Head, shoulders and elbows ahead of everyone else in Leeds United’s scoring chart, supporters can be forgiven for clamouring to see Rodrigo starting again as soon as possible. The 32-year-old’s 13 goals in 24 appearances keep him ahead of that elite one-in-two strike rate forwards judge themselves on every season.
Even in what was a largely forgettable substitute outing at Molineux, Rodrigo finished the afternoon off with a flourish in that deft flick over Jose Sa at the death. The Spain international’s having a stellar campaign with Leeds and if they are going to survive the drop they need him on the field as much as possible.
Javi Gracia is all too aware of this. He can see the dots people have joined up through the international break.
