What’s a top striker?
Simms and Wright definitely look like players that can contribute to a team in the top 2/6. They’ve both suffered from chopping and changing formations/personnel this season and are still on to get 12-15 goals each. Give them a full season in a settled side and they would...
Christ, he scored a hattrick.
If he did that every week he'd end the season with 138 league goals. I guess that would only be very good, not exceptional?
If the West Brom front 3/4 can continue producing like they did against us and tonight they're probably out of reach. Not impenetrable defensively though.
Simms scores a first half hattrick and he's only "maybe pushing an 8" just for that half? What else can the man do? 3 goals from his first 3 shots inside 40 mins, giving himself and the team the opportunity to ease off second half and save the legs.
