This season looks the weakest in the Championship for promotion for years. Should we risk it all on thinking Wright will suddenly get fit and start scoring or his replacements that had a poor season can suddenly turn it around? BTW how much did Simms underperform on his xG last season as you...

One striker who has struggled with fitness since last year. The other doesn't suit the way we play. Then we have BTA. Yippee. 3 x LB. 2 x RB. Then we have our CB's. Yes another would be nice. But scoring goals is as important as defending them.

Second fiddle to a player who has been injured since last year and is still struggling with injury? So far under Lampard we signed Grimes for 3.5m who is a very good midfielder. We signed defender KKH for 3.5m he also looks very good. We signed Rushworth on loan. A GK who is very good. I...

How many players did we have and how many were we allowed?

You defending Simms and BTA is like those who were defending Collins and Wilson until we brought in a lot better. Collins won the golden glove you know. I'm not saying Simms is shite. He just isn't what we need. For the amount of headed goals we got last season someone of his height and stature...

Our main striker was out for months. The two of them struggled to make it into double figures between them all season. This isn't clearly capable to me. Simms is a big unit. Can you imagine if he played for the side who scored the most headed goals in Europe?

304 pages and just warming up 😂

Which coincided with the signing of Grimes. I wouldn't say downed tools. More like confidence blasted out of the water.

So BTA is better than Simms? 🤔

We've brought in a very good defender and sold a reserve defender. We've brought in a very good GK that we were desperate for last season. He looks even better than Dovin. The saves he made were top class. I can't see him letting in 2 goals from 2 average shots like we were getting last season.

At that rate if he played every minute of every game he would get nearly 12 goals. How about BTA?

We've sold a reserve defender that most agreed wasn't good enough for what we wanted. We've brought in 2 very good players. We're stronger than we were last season and are not finished yet.

I have stated several times that Wright should start in the middle. There were several on here trying to prove yourself and I wrong on the matter. My problem is Wright hasn't been properly fit since he got injured. He will have to get his match fitness back before he will be at his best. If he...

£3m isn't much to a club like Manchester City. But if he wants to put our rent up to something similar it would be massive to us.

But you need to put this against continuing to work with Lampard and his staff. Lampard said about how much they'd come on in the last 4 weeks with them. The quality of the training staff in a lower down club wouldn't be anywhere near what we have. It's Lampard's choice and it wouldn't surprise...

Just continued from the last 6 games?

As our players would say yes 100% Yes goals win games. GK mistakes lose games. Yes they scored them goals in them games. But how did the rest of the season go for them. It's also easy to pick a run of games where they didn't score. Simms is a confidence player who is lacking confidence. You...

Maybe it's all about rent payable if we get promoted. Ashley wants his piece of the cake.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer club 😂😂😂

Just goes to show the quality of our opponents and how well we handled them. After the first 10 minutes I thought it would be more about damage limitation for us but we grew into the game. Their last competitive game was a European final against Chelsea. Of course their players are of a better...
