I don't think wright is particularly strong
I don't think wright is particularly strongIn any way?
Both big, quick, strong forwards. Vik is better in every way obviously but profile wise they're quite similar.
In what way was he woeful? He was our most dangerous player and went on to get the winner. It’s baffling the agenda you weirdos have against him
Simms has all the attributes, just doesn’t seem like he knows what to do with them
Different gravyGyokeres is / was levels above anybody we currently have here .. not sure why everybody keeps making the comparison ..
Vik had a mediocre 12 games and everybody talks like he took half a season to start playing , he was immense from the first kick the season after we purchased him and stayed immense for 2 years , different type of forward and the best we've had for 20 odd years
yes he is skippy, want me to buy you a clue for xmas?Is Simms supposed to be quick? So far he doesn’t seem to be but we’ve not seen that much of him yet. Would like to see him now get a run over Godden

In the sense that being compared to the best striker the club's had since the top flight isn't useful.In any way?

He's objectively strong but Gyokeres was particularly strong, an exceptionally strong playerI don't think wright is particularly strong
so exactly what I said thenHe's objectively strong but Gyokeres was particularly strong, an exceptionally strong player

I’ll further that correct statement by saying that he was exceptionally determined. He played with purpose and I can’t recall him ever letting his head drop.He's objectively strong but Gyokeres was particularly strong, an exceptionally strong player

Moody fucker at the best of times. It’s what made him so well loved by all of usI’ll further that correct statement by saying that he was exceptionally determined. He played with purpose and I can’t recall him ever letting his head drop.
That’s the difference.
Was I talking to you?so exactly what I said then
Best comment I’ve ever read on SBT. Congratulations old chapI think in general some people are just massive thick cunts who you wouldn’t have any affiliation with in normal life. But we are brought together through football and who we support. Don’t overthink it.
Gyok has a unique skillset that no striker was ever going to live up to and makes comparison worthless.
Wright operates in similar spaces to Gyok but prefers to run on to the ball and is nowhere near as comfortable dribbling or challenging the centre-backs.
With the positions he gets into Wright has the potential to outscore Gyok, but he'll never match his in-game impact or goal involvements (31 G/A last year). He seriously carried us for parts of last season.
The settling in comparison however is useful. Gyok is the main example but we've had lots of players who have started poorly/average and got better and better - which is why we should be cutting all the new signings some slack.
He certainly doesn't use his strength effectively if he is, seems far too easily knocked off his stride and doesn't bully defenders. He does however have a knack of getting in very good positions and if he could finish more consistently would be approaching double figures already. I'm quite excited about the recent formation change and seeing if that brings the best out of him, though i thibk we'll need one or two different players in January to play this for the rest of the season.I don't think wright is particularly strong
More in central midfield is definitely required, perhaps a winger but nothing extra I think.He certainly doesn't use his strength effectively if he is, seems far too easily knocked off his stride and doesn't bully defenders.

Yeah i think centre mid needs attention regardless but if we are playing with a front three it feels like we're an injury away from scraping the barrel for wide players.More in central midfield is definitely required, perhaps a winger but nothing extra I think.

Why do you want to replace our two best players this season but not add to the no 10 position where we have had noone produce anything all season or the strikers where we have three players, one of whom has only scored in one of 18 games?Two wide player and two CMs for me. If Binks goes and Fadz isn’t reliable another CB too.

So you want to plough on with Simms up front rather than give him some time. It will destroy his confidence. We should give him some time. Also what happens if a couple of our three forwards get injured?We don’t have a number 10 mostly. We play with two 8s, and have one and no challenge so I’d like two.
Squad:
Wilson/Collins/Moore
MvE/Lats
Thomas/Fadz
Kitching/CB (or Binks)
Sheaf/Kelly
Eccles/CM
CM/Allen
Wright/LW
Simms/Godden
Saka/RW
Ayari and probably O’Hare off. Plus maybe Moore and Binks. Palmer can slot in in various places if we need an out and out ten.

I know changing players' positions is crazy in the main (Dabo CDM!) but I often thought Palmer might do better centrally up front in a fluid formation. He's not lazy at all, but does tire easily and the game does sometimes pass him by. If he was covering less of the pitch in a more forward role, it might suit him better if he were to press in more fits and spurts and a more defined area of the pitch?Could probably get away with one winger and use Palmer or Tavares there.
He's played in all 18 matches and scored in one of them. He needs time and support but you're suggesting to keep the pressure on and start him ahead of Godden who has scored seven, and also that we don't need reinforcements. We didn't do this to Gyokeres when he arrived and we reaped the benefits in the long term. Also Simms has generally looked far better coming on as a sub than when starting when the pressure is much greater.What? What on earth are you on about? Keeping him in the squad is ploughing on and not giving him time??
Surely injuries is why we want options for Saka and Wright?
It’s like you’re determined to have a go but haven’t actually read what I’ve written?
He's what, 6'4"? So he won't be weak, think its just a case of him using his strength and size more effectively but we'll have to wait and see if he can do that or not (same with his finishing). I agree about the strength in depth, a few more decent signings and we could be a very effective side at this level again.He had some good moments against Plymouth where he used his strength to beat defenders so I don’t think he’s particularly weak either.
The 3-4-1-2 made us look quite flaccid in attack. 4-3-3 suits our midfield quite well because it’s fluid and Eccles-Allen-Sheaf interchange quite well and they’re getting in those channels. Likewise, the fullbacks seem to be more attacking as they benefit from the cover they have - particularly MVE and Sakamoto.
More strength in depth in the wide areas and in midfield and I’m confident we’ll start to look like a side that promises to compete for playoffs.
Similarly at centre midYeah i think centre mid needs attention regardless but if we are playing with a front three it feels like we're an injury away from scraping the barrel for wide players.

Fortunately, I said just that before said thread appearedCovered your back nicely here

And the Blackpool game didn't really show much, but he *did* score playing up front...
