Is it just me but I think we already have a made and ready wide man in the squad who can also defend in Rodman?
He got 5 goals last season after after some well documented personal problems off the field whilst not playing that many games last season. The season before he was a stand out player at Shrewsbury and these highlights show this at Grimsby and then Shrews in the 9 minutes
Some players need a run in the side to get some rhythm and confidence and I like the way he can defend as well like Monkhouse did. Against Wycombe we had so much ball down the right as well, Alex has got my vote for a run in the side.

Clough said they wanted to sign him, but they couldn't come close to our offer. So if that was true, he will be one of our top earners. Obviously there is a decent player there. Hopefully he can rediscover his Shrewsbury form. But so far, he's not been consistent enough, to be on that high a wage.

Agree. I would hope that any manager would say to themselves this player needs to have a run of 6/7 games in the team to build up rhythm or confidence and play them. Trouble is nowadays with all this social media stuff managers sometimes react and change game by game and are under pressure much quicker than they used to be and whilst they sometimes make a case for changing sometimes players just need a run in the team. I hope Rodman gets that chance as well. UTG!

I agree, I think he could play a big part for us this season. Isn’t it funny though whenever he played against us he ripped us apart, or maybe were just sh** anyway? 😁 Chuck him in I say!

Big big fan of Rodman. Think he is a very capable player both going forward and tracking back.
My only issue is our system keeps changing and I don't know if he's overly suited to playing narrow in a diamond midfield, I'd want him out wide either RM or RW.
Which means he's a bit limited to 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 in terms of formations.
I think need to settle on a formation and hopefully get him a run in the side, absolutely.

Is Rodders a player GC's trying to force out on loan as we've hardly seen him play this season? I'm sure there's a good player there somewhere but he's in and out of the side like a yoho.

For example, I thought he was poor and didn't seem to want to be there against Blackpool, I couldn't figure out why he kept ducking under the balls that Jaakkola was playing out to him and he didn't offer that much with the ball at his feet. Yet, when he is up for it, he seems a different player.

We seem to have a lot of players on our books who many describe as "there being a good player in there". Personally I just think Rodman, Nichols, Bennet and Upson are all water poor value for money. And that's just of the top of my head. DC lost the plot in his last 2 windows in my opinion.

We bemoan our lack of goal threat but he is one player that can chip in from midfield. Got 5 goals in the league last season despite missing a lot of it for whatever reason.
Good player in my opinion and as others have said, probably just needs a decent run in the side.

Hated him after his first game/one of his first games vs Shrewsbury. Never seen a player so blatantly lacking in effort.
However I have seen his quality since, he did have a really good spell not long after GC was appointed. He's just a typical winger though who is so in and out. If he's on it he's a bloody good player. An out and out wide man who can cause problems.

Agree about value for money, but I. seem to remember people being quite excited about the quality of signings at the time, as opposed to JCH who’s signing was met with little enthusiasm. Strange how things work out. I still think Bennett and Rodman could do a job for us ,but not sure they are in the managers long term plans.

He is not suited to the current formation imo. last season he looked a good player about 1 game in every 4 he played. Reckon GC would like to offload him.

Thought he started very well v Blackpool but then gradually became peripheral to the action and the play seemed to by-pass him, not sue if that was down to him or his team mates, is the sort of player who needs to be involved all the time, so for me its use him or lose him.
