Rhodes fitness

[zico_bamber]

Hoping we look after Rhodes so we can see the best of him. Last night I felt he seemed to struggle with the pace of the game a bit - obviously a natural finisher but last couple of matches, he's looked a bit leggy for me and not sharp. He's not blessed with pace but I wonder if we're over playing him. Maybe get 60 mins from him and give Lavs 30 perhaps.

He was doing it all himself last night, if he had had KK alongside him he would have had an easier ride. I think his fitness will hold up okay but he has to play with a big man alongside him.

Last night he WAS the big man. Not his game at all.

Ditch the Critch ASAP

You keep repeating this on many threads .

It’s not going to happen anytime soon.

Simon likes him. Trusts him. He won promotion for him.

Unless we get into serious trouble and are staring relegation in the face he won’t ditch him imo.

This season we will finish top half of the table minimum

Critch is going nowhere .

You can keep bleating on as much as you want but this is the reality .

Critchley won’t do him any favours playing him as a lone striker. He needs to play off someone.

He's entitled to his opinion, but like a friend of mine always says, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and sometimes they are full of shit

I don’t think Sadler will regard just “top half of the table” as success. He might give Critchley another season after that, but will be looking for a replacement, I suspect.

Strange how Rhodes plays almost every game for 90 mins, but a 20 year old is rested after 2 x 60mins?

I shake my head when some say we've a "great" squad.
If we did we wouldn't be missing our injured players so much.
Bees isn't up to it imo
Lavs is injury prone and as we've seen in the past it takes him ages to get confidence and match fitness back.
We've yet to see exactly what Joseph offers but is desperately needed as Rhodes and Kouassi can't do it all on their own.
Even with the addition of Rhodes at the start of the season we are still desperately light up front

Rhodes may be injury free, where the 20 year old may be carrying an injury!
Ever thought of that?

He will ditch him just after new year then because we will be staring at relegation the rot is setting in. Might as well sack Neil now and appoint Steve McMahon

Can’t see it .

We are at least mid table this season.

Think? on these forums?
That'd be a novelty
