I wouldn’t let yours drift to that, o hares off
We need a number 9 and hope Simms hits form second season like a sheaf for example
it’s hard to fathom looking back how much Ben sheaf has improved
Looked that way when O'Hare didn't pass to Simms on the counter attack Tuesday.
As the stats suggest, Simms lost every duel he had (6 in the air, 1 to feet) and completed 4 out of just 7 passes.
Maybe explains why O'Hare is overplaying it?
Another ground to add to the list where fans enter and exit the stadium directly next to each other.
Despite the wind up from Norwich fans in the ground, there were no issues and everyone goes home.
I wonder why they haven't got a 100m long fence?

Simms losing 6 out of 6 aerial duels today is dreadful.
To be fair to him, he's on 54% for the season which is pretty standard and just below Haji.
Interestingly, the highest in our team is Palmer with 84% of aerial duels won?
And a small piece of waist high perspex to separate the fans in the stadium.
Makes our SAG group look like right twats.
Sort of on the same topic. The CBS, if you’re driving, has to be one of the best grounds in English football for exit routes away from the area. Today was especially shit.
I must admit, I think that perspex is pretty clever. It's high enough to make it very difficult if anyone dare jumped over it. Netting doesn't work like that.
Obviously our SAG would never allow it because they would think fans would still try and jump over.
Worst bit was when the ref stopped the game to book their player when their was an obvious advantage to us
The CBS is best stadium in the country for cars/coaches (if you're not stuck in the official carpark) and the worst for public transport.
Just watched the highlights and can’t understand some of the frustration at Wright and Palmers shots. Both looked like decent saves.
Norwich had a bit of luck with how the ball fell for their first and a great finish for the second.
Also, Simms was in the perfect position for the follow up on a couple of occasions and on another day might have had a couple of tap i

Reckon we’ve got another £7m or so, I’d drop £3M each on a striker and an AM. You could get some decent quality abroad for that. Then if Vik doesn’t go the rest on frees/younger players at CB, CM and RW.
If he does, I’d look at a first choice CB instead and a new LB, any more and it’s a GK.
Was a decent save for Palmer’s, but even Robins said Wright really should have done better.
Based on the of the players we’ve picked up, MVE, Torp, Saka, you’d think we could round the squad off really nicely with that sort of money.
Could have but it wasn’t anywhere near as tame as some are making out.
I did think we'd bring 4 in during the summer but I've added 1 that I think we'll bring in too...
AM to replace O'Hare
CF for obvious reasons
CM to compete with existing CMs
LCB probably Binks
LB got a feeling we'll try for one of these again. Might even try and offload Dasilva already but offloading Bidwell would probably be easier if that's the route they want to go.

7 million before a vik sale?
you’d also hope we’d have a couple of million in the kitty from ticket sales cup runs etc
Yeah it was a good save for Wrights too, but it was an easier chance than Palmer's and he really had to score it. Very bad miss.
Yeah you’d either go for some quality abroad or the best players in the league below like EMC Kitching etc
EMC link up with his left back at Peterborough is apparently exceptional. Just saying..

Still the stats of 3 strikers put together after 30 games and they still trail Gyokeres’ total for the whole season. I would have expected the 3 of them to have surpassed him by now.
Simms sucks. Plain and simple. Scores from an open goal situation in midweek and tells the fans to shut up. 4 goals only so far. What a lousy return.
The frustrating thing with Wright's is that he did the hardest bit which was cutting inside his man. It must be remembered that Gyokeres missed a lot of similar chances especially in his first full season.

No doubt we’ll free up some wages too, we’ll probably pick up one freebie
I think we’ll have an even better squad next year
He's very good at turning in. Hard to predict as he often goes on his left.
Gyokeres missed loads of chances like that.
Moore, Kelly, Godden, Allen and obviously O’Hare will all be on decent money. So we might be able to rebuild without much addition to the wage bill. Another five and I reckon we go in with 22 Championship quality players.
