Chumino 57 Posted December 14, 2019 All 3 were well taken good goals but the third was definitely the pick of the bunch. He looked sharp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,121 Posted December 14, 2019 Well it doesn’t look like Drmic is much of a stand-in for Pukki, we could do worse. Although if he is making a significant contribution for Wednesday, we won’t we able to afford him sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted December 14, 2019 When I saw the title, I was wondering what Jim Ross had to do with this thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanuts 150 Posted December 14, 2019 Funny bit of business really. The guy clearly wanted to stay and Wednesday didn't seem that keen to keep him so was surprising when a deal couldn't be done. Glad he's doing well. He'd have certainly offered us another option from the bench. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drmic and Srbeny 0 prem starts 1 goal each, we are covered but it would be good to see Rhodes back, possibly on a free? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,162 Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Perhaps we should have haggled a bit more intensely with Sheffield Wednesday over their excessive demands at the time. We wanted JR, JR wanted us, Wednesday wanted too much. When Drmic was signed thoughts of Rhodes at Carrow Road quickly disappeared in to the mist as we had after all signed a classy fairly highly rated international with a hint of the marquee about him, and surely his injury problems were behind him. That he has been somewhat of a let-down thus far is undeniable .... is he injured still/again? Perhaps he'll eventually come good and live up to expectations but is there possibly a hint of resignation among us that likely he will not with the likes of James Vaughan and even Matt Jarvis to remind us that the scenario is not new to the club? How much will Josip Drmic have cost us by the season's end and will it be money more badly invested than overpaying for Jordan Rhodes? I realise that Drmic came on a supposed free, but was there a hefty signing on fee and what level of wage does he claim whilst being sidelined? Am I being too premature, too harsh or do six appearances and one goal speak for themselves? I suppose he needs a bit longer to prove himself; it's just that the 'ever-up-for-it' Jordan Rhodes hitting the net today is a reminder of what we might be missing for when that game changing moment is needed, even though it's quite nice to see Dennis getting unexpectedly thrust in to the limelight. .

splendidrush 700 Posted December 14, 2019 He's out of contract at the end of the season I think, if we're relegated, we could do much worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted December 14, 2019 I noticed also that Jacob Murphy is now a colleague of JR’s, and only a sub at Sheff Weds - not sure if Josh played for Cardiff in today’s 3-0 loss to Leeds. Funny to think a couple of seasons ago the twins were heading for the Premier League, but now would no doubt absolutely kill to come back here again. Ben Marshall doesn’t even have a club now I saw today, what on earth happened to him that he couldn’t sign for a Championship club on a free this summer?! How our fortunes have all changed. Sorry, did I say 3-0 loss? I bet WACCOE is great value tonight 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddycanary 539 Posted December 15, 2019 Have to say I visualised Larry Hagman in the cowboy hat pouring a scotch in front of an exasperated Sue Ellen there! Then thought of Ruddy. Well done to Jordan Rhodes, he would have given a decent option this year, unlikely now, perhaps in the summer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 16, 2019 To be fair, it was a terrible ball to him from Hernandez, miles behind him. Yes, poor old Marco got a wee bit of stick for that but it was a poor contribution from Onel all round in that moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chumino 57 Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Onels pass was a bit off but I do think Marco left his shooting boots in the champs. Jr's goals on the other hand showed that instinct to change the game and offer somthing we don't have. He did it for us last season. Perfect hat trick, one with each foot and one on the nut.

East Rider 549 Posted December 16, 2019 If the toe injury to TP had been worse, he would have been the ideal replacement for many reasons. I would still have him here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
