Towards the end of last season MR played through without using subs when we had advantage. Why did he feel the need to change today?
Sorry but the bench is the place for Godden this season.

Are you trying to be clever? Simms is obviously going to be a starting forward.

Not if he doesn’t get up to speed quickly he isn’t , Robins won’t just play him because of his cost.

Palmer started missing simple passes in the last 20 mins. Frustrating, but until O'Hare is fit, I expect he'll start.

Agreed. Unless Wright and Simms link up brilliantly in training and Wright is definitely fit enough to start, I wouldn't be surprised to see the same starting XI. MvE and Wright have to earn a spot.

Vs Wimbledon? Might be some players given a start to help them earn a spot for league games

No chance. Simms will start most games. MR won't buy a player for 8m just to leave him on the bench.

If he doesn't produce he won't start. MR can be ruthless.

And it was 3.5m up front, with the rest in add ons.

I’ve calmed down now and can sense the tension of everyone trying their hardest not to mention a certain Swedish striker. We must all remember he had his bad days.

Although I’ll stand by the idea that MVE and Sakamoto will need to wise up to the most competitive footballing country on the planet.

Not too sure Vik would have made too much difference. He certainly would have missed his chances too. Missed plenty similar to the Simms one in the second half.

Just a comment
I keep seeing posts about the timing of the subs .
While I agree Kelly coming on didn't really add anything , it was a chance for Wright and Van Ewijk to show what they could do.
Every single match thread from the last two seasons we all moaned that Robins left it too late to make changes , we now have a better squad and is making changes earlier and we still moan

Very promising performance , really should have come away with something.

Team not quite clicking but when we do it's going to be a joy

Always take the positives, we move

I think it was just the front 3 that struggled on that. Thought the back 3 did really well.

Cos he took off a good striker for a good striker. Left one playing poorly on. We needed 2 good strikers on pitch to beat title favourites.

It's that simple

Oh yeah, of course, you're right. Wright didn't start because he's out of favour with the manager, and hasn't been performing.

Playing poorly ?
He played well , got in good areas but snatched his chances . Was Simms one on one any better?

Depending on how the remaining window goes, reckon Haji Wright will be first name on the team sheet.

Wilson actually will, but you know what I mean.

Despite a pretty good performance overall, In my humble opinion i can see why we got so much money for Vik, he offered so much and despite missing some chances at times was a handful. I’d have loved him to play today against those half wits

Sounds silly, but that’s a must win if we are serious about promotion this season, I can excuse one loss after a decent performance, but it can’t happen twice in a row and definitely not at home

You're right, it's quite clear we're a good side from that, against probably the league winners let's face it. Still I hate losing and very frustrating to do so as I don't think it was deserved and it seemed very avoidable.

First 15 minutes of the second half I thought Godden was fantastic. Unfortunately he had 3 brilliant chances. The first was a good save, but the second he had on his left was really poor.
Click to expand...

Yeah, everyone talks like some of these chances are sitters but they’re difficult when keepers are out quick. The first two in second half were half chances really. I expected him to finish third (after Wright shot) albeit from tight angle and he also missed his kick from nice corner move first half. I like Godden but he’ll be disappointed to only work keeper/hit target one from those four. Poor really

On another day one or two of those go in.

Rivalry aside, I’m actually pleased that was first game of the season where we are still getting our bearings rather than against someone like Rotherham where when we start ticking you expect us to get 3 points.

Wtf are you on about ?

You undermined your own argument saying we don't sign multi million pound strikers to sit on the bench, when we had our club record signing, literally sat on the bench!!!

You're not very bright are you.

I thought that Simms seemed reluctant to shoot in the first half. Wright's cameo showed what a player he can be. Godden was disappointing. Thomas was a beast and will be a star in the defence. The midfield was overun too often.
