areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Recently, we've looked more coherent in attack when Rhodes and Windass are playing, even if Windass is withdrawn into midfield. To my eyes, Paterson looks quite erratic and doesn't easily dovetail with those around him. He has his uses, but in games where we're not looking to scrap and battle too much, he can look a little peripheral. Moore's set us up really well today to get the best out of our attackers by exploiting Barsnley's high line, allowing us to get in behind and create gilt-edged chances for Rhodes on a couple of occasions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

should know better Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 1 hour ago, Westfield Owl said: When you take into account the ripoff transfer fee we paid for the player in 2017, the signing-on fee, eye-watering wages, appearance bonuses, etc... I wonder if we’re at a stage now where Rhodesy’s goal-contributions are costing us less than £1,000,000 per goal. I’m pleased for the guy. But as a SWFC fan, I deeply wish we’d never signed him. And I can’t wait until he’s no longer our player. If we had Aguero we would struggle to score with our poor supply, when Winnall came it was Hourihanne who made him a 1 in 2 striker, he comes to us and he is no good. Winnall on loan at Derby was better. If only we had a class midfielder like him but we bought the wrong player. Same applies with Lucas scores for reading but gets far better service, not long fight the centre half for it balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6 owl Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Get the ball in the box and he will score goals it's just a shame it's took 4 years and for us to be all but relegated to realise it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was supposed to be where he made the difference, and he hasn't done. But he's doing that now and is clearly the best option we currently have up front. You have to wonder what managers have been thinking when preferring Kachunga, Marriott and even Reach this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) 16/17 - 14 starts 3 goals. Not fantastic but considering the wealth of options we had upfront... 17/18 -17 starts 5 goals. In the squad for 43 of those games. Hardly given a fair chance that season was he? 18/19 - 9 starts 6 goals. For promotion winning Norwich. 27 appearances off the bench. Kept out by Pukki who was in sensational form. 19/20 - 7 starts 3 goals. Monk just didn’t give him a chance last season whatsoever. 20/21 - 9 starts 6 goals. Not bad at all. Could he have offered more? Yes probably. But if you actually look back at his goals to game ratio it’s not actually that bad. He’s had so many 10/15 minute cameos which are completely unfair to judge him on in my opinion. Edited March 20, 2021 by SallyCinnamon 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many players seem to do this its like they need to put themself in the shop window.. He can’t score from the stands mate. Don’t blame Rhodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indoor Owl Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Grandad said: WEVE NOT PLAYED HIM He's played plenty. And he scores fewer per minute than even Atdhe did, along with fewer goals than literally every other striker we've had at the club. Including, I suspect, Paterson, if you were to only include the matches he's played up top as a forward for. I'm pleased he's scored a few goals now that we're doomed to relegation, but the revisionism of Jordan Rhodes, not played and unfairly treated doesn't hold up to scrutiny, at all. Let's keep some perspective. Edited March 20, 2021 by Indoor Owl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
