Surely not Sakamoto? And probably not Torp. Eccles methinks.

Apparently they have sold 2.5k for this. Assuming the point grabbers turn up, which they usually do. Decent turn out.

You do realise Wright was bought in and played as a striker? He was switched wide because he wasn’t cutting it there and MR was searching for a way to get more out him. Talk about clueless comparisons. And for the record I haven’t said Wright should ‘be moved on’ I have merely said he hasn’t...

Is it a massive game? We are very unlikely to win the FA cup and getting to the Premiership is the holy grail. Surely better to help the odds of getting a shot at that?

Everyone can see Sakamoto has been a great signing. No one says otherwise. Whereas a shed load of people have the same opinion as me on Wright, he had a poor start and has been very patchy since. Still lots to prove. No idea what you are seeing tbh. Dilusional.

Delusional.

Generally, looking back I think it was quite a mixed recruitment last summer. And we are going to have to live with some of those long contracts for another season or two. Jds and Simms will probably be here for another season as squad players, then go at a loss. Wright is a bit of enigma who...

‘Wright’s a great player’ is the definition of ‘delusional’. He has shown some promise in a couple of games but has been generally very disappointing.

The main trouble with Simms and Wright is that although they clearly care, we rarely see any real aggression or determination around the box and they more often than not lose any one to one battles when it matters. Can MR change them to win those one to ones? Can he get them to be determined to...

Wright has never been ‘awesome for us’. He has been very poor, then improving, then promising, then bang average. This was his 3rd game back after injury. We have to persist with him and hope something clicks. We have no option really. Get a Godden replacement in the summer. A solid, proven...

I’m not sure we could have realistically expected more. We need to hope Sheaf is back soon, COH puts 100% in even if he’s decided he’s off in the summer and that Simms, Wright deliver well as strikers in the final games. I still have that nagging feeling Simms, Wright will under deliver...

Allen could be in the mix somewhere. Especially if we want to pack the midfield. Maybe with a lone striker (Simms).

Getting the significant Gok and Hamer money in early in his tenure has certainly made things more comfortable for him. The next year or two will be interesting with more stable cash flows. Hopefully more off the pitch development and personal investment from him as well in terms of...

How many assists has Simms made this season? The stats sites seem to say 1 in the Championship and 1 in the FA cup….

Well if he ‘proves himself’ to the manager he might end up starting rather than being on the bench.

No. It’s in the category of ‘the bleeding obvious’.

You miss the point. He is putting pressure on himself. He already looks a nervous player. Is that gonna help?

He can do whatever he likes as long as he can take any extra pressure he generates. Can he?

Simms can do whatever he likes. But doing that in the stadium to home fans just puts himself under more pressure. Not sure that’s very wise.

If you are playing Godden, Palmer and COH up front, who don’t tackle back much, I guess Robins feels he has to have a defensive central midfield set up. The answer isn’t to pick Godden and Palmer in the starting 11. Then you can play Allen or Torp in there.
