Matt Rhead

[Scotimp]

The big man is set to make his 150th appearance for the Imps at Accrington on Saturday.

He will be the 100th City player to reach the milestone.

He has scored 46 goals in that time.

And possibly his best of the 46 tonight.

 

[Luke Imp]

I bet his assists are about what his goals are.

Another notch in the Rheady memory banks tonight. Pity we didn't get him a couple of years earlier as he would have been nudging up towards big Percy status by now.

Poor wee lambs.....

fancy Rheady picking on two grown men.

Reminds me of listening to a group of "heavies" chatting at some Highland games:

" where's Davie? Is he not doing this one? "

"He's still in the cells, he picked on four guys last night"

Never mind eh?

No 'possibly' about it. Absolute stunner, in the first minute? He even followed it with a knee slide.

Before the match, we all had Rhead on the bench. Damn glad DC picks the team!!

I would have thought 3 ganging up on 1 was bullying but each to their own.

His diving header in the 2nd half looked destined for the net, I'm still not sure how it didn't end up there. Fantastic effort from the big fella again..

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Perfect dinked ball for Freck's goal too. And he's played nearly the full 90 in the last two games as well.

It hit Ollie Palmers back!

 

[Impalex]

It hit Ollie Palmers back!

That was my take on it, too.

 

[Sincilbanks]

That was my take on it, too.

I was right behind it and was already off my seat and in the air only to come back down and see it wasn't in the net...

 

[Luke Imp]

Likened to Messi on the Coventry forum, which must be a first. I'm not entirely sure the comparison is a compliment on this occasion.

Yeah Ollie Palmer definitely 'cleared' it off the line !!!!!
Great header from Rheady but unfortunately Palmer couldn't get out the way.

A brilliant strike... absolute postage stamp into the top bin.

For me though, still doesn’t beat his overhead kick from outside the box against Barrow...

Didn’t he also get a quality 30 yard chip-in later that season too. Thought he was going to nail another of those last night... just didn’t get quite enough on it...

Not me. You've forgotten the rule: drop Rhead and we don't win.
