You think he did very well whereas I don't think he had a particularly good game. It's just a difference of opinion

No need to paint it up as going to lengths to put down a player as if I have an agenda against him
Just disappointed in you trying to pick fault in player when we had a great result yesterday and a player in a great run of form

Said it before. Looks like he’s playing in jeans, but scores goals. Can’t complain. Been putting fighting shifts in lately as well.

Fair play this got me hahaha.

It’s the perfect analogy for some of his first touches. If he started to wear boot cuts I think he’d improve his game no end.

Could have had 2 assists with great hold up play. That's the difference.
Difference between what?

Feel like the overly pro Simms guys are doing it cos they dislike wright perhaps?

I'm weird I like them both ! Want both of them to be physical monsters week in week out. Like drogba. Not just the odd flicks but total 90 mins dominance if possible.

I’m happy with them both scoring goals.

Stop criticising our players.

Simms and Wright will both always score goals in the championship which is great for us. But neither have great all round play - Wright is better than Simms. We’ve started crediting Simms with things that are absolute basics such as the flick on for Esse. I’m constantly amazed how poor both Wright and Simms first touches are.

Agreed on that

But both have the attributes to be so much better.

That doesn't mean they are bad players now. As they are it is enough to lead us to prem I have said it many times but if they can both put it about more and lead the line more forcibly we could do it comfortably

Absolutely. Wright was in the correct frame of mind yesterday. They are both more than a handful in that mode. But the problems they caused were balls over the top where they can pressure centre halves. In to feet and they are less effective.

My issue isn't what they can't do.
It's what they can do but don't, at least not consistently.
They both have extended spells where they are awful and invite the criticism they get.

Hopefully Haji is coming into some form after his cameo yesterday, and with Ellis on a decent run it's just what we need for the run in.

Agree. Consistency is what makes the Gyokereses and Grimeses of the world great. We often take them for granted and when things tail off a little (as has for Grimes a little over the last couple of games) it really shows in our overall performance and results. With Wright and Simms, I hope yesterday’s performances can be maintained until May. We need it.
