Weird, I said he should have started today and generally defend him but there was an obvious contrast today in application between him and the player he replaced.

That's my point. Some of us feel he's being rated too highly.I suggest you go through some of those 12 match threads and rating threads and , apart from the latter games , he was being rated very highly
Having 1 good game here and there has been the story of our players for years.Simms and Wright are totally different players who can pose the opposition different problems. It is a great example of why you have a squad.
It is interesting how people are all behind Haji Wright after a hat trick (and a brilliant hat trick).
But a lot of fans need reminding they didn't want him near the team today after his performance mid week.
Allen was brilliant too, but I have been reading posts for the last three years that he isn't Championship level. But in a match between two players off contenders he stole the show first half.
I don't see him chipping the keeper but...I like Simms.. but he will never score the type of goals Wright did at the weekend
For some , its just not easy playing number 9 at allNot so easy is it, being a number 9 in this Lampard system...
Yet Wright looked just as hopeless at number 9For some , its just not easy playing number 9 at all
Unless he pulls some magic off in the next few matches simms has had an awful season and we need to replace next year
Has far more to his game and scored 4 in 4 recently despite a couple of average performancesYet Wright looked just as hopeless at number 9
And closed the defenders down for the Grimes goal. Whilst he should have scored against Hull I prefer him if it’s the lone striker role over any others we’ve got.Simms play created the space especially for Rudoni and saka to play in,
Well let's hope so eh , would be about timeI have this sneaky feeling that Simms will do very well tomorrow.

Wright plays the channels , can hold up the ball , can pass , can take a man on , can shoot .. simms looks like he won a raffle at Everton academy to win a pro contractI think Wright is the better footballer, but you're not being fair here. He got three in one game where he was brilliant, and a rebound when he was stood offside in a game where he didn't show much.
Feels like Wright gets 'average' as his review when the same from Simms = 'sh*t'. Think there's some bias.
If neither scores regularly in that system, Lampard and the coaches needs to look at it if they want goals from that player. Neither is getting good through balls and neither is missing loads of good chances.
So robins and lampard have both messed ellis around because they dont know what they've got and its absolutely nothing to do with the fact he offers almost fuck all most gamesthe guy's been dicked about this season. he clearly is a confidence player, which makes the way he's been treated even more puzzling. just play the guy and the rest will follow. as it did last season. if we're not gonna do that then sell him to a team that will.
then we could buy another CF, drop him all the time, destroy his confidence, and expect him to score a hat trick coming off the bench for 10mins at a time.
oh, and btw, wright is not a CF. too lightweight, and can barely head the ball.
he's a winger.

Its about more than goalsOnly three teams have scored more goals than we have this season - it’s a strange complaint to demand more goals from a lone striker position where pretty much every player we’ve tried there has struggled to regularly score. I’m just not sure this team is set up that way.
robins had lost the plot after his spat with adi, that's pretty obvious.So robins and lampard have both messed ellis around because they dont know what they've got and its absolutely nothing to do with the fact he offers almost fuck all most game
no, but a bit of man-management wouldn't go a miss.The way he’s been treated?
Hes not a charity case
robins had lost the plot after his spat with adi, that's pretty obvious.
and i just don't think lampard rates him. and he certainly wouldn't have seen his contribution last season.
no, but a bit of man-management wouldn't go a miss.
if lampard is here next season simms will have to go. the pair aren't suited.
Wright and Simms are levels apart
People on here mainly find anything remotely positive as an opportunity to back Simms but as soon as Wright has a poorer game he’s criticised a lot more..
Which performances?Don't disagree when it comes to their attributes and capabilities. My issue is with similar performances getting different reviews. Also think Simms presses much more consistently in the no. 9 role for what it's worth.
that's cool, you're entitled to your opinion.So its a managerial issue rather than a player issue ? I think thats incorrect
In what way has he been dicked about? He's featured in 40 out of 43 games this season including 23 starts all in his favoured position and has scored 6 goals, only 1 at home. Whether you rate him or not, he's certainly had a fair crack and those stats aren't good enough. Hopefully he scores the winner at Wembley and things change, but he doesn't do enough. Unfortunately we have limited options there and Bassette is worse or he wouldn't start.the guy's been dicked about this season. he clearly is a confidence player, which makes the way he's been treated even more puzzling. just play the guy and the rest will follow. as it did last season. if we're not gonna do that then sell him to a team that will.
