He’s a striker who used to play for Blackpool, scored 15 goals in 20 appearances for them, available on a free.

I mean stranger things have happened than letting a player go out of contract only to re sign them on a brand new deal…..I’ll point to Josh Ruffels.

Was that a Cartwright masterstroke, or a Warnock one? I'll admit that when he left I expected a new centre forward signing through the door within a few hours. 24hrs at the most. But I was of the understanding that Colin didn't rate him and that's why he was moved on. Colin decided that Hudlin & Harratt were a better bet. |

I refuse to believe that Warnock was happy going into a season with a strikeforce of Danny Ward, Kian Harratt and Kyle Hudlin. |

Been poor for his 3 years since rejoining.
When will people just let it go?
Has done absolutely nothing to warrant staying. Releasing was the best thing.

Yes, he wanted a striker, but he seemed happy to let Rhodes go without a replacement. It did seem to me that JR was expected to be behind KH & KH in his pecking order. |

I imagine it was to free up wages, similar to why Holmes was let go. I just can't accept that Warnock was happy with Ward, Hudlin and Harratt as his strikers. No chance. He kept saying that we needed reinforcements and even suggested that he needed a better option than Ward. (Which we did need). He was annoyed that he wasn't able to sign many of his targets, hence the outburst in the press conference. |

Same here, shouldn't have gone before a replacement was nailed on. Schoolboy error. Also had the chance to recall in Jan, didn't, probably due to being in denial and unable to admit his mistake, same as we've seen in his press conferences where he blames every other fker except himself. Deluded. So we had the giraffe and Harrat pre Jan and an injured Healey post Jan plus a young lad from Finland with no experience in the league. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that was yet another idiotic decision. |

Rhodes was back at Town due to injury, don’t think he’s scored since Nov, didn’t take a genius to work out Rhodes was as slow as a Blackpool donkey, hadn’t been a Championship striker for 2/3 years. |

Even if Healey, Balker and Radulovic all become brilliant next season, it has to go down as a failure because we went down with none of them (for various reasons) pulling up any trees. But just as we didn't let Bilo* go until Maxwell had signed on the dotted line, we should not have let Rhodes go unless a replacement was in the building either. * And Bilo should have only been on loan |

Too right, I'm very nostalgic for us not having a striker who could score 15 goals in 20 games and keep us up. He could have scored just 5 and kept us up. Yet another shocking decision by the tinpots in charge.

If you're playing that game, then he'd have got injured months before the season finished anyway so would have been little point in keeping him. |

He's played just four games since Christmas and in these games, conceded 12 goals. Yes, but he's only 21 now. He was good enough to be first choice keeper for a while at a top end Lg1 club before losing his place. He has potential to go on and be a very good keeper. Plus, if we are to lose Nicholls this summer (as seems likely), having Bilo and Chapman pushing Maxwell for his place would still represent a pretty strong GK department for Lg1 imo. |

Don't let those facts get in the way of defending your mate Cartwright though. Zzzzzzz |

Zzzzzzz Nothing to do with Cartwright , Warnock didn’t want him, hardly played him at the end of the 22/23 season and had no intention of using this last season, as you say don’t let facts get in the way, it’s down to Warnock, Zzzzz. |

Rhodes was never fast.
Rhodes scores goals.
The rest is just bullshit. The way our fans disrespect one of our greatest strikers is weird.

I don't think there's any doubt that during his first spell he was one of our greatest strikers, he's certainly the best I've seen. However, there's also no doubt that he's flattered to deceive in his second spell and bringing him back didn't have the desired effect. He's scored 10 goals in 64 games (having scored 87 in 148 in his first spell) and was generally past his best at Championship level when he signed. Before arriving here, he hadn't hit double figures for five years and in that time, had played 141 games and scored 29 goals. It is possible to distinguish between someone's first and someone's second spell and be objective about both spells. Some people will tell you that Mally Brown was fantastic in his first spell at Town, but was poor in his second spell. Is that disrespecting Mally Brown? Or is it just being truthful about both his spells at the club? |

Doesn't take a genius to figure out that was yet another idiotic decision. They didn't recall him because we signed two strikers in January. Plus, he didn't score after that and spent the last few months injured. So it's would have been pointless recalling him. He's barely scored goals in the Championship for nearly 10 years, so why would that have changed? |
