I said Boro tbf. Maybe you need to be clearer which point you were responding to. Although my point stands.

Comparing Vik and Simms is absolutely wild btw 🤣

Not really. There’s so many factors at play that you cannot judge a player based on a team performance. Ben Wilson got a golden glove in 22/23, was he the best keeper in the league? I doubt he would have been top 10.

It’s a forum pal. To discuss things. The discussion is Simms is not good enough and stats back this up. The only argument I had for Wright to be LW is that I don’t think he’s particularly good with his back to goal consistently enough but he’s still our best ST by a long way. I would have Haji...

In spite of, not because of. Our record in 23/24 without Sheaf was better than with but are you going to say Kelly and Eccles are/were better players?

You are a Simmp 🤣 He will leave on a free at the end of his contract and will never get a contract as good as he has got now.

He came off and BTA secured us the points by outmuscling a defender, running half the length of the pitch and then laying the ball off for Rudoni. Something Simms would NEVER be able to do 🤣

Haji played on the left for a large portion of that. Better way would be to look at big chances missed and % conversion rate, but you wouldn’t want to do that as it would highlight Simms being one of the worst strikers in the whole league.

Exactly this! We are much more dominant when he’s not playing. There’s a reason he didn’t play in the playoffs and it is nothing to do with appearances. He puts us under so much pressure against the better sides as nothing sticks to him and in turn we get pinned in. Boro at home perfect example...

The 23/24 form is a myth. Go through and break it down. One purple patch of which a lot of tap ins.

Not when it costs you £5m+ and £20k a week it isn’t. How can fans be happy with his output? Madness.

He was our second worst rated player. Majority of games he plays he’s the worst. He won’t read this forum either. And even if he does, it’s part and parcel of being a footballer. I’m sure he doesn’t really care when he’s collecting his 20 bags a week.

Not really. He’s a top earner and is not performing and hasn’t since his one and only purple patch. Criticism is justified.

Called it at the time.

His presence? Let me guess, he occupied the defenders well? Surely you want more from a player that cost £5m+ and is one of the top earners?

There’s more than just trapping where he falls short. Link up play is dreadful and we invite pressure from the opposition when he plays because nothing sticks to him. His shooting is abysmal and genuinely the technique is amateur. Watch him do the shooting drill next time you go to a game. Is...

Why? Nothing mental about it. He just isn’t a good footballer.

A tap in, from one yard out? After missing how many sitters? You’re clutching. He’s a below average championship footballer that will most likely run his contract down with us and leave on a free as no one will pay him the wage he’s on now. Lampard clearly feels the same. 7 nil up and he...

Won us the game against Luton? 🤣

I think it’s more the rumours he’s a top earner when that wage could be spent on other areas. Not many teams would pay the wage we do on a backup striker.
