So much of it is confidence with Simms. It might be fair to say that being benched whilst on the hottest scoring streak in the league, for someone who went 13-14 without a goal, may have dented that a bit.
I remember a hungover New Year game when Taraabt ripped us a new one as QPR were on their way to the title. I wish I could remember as little of that match as I could the night before.
