The evidence comes from the pissing around we did after he was soldThere is zero evidence for this
One thing I noticed in Betis was the forward passing. Where our players pick the easier sideways ball in similar positions they'd be looking to see if the short sharp forward ball was on. Some of the passes were extremely skillful and far from the easy option.Yesterday showed how far we've come since Lampard and his backroom staff took over. You knew once they started rolling around like they'd been shot at the slightest bit of wind catching them that they weren't just treating it like a friendly. That's a big complement to our side.
So Wright and Simms only signed because they thought Hamer would stay? It’s nonsense.The evidence comes from the pissing around we did after he was sold
I’m not sure. He’s like a sack of potatoes that’s been left in the kitchen a bit too long.I certainly don't disagree. But as a squad player he isn't the bad option that some make out. My guess would be one more season with us. His experience could be crucial.
Not what I said at all.So Wright and Simms only signed because they thought Hamer would stay? It’s nonsense.
Yep and yep imoI have seen a comment that Luke Woolfenden from Ipswich may be of interest to us It's so hard finding anything these days but would he suit our CB requirement and be an upgrade?
The money was spent up building a squad largely from scratch and the wage bill was at the limit of affordability.The evidence comes from the pissing around we did after he was sold
Well how many goals is he coming off this season compared to last?No he isn't
Just goes to show the quality of our opponents and how well we handled them. After the first 10 minutes I thought it would be more about damage limitation for us but we grew into the game.One thing I noticed in Betis was the forward passing.

He is a right footed footballer paid a lot of money. He needs to learn to be mor versatile.Absolutely no reason why he couldn't play on the right IMO. He had a few so-so games there when he first came to the club if I remember correctly, and some on here slagged off his performances, but he was finding his feet at a new club and at a level he hadn't played before. Cutting him a bit of slack you could see he was a quality player, but people seem to jump to an early judgement and never let it go.
But he seems to lack that one big thing, the ability to make a goal by his own skill. Perseverance yes as at sheff wed but skill no. He could never do Vik v Sunderland away or millwall at home. Wright can do it.Simms has seemingly all the attributes to be a top striker. Tall with an imposing physique, and whilst not having electric pace is no slouch. And yet his body language is terrible and certainly does him no favours. If he was to score a worldly, you feel rather than celebrate he would go around apologizing to the opposition.
As many have commented his first touch is woeful, and the ball travels faster than his shots. He is easily knocked off the ball, and seems to easily get bullied by far smaller players. He often seems to struggle to make a clean contact with the ball, and regularly seems to scuff his shots. His confidence seems shot to pieces, and near the end of last season he never really even looked like scoring. He truly is an enigma, like many i had high hopes when we signed him, but i think time is fast running out for him, many have already given up on him.
He ended the previous season without having scored in six games. He hasn't gone backwards.Wel how many goals is he coming off this season compared to last?
This time last season he was full of confidence and had the fans behind him.
12 months later hes had a poor season where he managed less than half the league goals of the previous season, and many of the fans want him replaced.
How can you possibly argue that he hasn't gone backwards?
In fact his decline was so complete that Lampard chose to leave him out completely for the biggest two games of the entire season.
To suggest he hasn't gone backwards is utterly rediculous.
The point I’m making is that the club seemed to be planning on Hamer sticking around and was caught pants down when he pissed off.The money was spent up building a squad largely from scratch and the wage bill was at the limit of affordability.
What makes you say he's not versatile? He plays where he's asked to play, and I'm confident he'd play very well on the right if called upon to do so.He is a right footed footballer paid a lot of money. He needs to learn to be mor versatile.
Maybe Deivid WashingtonI know someone who works at the London Evening Standard and there is talk that at least one Chelsea loanee is on the cards in the next ten days, possibly a forward.
Yes and yes, if true of course. Ipswich fans seem very happy with him and said he performed well at Premier League level last seasonI have seen a comment that Luke Woolfenden from Ipswich may be of interest to us It's so hard finding anything these days but would he suit our CB requirement and be an upgrade?
Just continued from the last 6 games?He ended the previous season without having scored in six games. He hasn't gone backwards.
Tyrique GeorgeI know someone who works at the London Evening Standard and there is talk that at least one Chelsea loanee is on the cards in the next ten days, possibly a forward.
On loan at Santos till JanuaryMaybe Deivid Washington
Ah fair enoughOn loan at Santos till January
I always thought that about Bakayoko…Simms has seemingly all the attributes to be a top striker.
Did Simmo match Tyler Walker last season in the end?I always thought that about Bakayoko…
Tyrique George.I know someone who works at the London Evening Standard and there is talk that at least one Chelsea loanee is on the cards in the next ten days, possibly a forward.
Think an ideal window for me looks something like:
OUT:
Collins
Bidwell
Alllen
Simms
BTA
Sheaf or Eccles
IN:
No.1 CB
Starting calibre CM
RW who carries more goal threat than Saka
ST who can push Wright
LW who can push EMC
LOAN OUT:
Perry
Obikwu
Bassette
That in hope or you heard somethingTyrique George.
Heart says play offs, head says finishing just outside. Start of the season will be crucial, need to hit the ground running rather than are usual habit of making life hard for ourselves.Stronger midfield, more experienced goalkeeper. Two good right backs. We're ahead of where we were this time last season. We've also got the improvement in some players over 12 months too.
Allen is one who i wouldnt be against keeping on. He rarely lets us down and is a great cover option probably on less than the likes of Sheaf and Eccles.Think an ideal window for me looks something like:

Minor knock according to LampardI'm not sure if this has been discussed earlier in the thread, but does anyone know why Lati was not available last night?
I would be more than happy letting Kai Andrews take Allen's role coming off the bench. Give the youngster some gametime to ease him in to Championship football rather than Allen who we know isn't going to improve.Allen is one who i wouldnt be against keeping on.

Ypu woukd think there woukd a queue of clubs wanting him at top end of championship. Havnt really seen this Lampard factor. Lets see of he can do something/anything.Saw a post saying Chelsea were open to loaning him out
This is exactly the type of signing that would epitomize the ‘Lampard factor’Ypu woukd think there woukd a queue of clubs wanting him at top end of championship. Havnt really seen this Lampard factor. Lets see of he can do something/anything.
