The ninth goal of the season was scored by Jordan Rhodes in Blackpool’s 3-2 triumph over Cheltenham Town at Bloomfield Road.
The 33-year-old, who is presently on loan from Huddersfield Town, responded fast to get his head on an Albie Morgan deflected free kick, leaving the Robins goalkeeper caught off guard. After Rhodes’ remarkable debut in Tangerine, Seasiders manager Neil Critchley thinks his team can learn a lot from him. He declared, “His brain is two steps beyond anyone else.” “He’s scoring in every game, and has an unbelievable record.
He seems to be having a great time right now; I don’t think he’s played football this much in a long time. He takes great care of his body and is quite professional. “His goal against Cheltenham just serves to highlight his brilliance.” “He is constantly anticipating and considering the end result. His body is always facing the goal and he is always in a half turn. “He is someone our other players and strikers should watch and learn from.” “I’m going to sit down and demonstrate his abilities to them. “Our players must adhere to him.” “If you watch it again, he positions himself onside because he knows that when Albie (Morgan) kicks it, he will pass through the line.”We’ve already witnessed it; he leads it in. “It was a fantastic finish—he knows how to get the exact amount of power and direction on the ball to get it past the keeper. On Saturday afternoon, Blackpool will return to action when they host Peterborough United at Bloomfield Road.
