He hit a decent run of form, got injured long term, then during that injury spell turned into a world beater. Curtin Main. Lots of people thought he was the solution to our goal scoring problems...

TeaCider24 12,401 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I think Rhodes is a good example to be honest. So many of our fans in the Premier League season were adamant the solution to our goalscoring problem was playing 2 strikers and Jordan Rhodes. His complete anonymity in football since then, years after leaving us, makes me doubt it would actually have worked. Link to post Share on other sites

Rhodes was shocking, one of the worst strikers we’ve had, even worse than the Juke and that’s saying something. Link to post Share on other sites

GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Rhodes is the obvious example of our failings in the recruitment model. He was never the striker for a Karanka team. We were oblivious to how teams set up get the best out of Rhodes. I think we were blinded by his stats. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

His 6 goals directly correlated to 5 points we wouldn't have otherwise had, which we needed to get automatic promotion instead of playoffs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,401 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm guessing it's based on the 20 minutes down to 10 men, but I'm shocked that a Norwich defender got in the team of the week ahead of Fry or Fisher. Link to post Share on other sites

Barnaby 954 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I shouldn't be surprised by this match, as we have Previous on doing a "Job" on another team...In 1997 Boro had to play Liverpool in a cup Semi...You were never going to Man mark both Owen & Fowler who were on fire...Bryan Robson our manager pin pointed Steve Mcmanaman as the one, to stop the supply of crosses to these two...Robbo had a young lad called Baker, man mark Mcmanaman so effectively Mcmanaman hardly saw the ball...Boro went on to win the match 2-1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
