I think Rodriguez should have scored a few more but 10 in 21 games is very good. Yes 4 of them have been penalties but so what he still has to score them. I bet Afobe, Rhodes and Adams(?) wish they all had an extra goal in their scoring rates when they missed against us.
The way people talk about it you'd think all penalties are scored when in fact this season in the Championship 59 penalties have been awarded and 43 of them scored which is a 72.8% success rate.
Personally I'd be gutted if we let Rodriguez go in January as he offers plenty to the team apart from just goals. Also that would leave us one striker short so we'd have to get a replacement in, as well as a CM and possibly a RB.
Thanks, I've got that ta. The point was I think he should have converted more from open play given the quality of chances which have fallen his way, I really do. The start of your opening line "I think Rodriguez should have scored a few more....." alludes to us being in agreement there.
I only care what the forwards of other clubs do in regard to how it affects us, and so in that case I'm quite glad if they leave their shooting boots at home. But then I wasn't comparing him to others as I'm only concerned about his return for us. I appreciate there is more to Jay's game than goals (two assists and a lot of movement and running) and I haven't called for him to he be sold. I've just acknowledged that his goal return could be better, as have you.
If we sold him then frankly I'd be amazed were we to then part with much cash to bring in a replacement not to mention the reinforcements required elsewhere. And I repeat for anyone who is in doubt ('59
), I am not scapegoating him. I've just given an honest point of view regarding his return in proportion to the amount of decent chances which have been presented to him.
