OK, we can't dip into the transfer market now though funnily enough, so it's what I said. At least Wright scores goals as a CF.No, Wright has to play on the left. That's where he's most effective (by far), and he's our biggest goal threat.
We need someone better than Simms.
Next season.OK, we can't dip into the transfer market now though funnily enough, so it's what I said. At least Wright scores goals as a CF.
Lampard won't persist with Simms. He'll drop him as soon as EMC is 100% fit.Next season.
Wright is nullified up from, but a threat on the left. Playing him on the left gives a much better overall goal threat, even if it means persisting with Simms.
I think you're probably right, tbf.Lampard won't persist with Simms. He'll drop him as soon as EMC is 100% fit.
Less today than every time mve cost us.Everyone down a pint every time Simms makes an error.
Seriously, how many pints on average would we have sunk?
I'm not being funny here, but has any club ever bothered to check his credentials in being a footballer?
Well, he does regularly conjure up the exclamation, 'FUCKING HELL'!My mate (sadly) is a Sunderland fan and he loved him. Told me when we bought we him that we had got " a hell of a player".
Fucking idiot
Technically the only thing I'm really concerned about is his controlling the ball - it's truly awful. They need to spend a huge amount of time with him in the off season just working on that. It's so bad it must be he's setting himself up wrong to receive the ball and they need to show him how to do it. I know that might sound incredible for a mid-20's professional who trains almost every day but that's what it is.All the attributes to be a good player but just no fight in him whatsoever.
Bundu stamps on Allen un-apologetically and got stuck in today.. simms has a air shot and accidentally kicks their player (play acted to win the foul) and looked like he was about to take the red card out of the refs pocket for himself
Stealing a living as a pro footballer. We’ve had our pants well and truly pulled down with money paid for him

Simms didn’t play well today but at the end of they day, the big chances fell to Haji and he missed not 1, but 2 gilt edged chances at 3-1 down.
There were many poor performances so targeting Simms is a bit cheap. Sakamoto didn’t take a player on, Rudoni and Wright failed to get balls in the box.
The whole defence failed to clear their lines properly and were outmuscled. Lati and Bidwell had a mare imo.
How many as sub?6 goals in his last 46 league appearances
A goal every 423 minutes
Not good enough full stop
1 goal at the CBS in the league since April 6th last year against Leeds
The whole team were, bar PatersonHe was woeful. Second to everything. Their strikers had more about them than ours
I dont think Simms was the worst player today , but he still was poor and thats a recurring theme
Is he not six three?The blokes 6ft 1 but when he jumps up for a header he's about 5ft 5
That would make him 5ft 3 when goes up for a header thenIs he not six three?
Agreed. Iit’s also a reoccurring theme that Haji is also missing big chances and our chance creation has took a nosedive in the last few games.
If Simms had missed some big chances, I’d be a lot more accepting of the finger pointing. He wasn’t the reason why we conceded 3 goals
Something just isn’t right about the way we approach away games and specifically against the bottom 6. That’s 2 points from a possible 21 and most of those games Lampard has been in charge for.

Wright misses way too many big chances and like Simms also has the touch of a drummer but seems to be beyond criticism
Did him well at wolves last season.The blokes 6ft 1 but when he jumps up for a header he's about 5ft 5
Logged on to say something similar, i don't understand why we are persisting with the same approach to away games, especially with these teams that sit in a low block.Agreed.

You're also correct about Wright. Had a good discussion today with those around me, if we are going to declare that we need to see more from £3.5m Simms, then we should for sure be wanting to see more from £7.7m Wright.
Yes it was a good climb and header from Simms today, which left an easy tap in for Wright, but that was about it, and neither was worse than the other with regards to the rest of the game. Yet i can guarantee Simms has been scapegoated again, without even reading through.
The whole team were poor, all of them in one way or another, but was that down to the way we keep setting up away from home, due to the changes maybe?, goalkeeping errors?, who knows. It definitely wasn't Ellis Simms' fault we conceded 3 goals. He's become an easy target.
He couldn't really miss, I'm on about when he's challenging or is challenged in the air, he offers nothingDid him well at wolves last season.
