Savage Henry Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Watching the hull game snodgrass doesn't even get a game for them He's been out for more than a year. He's not been back that long. He won't be starting every game at this point. But I'm sure you know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I remember when he was first involved in Scotland set up that he looked comfortable straight away.When he scored that goal vs Iceland in 2009, I hoped he'd become an alternative to McFadden (who was unbroken back then) as the certainly had that matchwinner quality in his game. Tbf tho we've done little right since 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 He starts almost every week And he scored Hull's winner tonight with an absolute peach of a free kick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberDon Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Rhodes scores a double to win the game for Middlesbrough - 4 points clear now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 FWIW... Steven Fletcher in EPL for one of the worst sides - Goal every 253 minutes Jordan Rhodes in the division below for one of the most dominant sides - Goal every 225 minutes What are their respective records like over the last 5 years? Do these records justify one being picked every game without fail and one being completely frozen out by the manager? Are we really doing so well with this system? Are we really in a position to discard a player like Rhodes? On basis of the last campaign where aside from Gibraltar we could only scrape two one nil wins against roi n Georgia I'd say we aren't. ....but if you think that all is well with the current Scotland setup fair dos.

Burnie_man Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 We need goals, Rhodes scores goals, he should be involved in the two end of season friendlies if not involved in the play-offs. However, I predict it will be Fletcher........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 El Baktaoui has been here for just under four years - another year and we could get him a passport. Failing that, have some Lochgelly granny lay claim to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppino Impastato Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Let's just fill the squad with strikers that aren't good enough. nah I've got a better idea lett'sspend yyears ignoring ones that are whilst not qualifying for anything due to an inability to score goals. that's a good idea eh you absolute bell chief.

Deeboy Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The best idea I have for you, Peppino, is to learn to type properly. Once you master that, we can discuss why we shouldn't be calling up certain players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Rumours that Griffiths will be played out wide next season with dembele as Celtics main striker. Shame if true. A step back to where he was when deilia came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I can't see Griffiths ever being good enough to lead the line for Scotland I can't either tbh but this certainly doesn't help his chances. ETA: I don't think he'll make it as a lone striker for Scotland, but with a supporting forward, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny131 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Be interesting to see strachan stance now fletcher is in championship and Rhodes the prem.

I also think Rhodes wold turn him down and I would not blame him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Rhodes wold turn him down and I would not blame him Rhodes does not appear to suit our "backs to the wall" style, which requires a striker to play with back to goal most of the night & try to link play.Unless he has improved his hold-up play significantly, I would imagine a place on the bench may still be best he will get.Mind you, Strachan is hardly consistent in his rational for playing (or not playing) someone these days, unless they are one of his trusted souls.

Guest DAVIDB69 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I would blame Rhodes if he turned down Scotland, but he's a proud Scot, a decent guy, and it wont happen. Everything will carry on just the same nothing will change,Rhodes immediate concern would be getting in the middlesboro side as I think they are bringing in a striker from Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
