhodes if that happens, but even if he was to do that, it wouldn’t take away that he’s been a massive disappointment as an Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What relevence (even if correct)would that have on the decisions of the 'other' managers not to pick him?..plain ridiculous to still bring up GM...and without Windass & Pattersons goals where would we have been? They are attacking midfielders,not forwards..not their fault they have had to lead the line,sometimes as a lone striker....A striker wasnt brought in,either pre season,or in the Jan transfer window...GM again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I'm glad Rhodes has hit form; simply because he owes us some goals big time. Edited March 15, 2021 by shandypants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in the last 6 years not a single manager has believed in him, you said 'all had failed' which isn't true, it's not just here he's failed to be given the chance. But as said, he was absolutely shot within 10 minutes of the restart yesterday. Clinging on to the hope that he's the answer to our goals problems is futile. He's been a poor player and waste of money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
