MvE is definitely the best of our recent signings, he looks class and is getting better every game, most of our other signings look decent, but obviously Simms and Wright are an issue, but 8 of 10 successful isn't a bad result, it's just a pity are 2 most expensive aquasitions are yet to...

But if we play two donkeys together ???

I'm only looking at this season, you can't go back to the days of Gyokeres, Hamer, Doyle Mcnally etc, last season we had some excellent players who carried us to the play offs. Since then I fear we've invested in 2 poor strikers, but you can't say that on here as people are still waiting...

I think changes will be made in January, if not our lack of goals will end our play off hopes very prematurely.

I've been a massive fan of MR, but I think he got the big decisions wrong tonight.

I get that, but the lack of impact from Simms and Wright is a massive issue. I'm not talking about goals (or lack of them) I'm concerned about a lack of general quality and work rate. If they were playing well and working hard but not scoring I'd be happy and be patient etc, but I've seen...

Yes, I'm concerned about Wright too. I think he's better than Simms (just) but he's nowhere neat good enough for this league. You could argue that Simms is still young and can learn to improve I guess, but Wright is a big concern.

Go and watch his performance against Exeter, (yes it was a meaningless friendly that meant fuck all) he was shite, and he hasn't improved, he went from first choice to third choice out of three in less that 4 games, if we can bring in another striker in Jan, then he doesn't make the...

Agreed. The issue here is that people on SBT are frightened to admit the blindingly obvious.

He had a 17 game spell at Sunderland (7 goals) that has influenced everyone's opinion of him, the reality is he's a poor footballer. If you look at Mark McNulty and judge him on 5 months here, he'd be world class, but the reality is he's failed everywhere else. My biggest fear is that...

No he hasn't! He scored 7 goals in a loan spell at Sunderland where they played everything through him. Other than that he's done fuck all. Like McNulty at every club other than here for 6 months.

Simms had a little purple patch of 7 goals in 17 matches at this level, and 1 goal in 11 matches in the Premier league. It's actually a myth that he's proven in the championship. Much the same as Mcnulty who had a good half a season in his entire career.

I know, we'd be lucky to get anywhere near that.

Godden had a poor game against Leicester that's for sure. But Simms is just a poor player.

I'd play Sakamoto and Allen upfront before trying Wright and Simms. At least we know Sakamoto and Allen can play football.

Unlikely. But that's because they've been unbelievably shite, and no other mugs will pay anything like what we have.

Did you see Simms miss the chance of the game?

1 win in 6, 3 shite strikers, piss poor use of subs, no tactical awareness. It's criminal that Simms gets a run out while Sakamoto is a spectator as our midfield is over run. I slated Allen last season, but I'd welcome him back with open arms now. Can't wait for O'hare to return...

He wasn't good today that's for sure, but if we do create a chance, I'd sooner Godden get it that the other two clowns. We desperately need 2 new strikers in Jan, and hopefully we can off load Simms and Wright to some mugs and cut our losses

I can only judge on what I've seen so far, and alarm bells have been ringing for a few games now. How long are we going to give him before it's OK to make a judgement? I get no pleasure in saying it, but I'm worried we've bought a dud. Gyokeres took quite a few games to get off the mark...
