Absurd thing to say. Like plenty of others, I've defended both from the start and sung their praises. They are performing how I thought they would. But it's hard work pointing out players' abilities to people who'd rather concentrate on a few mistakes or rough edges.
A few did.
It's not even really backing the players, it's backing the judgement of the manager who's given us one of the most enjoyable and successful periods in most of our lifetimes.
What are these pair worth, 2 of the most in form goal scorers in English football. I don't think you could buy 1 of them for the price we paid for both now. And its again down to the recruitment which has come up again with finding players that fit into the club's ambition and culture.
Very different players with very similar attributes. Listening to both of them Simms is now getting the love and is understanding how to use his attributes. And Wright is a very confident player that knew he would score goals given the opportunities.
It also helps that the team is a creative machine, so many areas we are dangerous from. Must be nice for these 2 to have the knowledge the chances will keep coming.

Good point. I don’t think you can underestimate Palmers influence in their upturn in fortune. He’s been brilliant since the Sheff Weds incident.
It’s took everyone a while to “ gel “ , possibly longer than us fans would have liked , but it’s come .
Vivash’s comments tell you of his working with the squad , all little differences to work on until we can all see the cream rise to the top .
Palmer , an enigma of a player , that’s now blossoming into the player Adi always thought he’d be ……. The fruits of his educating these players ……. Priceless

Last time was in the 30s with Clarke Bourton as one of three according to Jim Brown
Clarke got 18, he would have gone over 20 if he hadn't moved to Sheff Utd at the end of Jan that season.
Personally think both could be as good as Gyokeres, if not better. Don't think we have even seen anywhere near the best of either, and both have been eventually absolute class. Hope we can keep hold of them.
2 players could get 20 goals. Simms (19) and Wright (18). Ohare has 10 and Godden 9. When you think Sakamoto had 7 before he got injured we could have had 2 with 20 and 3 with 10.
The Godden is playing Tats has about as much chance getting to ten
Just scanned through this thread, page 1 full of optimism, page 5 full of doom, 8 onwards back to optimism.
what a rollercoaster football is
what a rollercoaster football is
3 games left 3 goals then its a combined 40 fair fucking play, if we somehow manage to keep both next season imagine how many they’ll score
I've never really considered losing either in the summer. Could be wrong but we aren't desperate for money and both have long deals.
I can't see anyone offering enough over what we paid for Haji for it to tempt us yet.
Simms could genuinely do Vik figures on and off the pitch for us if he keeps developing the way he has this second half of the season. I'm sure the management know his stock is rising so no need to cash in yet.
Next season is huge. I'd imagine if we don't make it a lot of this current crop will be sold then
When wright has the ball at his feet he really looks a cut above imo.... premiership quality
His crossing is good? Especially considering it is usually weaker foot.
