Goal disallowed for Rhodes. Good finish

I've had a couple of quid on Rhodes to score and Boro to win and it looks like it should've counted!

[Blue Cabbage]

Should've stood. Ball was dead on the by-line. Leeds look pretty toothless but prepared to take it to Boro

[den]

Rhodes starts for Boro tonight against Dirty Leeds. I'm intrigued to see how he fares in a good side.

You expecting he'll turn into Messi?

Not particularly den, more seeing how he does within a good team / side. His abilities or lack of will remain, has a good 3 behind him with an eye for a pass or a bit of pace.

. Thanks for the civil reply.

No worries.

Without getting into a debate about him, he's a Boro player now and we've to get to summer to see what it brings.

Only watched him a few times before he moved to Rovers and his game hasn't come on in the slightest. However, with the right service / system he can and will thrive

How has Rhodes played with Downing, Raminez and Stauni?

Not really linked up with anyone to be honest, not seen enough of Boro to comment on if they're playing any differently to pre-Rhodes.

They need to get Nugent on up front alongside him. Rhodes totally isolated atm and doing nowt. Same old story.

[Blue Cabbage]

He's just not an "outball" in the slightest. Everything forward either on the floor or in the air comes straight back.

Very familiar

Nugent and Adomah on, Rhodes still on the field

[Blue Cabbage]

Great save from Dimi.

Rhodes up the other end fires straight at keeper

[G Somerset Rover]

Poor effort there from Rhodes. Did the hard work and then shot a tame effort right at the goalkeeper.

[Blue Cabbage]

Rhodes puts a header wide from 6 yards although decent keeping to put him off

[donnermeat]

He wimped out

[Blue Cabbage]

He wimped out

He did, easy target for a lot of centre halves

[danger19_80]

Danny Graham would have buried that

[tomphil]

Maybe it's time for a thread titled 'Rhodes watch' so the chief mud slingers can fire away on a regular basis.

[Blue Cabbage]

Boro down to 10 Rhodes sacrificed for a defender.

Played how he usually does. The odd half chance but didn't really link up with anyone.

Bridcutt for Leeds has been really good. Snappy in the tackle with a decent range of passing

[LDRover]

Not sure we'll be getting the extra 2 million at the end of the season on that showing.

He can't play in a 4-4-2, he's too static.

[whatdial]

Rich mans Gary hooper is rhodes!

[Ribble Rover]

Boro fans will be wondering why the hell they spent all this time chasing him.

[koi]

At least he's getting the chances! He'll start notching but still don't see a PL striker.
