Gordopolis Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Only way to settle this is for Fletcher and Rhodes to have a fight - with tridents and nets and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 No one said he was shite but it's at a lower level so it doesn't really give an indication of whether he can lead the line v poland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Not sure we should even be discussing Rhodes vs Fletcher. Different types of forwards and ideally we'd select both for the squad. However, Re level: Fletcher is an EPL player, but a pretty poor one at the moment - neither playing regularly nor, when he does get on from the bench, looking remotely like he's going to trouble the opposition goal. Rhodes is playing as a lone striker at a lower level and still - despite Blackburn losing quality players in other parts on the park - he continues to deliver goals and assists at an impressive rate. So the level argument really is creaking at the seams at the moment.

RobbieD Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 To be fair, in the two full games I've seen Rhodes play this season (Fulham and QPR), he played up front in a 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoRaj Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 what level is fletcher playing and scoring regularly in just now? Came on at half time and led the line against man utd yesterday. Didn't score though I'd imagine if he was playing at a much lower level he would score a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 10-12 goal a season man when on form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher played 45 minutes against Man United yesterday - albeit 45 pretty terrible minutes. I bet you're one of the boys who's always screaming at the manager to get two up front and 'get it forward'. He is shite remember Literally nobody said this you thick fucking TA bumpkin.

covdoonhamer Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Wouldn't expect him to start vs Poland but if he isn't even in the squad then that's ridiuclous. Same goes for McCormack, not really sure what more they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for McCormack, not really sure what more they can do. So if you're demanding Rhodes and McCormack be in the squad, which two strikers are dropping out? I presume Martin and Griffiths, unless you're going completely mental and want either Fletcher or Naismith out. Rhodes will not start either game, and is about a 50/50 shot of getting into the squad at all. Which is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially it is between Martin, Rhodes and McCormack for the 4th strikers slot (though why not just pick a fifth striker?) WGS has a bit of a boner for Martin, so i can't see anything other than it being Fletcher, Naismith, Griffiths and Martin. Personally, I'd go for Fletcher, Naismith, Griffiths, Rhodes and McCormack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
