End of the day end product tops all. And you can afford one slightly eccentric striker who scores twenty a season. Just like we can afford a ten a season striker if they’re doing the other stuff well and enabling the team. I’m not sure Simms is tho
Would love to see a deep dive into what happens mentally to teams that turn in performances like that. Like it baffles me how often the entire team has an off day. You’d think law of averages would mean a couple would have a decent game but it always seems all or nothing. Sports psychology is...
Two years in a neither Wright nor Simms look like they have that dog in them. Wright gets a pass cos his scoring record is ridiculous but both would kick on so much if they could get a bit of aggression about their play.
I don’t know what the technical term is but we piss about with it far too much against a low block. Constantly waste chances to get it into the box or go past their first line of defence.
