So what your actually saying is, we've tried a thoroughbred with a donkey, and we've tried a thoroughbred with a cart horse so let's try the cart horse and the donkey together! Fucking brilliant mate! And the week after we'll try Simms in goal.

He's been very good for us. He's 22, he has come to a new country, a new language, a new league and a new team system, and yet miraculously doesn't need half a fucking season to "gel" before putting a bit of effort in!

Well in that case we need to tell him it's just a training match!

I think Wright would of started yesterday if it was any other team than Sunderland.

How good is it to be able to count the empty seats instead of the full ones!!! Shfwc

What did you expect? The pair of them together cost half of what we got for Vik. And both are younger, (considerably so in the case of Simms) Wright has shown signs that he will be a handful, Simms less so as yet, but I'd say Simms is improving, (all be it slowly)

It will be interesting to see how he fits everyone in once we have O'hare back and Ayari is settled in.

Or maybe, just maybe, Robins knows a thing ot two about football, and wants more from Simms.

Arrrrrr I see, we can't possibly make our own mind up about a players performance then. So I guess he hasn't been poor up to now at all then?

Oh jeez, more fucking bed wetting!

Yes, but Wright has a goal and an assist in less minutes than Simms has had. Wright has also forced 2 good saves from keepers, and put the defenders under a lot of pressure. You could see he woried the shit out of O'nien today, who'd had a piss easy day up to then despite getting an early...

Agreed, I'm glad it didn't cost me £74, I wouldn't of been too happy if it did.

I'm sure he will, his issue is (imo) that MR needs results, and may well bring another striker in before the window closes, if that happens Simms may well find himself 4th choice, which isn't ideal given his price tag. It wouldn't be the end of the world for him as he's still very young...

Typical bed wetters response. No ones writing him off, no ones saying he won't be the answer. People are just saying he's been poor so far. That's fair comment. He's the only new signing that hasn't shown promise yet, but that may come. (Hopefully soon) He was given a chance today...

Why? are you miraculously expecting him to turn into Harry Kane or something? Or do 2 wrongs make a right?

Those people are still talking shite.

Yea he could be out for many reasons, just saying their fans quite happy he's out. And even more happy they won and kept a clean sheet in his absence.

It's not about goals scored though, if you compare the effort and work rate and desire to contribute to the team, then there's absolutely no comparison between Gyokeres and Simms.

I'd suggest he needs to adapt to our game. Like maybe closing down quicker and working the back line a lot more. Wright put the defenders and keeper under pressure in a way that Simms just never did.

I think with Wright up front we need to get the ball into the box a little quicker, not route 1 by any means, but we seem a little too slow to deliver. Dasilva and van Ewjik were culpable.
