He’s scored 4 headers this season and you’ve ascribed several points to me that I’ve not said. The streaky goalscorer point is something I said about Haji Wright.

All competitions, they had the exact same goal tally and Wright was a penalty taker. In fact, Haji scored 3 penalties in the league so they both scored 13 goals in all competitions from open play and Haji Wright missed more ‘big chances’. Given that Simms scored 3 goals v Prem opposition, it’s...

His MPG for this season is 350 and that’s without considering last season. I crunched some numbers before our run in Jan/Feb when arguing for Simms to start because I thought he was better than Bassette - at that point, he scored a goal every 195-200 minutes in his entire Cov career (all...

He was last season and did at a critical point in our season when Haji was injured.

Dovin has been pretty faultless imo, with the exception of the Leeds 2nd goal in Feb. The point I’m making is that the defence has been consistently at fault for lots of things over each GK who has played this season. This is the fundamental thing we need to fix next season to be a top 4 and...

Have I misread this? Surely you mean get rid of Collins?

In the judgement of the coaching staff, they’ve clearly favoured Collins over Wilson as did Viveash. Wilson has only been favoured by Robins for a relatively short period of time. Do you think Lampard will look at those goals and think it was just Collins at fault? The answer is plainly, no...

He did it against WBA and luckily got the FK, but had it not been awarded, their striker is through on goal. He defends like a RB who’s playing CB and it worries me.

See, I don’t think the management will see it that way at all. The defending was inexcusable and entirely preventable. Don’t take this as sticking up for Collins because he could’ve done better with all the goals. We have conceded Comedy Central goals all season with 3 different keepers. This...

Is he though? Last time I checked, both goal keepers were in the bottom 15 for GKs. Wilson has the benefit of being a veteran of the 22/23 campaign and a bubbly social media presence. There must be a reason all these managers and coaches favour Collins. On MVE, you’re right. Given that MVE...

Of primary concern to Lampard and his staff is how did we make so many basic errors to give Plymouth easy chances. It wasn’t Collins fault there was an unmarked player in the box for goal 1, nor did he possess MVE to give the ball away for an easy cross goal finish nor failed to clear the lines...

Missing big chances only mattered when Simms missed them. Last season, Simms output was actually higher from open play. So again, if we’re judging the players equally… On Haji, he’s actually been in positions for big chances since he’s been playing off the left so there’s something to idea...

People are playing favourites on the forum. Why this thread has blown up after a 3-1 loss perplexes me. We lost because we defended really poorly so throwing strays at a striker is just v odd. If he’d missed 2-3 big chances, it’d make sense. Simms still got flak when his MPG was 200 so it’s...

How? If that happened we’d be equal on points on the final day so a 1-0 win would suffice.

Ok smartarse. Even if we lose to Luton and Boro win, we go into the final day 7th on GD where a win against Boro ensures we finish above them on points. So yes, Boro is, and always been, the ‘must-win’ fixture.

It’s not bollocks at all. We’re 3 points ahead of Boro so they can overtake us on GD ahead of May 3rd. A draw v Luton ensures we start the final day in 6th and Boro need to beat us. If we beat them, we overtake them. GD will not matter.

Wilson has also been a poor shot stopper since his golden glove winning year. Both keepers are unreliable. If it wasn’t for a freak ACL injury, neither player would be near the starting lineup. Given Dovin’s injury, we will almost definitely sign another GK in the summer.

Of course. There’s an unhealthy obsession on this board to nominate a scapegoat at every opportunity. MVE is one of our best players and I’m a big fan, but yesterday was possibly his worse performance for us since he joined and was a liability yesterday. Every single goal that’s conceded will...

Disagree, it’s clear he’s being asked to perform a specific role and Jimmy87 has mentioned he’s playing with an injury. The scrutiny should be with Haji who’s missed two massive chances in the last 2 away games. I’m struggling to see why he’s got a free pass here.

Is it not worrying that he’s still not favoured then? Collins should’ve saved the second goal and done better for the 3rd but to be frank, MVE had a nightmare in both scenarios that lead to those goals.
