Worth noting that strikers in general don’t have great aerial duel numbers, but Simms’ are second only to Haji’s, and he does twice as well as Norm or BTA.
Wright needs to be scoring and making his mark quickly. With the World Cup less than 18 months away and in the USA he needs to be at the top of his game.Exactly. Theres barely an interview goes by where Lampard doesnt reference how good Wright is. He will be back starting as soon as he is able to
All that matters are his goals, that’s what we were told when Godden scored one but did nothing elae rest of the game right?!
He played well. I find criticism of him yesterday quite odd to be honest with you.As I said in a post if you scroll up .. if he scores goals and wins us matches he can play like that
The team were largely diabolical yesterday overall..
We scored 2 goals against the run of play and won , it happens .
Let's not bend reality on what we were watching in real time

Let’s be honest they did batter us but we still could have easily had 3 goals.It’s amazing watching the retconning in real time. Every report says they battered us, every stat says they battered us, the match thread says they battered us, yet we’ve got people claiming it was a close game and a draw would have been fair or best of all that Lampard set us up to defend that way as part of his plan.
I’d say you are against the grain then as the majority had him MOTMI don't think anybody played particularly well, and I don't think simms played particularly well overall.
Not sure that's odd

Sorry if I saw Simms play well but someone is going to try and convince me otherwise because 'aerial duels won' I will stay silent in future. I don't even know you're opinion on how Simms played yesterday but it seems you've perhaps gone for the more unpopular angle again which isn't surprising atm.Difference is I say Kitchings passing was poor, get 15 laughing emojis then post evidence that it was in fact poor. I don’t just go “I am so smart suck it losers”.
Yea most with 2 working eyesSorry if I saw Simms play well but someone is going to try and convince me otherwise because 'aerial duels won' I will stay silent on future.

Again though, I don't actually come on here to argue, and I don't see the point in getting heated about a football opinion that over a beer would be an agree to disagree and move on moment. So like I said to Evo I'll leave it now. I think most will see Simms had a good game.

So we agreeI gave him a 10 in the ratings thread if that helps. In my eyes he scored a hattrick and played the role well.
And the Tats header and penalty shout. Yes we were totally outplayed but all they had was an own goal. Turn that around to earlier in the season. Totally switched aroundI mean we did get three goals. One was inexplicably ruled out. But they could have had six.

I don’t think they had an effort as good as that Tats headerAnd the Tats header and penalty shout. Yes we were totally outplayed but all they had was an own goal. Turn that around to earlier in the season. Totally switched around
I wouldn't say shite, Bannon ran the show and dictated the game, we still had chances though. Thought we battled well rode our luck at times but could of won 4-1They battered us , we won it happens .. we were shite
Evo take a break. He was excellentHe scored 2 goals and won us the game , ofcourse he gets the plaudits .. the team were shite and simms wasn't much better for the most part either .
Miraculously you can play shit and score , you can also play shit and win

But we won't play like that every game. 2 years ago was very stop start, we didn't start motoring until late March.I think we struggled to do so many basic things right all game .. couldn't pass well , players not coming into the spaces to recieve so we couldn't get out , players not holding the ball up well to assist us getting out , CBs defending too narrow we were generally very poor but such is football you will have a couple chances .
If we play like that yesterday every game until the seasons end we won't be so fortunate , it wasn't a good performance
I bet it's Jay Dasilva.All this talk of aerial duels made me look up which of our players has won the highest percentage of them this season - the answer may surprise you.

Ref got all the penalty shouts right, imo.Since new year has been the total opposite of the first half of the season. I guess that’s how luck averaging out works. I thought they had a couple of decent penalty shouts as well tbh.
Maybe Jamie AllenI bet it's Jay Dasilva.

Not true, have you forgotten he was dropped earlier this season in favour of Bassette?Lazy nonsense.
