Next season? Well on the way this season.
They have 29 goals so far between them. Would be a bit disappointing if they don't get 40 now.
@fatso is 2 goals and an assist against Premiership side enough for you? 
Hopefully people are starting to see what I ment about the difference between Godden and Simms, he was always going to start scoring and his overall play is so much better. Long may it continue!
Can't fault him today tbf.@fatso is 2 goals and an assist against Premiership side enough for you?
(Although he did miss a sitter, and the first goal looked like an own goal
)Seriously though, I'm delighted for him, his work rate has improved no end since the last international break, and he's getting the rewards as a result.
I've knocked him when he deserved it, but I give him all due credit for his improvement of late.
The composure from Wright for that goal in the 100th minute was superb. No overthinking, just really well taken. Needs to back himself more often
I appreciate the classy response!Can't fault him today tbf.

Simms was offside for the sitter so at least that saved his blushes - either way he should’ve buried it.
I don’t think he was offside. The relevant time was the Bidwell cross when he wasn't.
Wright and Simms are fantastic players when on it. Wolves, which had their 1st choice defence out couldnt handle them at all. Wright for me has been mainly outstanding all season, Simms took longer to get going but now he looks brilliant.
Gonna be hard to keep both if we dont go up

Yes I was just disagreeing with the comment that Simms was offside.
Wright has looked good all year for me. Simms looks a real confidence player. Will probably score streaks of goals. But they’re both physical and every opposition will know they’ve been in a game. Palmer has also been much improved last few games.
About 2-3 weeks ago I looked at the xG of Wright and Simms. To my surprise, Wright was nearly -5.7 to his actual goal tally and Simms was -1.5.
To clarify, that means that both of them should have more goals.
For Simms in particular, I believe his output was low was low because he wasn’t given many chances to our away. He obviously missed a few big chances but if you look at most of his goals to date - they’re textbook striker finishes.
Think they both just took time to settle TBF. They really are starting to look like a partnership now.
Wright has been like that for most of his time here. Today you could see why, gets himself into good positions again and again then stalls on the ball and the chance goes. When he goes for it more on instinct, he's a much better finisher.
Based on minutes per goal, we have one hell of a goalscoring team. Pretty impressive all told:
Wright - better than 1 goal every 2 games
Simms - better than 1 goal every 2 games
O'Hare - better than 1 goal every 2 games
Godden - better than 1 goal every 3 games
Tatsu - better than 1 goal every 4 games
Wright - better than 1 goal every 2 games
Simms - better than 1 goal every 2 games
O'Hare - better than 1 goal every 2 games
Godden - better than 1 goal every 3 games
Tatsu - better than 1 goal every 4 games
Good point - Tavares is better than 1 goal a game!
We have 16 different scorers so far this season. Is that close to a record for us?
Wright admitted as much in his interview afterwards , said him and Simms started slowly but Robins never lost faith in them and encouraged them at all times
Simms, Wright, Tats, Palmer and Mason-Clark next year with more to add. It’s coming.
Makes me really happy seeing Simms showing some emotion after his goals today. Love it.
The States must have some very decent forward players if Wright can't get a sniff of getting into their squads
A strong performance against one of the big sides at Wembley might change that.
