Is this the right room for an argument?
Did you pay for 5 minutes, or the full half hour?

So, which bit of the post you quoted is incorrect? I never denied Rhodes scored an important goal...  Enjoy yersen, in everything you do. Pointless. So basically you can't answer 👍 I can back up any of my opinions with reasons for having those opinions. Unlike you. |

You type some waffle you lad... To be fair, it isn't waffle is it? Do you think he should have been brought back? Do you think he has been the same player he was? He can't answer that, just one of a long list of people who want to have a go. |

He lost all respect I had for him with the way he left the club. You really are very unpleasant in your remarks You're alright with him threatening to go on strike if he didn't get his move then? |

No he wasn't the same player as first time around but I wouldn't say he's been a bad one second time around, just a different one.
His hold up play has generally been decent and he never gave us less than 100%.

His hold up play has generally been decent and he never gave us less than 100%. He was excellent in the Middlesbrough away game under Corberan. The best game I saw him play in a pretty unforgettable spell for me. First spell however, no-one matches him. |

I think he showed he's still the best natural finisher in the squad but as NW suggested we didn't play in a way to benefit him Agree completely. In the away game at Middlesbrough, when we won 2-0, he scored a typical Rhodes goal for the second, and actually laid on the first goal with his head, for Sarr to head in. A game where I saw the Jordan of old, but I'll agree, they're rare these days, and his style doesn't suit a lot of modern teams styles. I wish the lad all the best, served Town very well over the years, and I'll remember that game at Boro for a long while. I'd never actually seen us win there, but did see the 1-1 draw, 29th March I believe, that confirmed promotion in 1970. I was 17, went on an organised coach, and it was like a trip to hell, what with all the gas being burnt off, the old pennies chucked at us etc etc. Hoy scored for us, Hickton for them from the penalty spot, and I've looked none of that up. So take it easy if I'm wrong on anything. PS. I have looked the date up in the past, but it's stuck since then. ( NOT very well, because having checked, it was the 31st March. Next match was Blackburn away, where Town confirmed the title with another win, 3-1 I think, but could have been 2-1. I wasn't there, just glad we'd made it.) I was also at the Middlesbrough game in 1970 and if my memory is correct Steve Smith scored the goal for Town. |

Still a great finisher but Neil doesn't seem to like him
Feed the Rhodes and he will score...his pace may not be there but he's ten times a better finisher than ward

Great striker but not up to the Championship now as a lone frontman, so best we part ways. |

Did see us win at Boro in about 1985 or so when Joey Jones scored the only goal in the fog. |

One great performance and a few goals. If JR is/was the answer I don’t know what the question is |

Good. Should never have been brought back as he hasn't been the same player for years now. Moron . Key part in getting us to the playoff final with crucial goals v Boro and Luton whilst being the only striker available. Scored some vital goals this season too like the winners v Cardiff , Rotherham and Preston. Jordan is a club legend and deserves a bit more respect for it. Completely OTT. Sharing his opinion doesn’t make him a “moron”. Hate this forum sometimes. |

He's a better finisher, but Ward is better at the lone striker role. Rhodes needs to play in a partnership to get the best out of him. Its a myth that Rhodes can't play the lone striker role as he proved when he started games last season. He has it in him but he doesn’t show it enough. I would say 1 out of every 7 or 8 games hes looked decent but the rest of the time, slow, beaten in the air every time, immobile, poor touch, anonymous. He would do well from a football pov to drop to league one with a team that play with 2 up front. |

As soon as it was announced that Ward had signed a new contract (and TBH even before that) it was always likely that Rhodes would be leaving. That makes sense. Replacing with Mark Harris would be a head scratcher though. A striker that has averaged less than 1 in 10, never managed more than 4 goals in a season, doesn't appear to have any outstanding qualities beyond work rate and is widely regarded as being Lg2 level by Cardiff fans. A poor man's Martyn Waghorn? Mark Harris also known as a player we haven’t signed so why the head scratch?! 🤷♂️ |

He was doing the meet and great at one of the first matches after Warnock's return. Someone asked him if he was looking forward to working under him for the first time? Gave a typically polite but very guarded answer. |

Scored some vital goals this season too like the winners v Cardiff , Rotherham and Preston. Jordan is a club legend and deserves a bit more respect for it. No need for the moron part. He has come up with 1 or 2 valuable goals, but overall, he hasn't been good enough. Sentiment with our fan base is bizarre. Rhodes has been a good servant and always given his best, but in hindsight, he shouldn't have been brought back. Anyone who thinks any different, seemingly doesn't or didn't want the club to progress. I hope he finds a club in Lg1 where they play 2 up top and he can enjoy scoring goals. Unfortunately, he is in a band of players who got brought back from lazy scouting and werent good enough. |

Rhodes in hindsight shouldn't have been brought back. Not the lads fault by any means and always gave 100%. Obviously not the player he was.
Will always be a legend imo.
Great player in his first spell. Lovely lad to chat to and wish him all the best for the future.
