Haji 19 goals season one, 12 goals in half a season this year. 31 goals in total - are you mad?Simms and Wright - Two of the worst signings since Tommy Langley and a leper.
Far from mad - But anybody thinking Haji Wright will repeat that first season tally might be.Haji 19 goals season one, 12 goals in half a season this year. 31 goals in total - are you mad?

He's scored 6 goals in his last 35 plus gamesHe’s scored consistently his entire career. And he’s frustrated the fuck out of fans his entire career as well. Man’s an enigma.

Agreed. I think 0 minutes in two playoff games says everything you need to know about what Lampard thinks of him.When Lampard came in he was asked about Simms and gave some vague everyone will get their change answer but he really doesn't seem to like Simms.
Got to be hard to get any run of form going when you're only playing 15 - 20 minutes and the occasional start before being hauled off after an hour.
Think the only time he's had a run of games under Lampard he's got 4 in 12 or something like that. Wasn't it similar last year when he got a run of games?
Shame for him but if Lampard isn't go to play him for his own sake he needs to look elsewhere. Will just be a question of how much we can get for him.

I wanted him to come good but it looks less and less likely.Lamps didn’t fancy him at Everton I guess and don’t think he still does. As you say-a parting of the ways may be best.
Bit harsh on reflection.Simms and Wright - Two of the worst signings since Tommy Langley and a leper.
It’s football but I felt a bit sorry for Simms regarding the 2 playoff games. Was it a bit disrespectful for Lampard to not even throw him on for 10 minutes? Same could be said for Bidwell, Patterson and others on the bench though.I wanted him to come good but it looks less and less likely.
I wonder if he is a bit homesick and would benefit with a move back to the Manchester area.
Yes I think wright's done generally well for the club , but fell into poor form at the wrong time .Bit harsh on reflection.
Not really, they were playing well before conceding. Could have had a negative effect on the performance.It’s football but I felt a bit sorry for Simms regarding the 2 playoff games.

If Frank had put Simms and Assante in for the full extra time period, we would have won thatIt’s football but I felt a bit sorry for Simms regarding the 2 playoff games.

I assume he just had more faith in the 11 out on the pitch while wanting Wright for penalties. He should have been hooked well before extra time anywayIt’s football but I felt a bit sorry for Simms regarding the 2 playoff games.

Think it was Dyche who let him be soldHow involved was Lampard at Everton in sending Simms out on loan, then agreeing that he could be sold?
Who was in charge at that time? (Genuine question as I can't be bothered to look it up)
Michael RoseLampard sold/released Collins didn’t he?
Any other players let go by the same manager at different clubs?
Michael Rose has been released by Stoke, thats twice Robins has released him.Lampard sold/released Collins didn’t he?

He was one of our quickest players at the time, surprisingly. Something we are lacking in defence (Van Erwijk the exception). Unfortunately, he seems to struggle keeping injury free.Michael Rose has been released by Stoke, thats twice Robins has released him.
He's still only 29, I'd say he's a better CH than Lats and Binks.
Would still be a decent squad player on a free!
