Level on goals with Stansfield from Blues who people on here seem to drop their kegs for and outscored bigger names from better sides such as Rutter, Iheanacho, Daka and Bamford

The narrative he is a waste of space is getting fucking boring

Not sure he is a natural footballer but will be difficult to argue if he finishes on 20 goals

He was leaning back and put it over which according to some here means Haaland is worse than players at the memorial park. Hopefully the coaches at Man City can work their magic and he comes good.

Werner makes a living out of missing sitters and Nunez his first year or so.

Was having a bit of a whinge about this the other day. It’s almost expected that strikers will score every game otherwise they’re shit.

Absolutely.

The bad news is that we will lose him in the summer.



All the Premiership teams that can't sign Haaland, Kane or Gykores will be in for him.

Hopefully Doug King won't take a penny less than £100 million.

Some of my best tactical ideas have come after having 6 pints of Madri. I’ve taken to recording these ideas onto a small cassette which I’ve been posting off to the club addressed to Robins.

There could be some truth in what you are saying though, because whilst I’ve heard nothing back I’m pretty certain that the WBA line up last Friday was one of mine.

Yeah, first in the league at all since Goddens against Tranmere and first at home since McNulty against Grimsby (I think)

Strangely, Godden and Simms both got 2 hattricks in quick succession. (4 days and 8 days)

His first time finishing is really good and with both feet, like somebody says above time seems to be his enemy.

Strange isn't it? Memorable first time finishing with great footwork for his second and third last night. Looks a different player at times .

Dressing room vibes, cashflow, stadium ownership plans, is there anything we’ve actually been on the money on?

This is everyone if they overthink things. As anyone who has been too stoned and started wondering how you walk can testify.

He's obviously a confidence player and has only just turned 23.

I still don’t get how he’s so bad at trapping a ball though. Not even as an insult, just genuine curiosity how you can play football all day every day and not cushion a pass.

Yep, I have always said there's a heck of a player in there but he has some really rough edges to work out. For something as basic as his first touch to be as ropey as it is given the levels he's played at is crazy. I know it was something David Unsworth was trying to work with him on at Everton.

We have plenty of evidence of MR & AV dramatically improving players with their coaching so hopefully he can get that sorted & he could be pretty unstoppable.

Since Robins has dropped Godden and shown faith in Simms its amazing what having a bit of confidence in a player does for him. There was way too much chopping and changing.

Like I said about pages ago in this thread. Gotta be investing in a 22/23 year old than Godden.

Yes Simms has alot to learn. But my god lad can finish and the potential upside is there unless you are blind.

Chuffed to bits for him and he's answered back the critics with goals.
