I think I read we have scored more headed goals than any team across Europe's top leagues. That's crazy

If you look at the first two goals he blocks their defender for the first and actually occupies 2 for torps second. It's clear he has been given a specific role and it's working. If you want to drill down into the granular minutiae then it might be different. But in the big moments he did his job

He has better games granted

On a side note it was pretty incredible that we had our captain and top scorer on the bench yesterday when 2-0 up

I guess it's the difference between winning games " in spite" of an inviduals performance and winning "because" of an individuals performance . They're not mutually exclusive in my eyes if we win

I think that's the thing. Evo is probably right in that a lot of CF could do that role but until we start losing its working

I did like Biamou tbh 😂 but again I don't go on goals

Took a while that though

The stattos amongst us would say so because only goals and assists matter to them. However as part of build up play and occupying defenders I'd say he improved, maybe at the detriment of his own goal tally but it has benefited the team as a whole. As someone said earlier, he's been the CF during...

The Yakubu of SBT?

Tbf this obviously works if even our fans are querying why simms doesn't score more headers 😂

Many people don't see this. They just judge a CF on goals. But as lampard loves wingers and late runs from midfielders, Simms is merely a distraction for defenders because, like our fans, they think the cross will be aimed at him

I saw a few times he was down the left and right as well as down the middle which isn't something we saw before lampard came in. He still has lots to work on but I can see an improvement in work rate

Obviously from my comment I stated he was across the front line the same as gyokeres used to. If you took that to mean I think they're the same player then yikes

He was popping up all across the front line yesterday much like vik did. I think Lampard has addressed his work rate and it really does show

See the simms slaters were out in force before our winner yesterday. A lot of fans have a really misguided view of a strikers role. A lot of our goals are now coming from midfield and so Simms job to facilitate that is just as important if not more important than him scoring. It was the same as...

Midfielders arriving in the box. Well done Lamps

In the words of Rodney from only fools, the council would scalp you if dandruff had a going rate

Did we ever hear what the exact outcomes of them were?

Robins will get a great welcome. His chance of being a premier league manager has probably gone but he still has to work for a living. Stokes a basket case of a club so he will probably do well eventually like he did when we were, he thrives on a backs to the wall type job. I for one will give...
