Unlike Rhodes who always had a hip injury. “Well healed” He only bought the buggers Satdi ! Where can I get a pair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could possibly explain why JR never got a run in the side under any manager and AR made shadowy(ish) exit. Be interesting to see what happens at Huddersfield. Not surprising Wednesday getting fleeced, Rhodes was never going to be a hero with us, anyone who knows football knows that, crazy signing.

CalmJimmers Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 If his hip is done how did he play so many games for us? And why have Huddersfield taken him on? And why did Norwich loan him? Genuine questions as I'd guess it'd explain him being crap after Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I’m just going to blame the fans for Jordan Rhodes, Andy Rhodes and Greek Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday_Jack Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Let’s be honest…we haven’t had a decent medical/physio team since the club got rid of Paul Smith and replaced them with the Portuguese mob. every chance we’ve signed Rhodes as a crock…done similar with plenty of players in fairness.

His jumping for challenges in the air was also pretty bad. It was especially depressing seeing him come on as a sub, as he had no impact at all as the defence we were up against just pushed a high line when he came on - the opposite of what we needed when chasing a game. Probably because he was a sulking pile of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I’d bet most of you who despise Rhodes were secretly relieved on Sunday when he was named on the bench. Who do you think Moore and our CBs wanted to play against - Rhodes or Ward? Who do you think oppo managers and defenders wanted to play against last season - Rhodes or Paterson, Windass, Marriott? They’d be p-ssing themselves laughing seeing Paterson or Marriott trot out to play CF with Rhodes sat in the stand with his trackie on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hip problem affects his mobility, it doesn't stop him running altogether, lots of strikers lose that yard of pace as their careers progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
