We’ve hit the woodwork plenty of times this season. Think Thomas 2-3 himself
To be fair Thomas is quite unlucky not to have scored yet.
Although I don’t want to be a downer or sound too critical, I’m still a little unconvinced by Simms’ shooting technique. His shots seem to lack power although they may be on target. His goals vs QPR were at such close range that they were unstoppable. I thought his effort against the bar vs Huddersfield was good and want to see him rifle shots with power vs try to place them or pass them into the goal. Anyway, I’ll take a goal any which way at this point. Same for the rest of the team.Simms gets shots on target most games. He's been "unlucky" not to have scored 3 or 4 more goals after good saves or blocks.
Yeah just checked Shot Accuracy/shots on target accuracy in the leagueSimms gets shots on target most games. He's been "unlucky" not to have scored 3 or 4 more goals after good saves or blocks.
I’m unconvinced by most of his touches of the ball tbh, seems to struggle to get and keep it under control and his shooting action takes so long that most of them are telegraphed.Although I don’t want to be a downer or sound too critical, I’m still a little unconvinced by Simms’ shooting technique.

Joelinton is a great example from the same clubIn a Martin Samual article about Tonali at Newcastle
‘It has not been the easiest start for the player. His first game got off to a flyer with a goal on his league debut after six minutes, but since then, like many foreign acquisitions, he has found it tough adapting to the ferocity of the English game. So while losing Tonali is a blow — injuries are making Eddie Howe’s squad look thin — the opportunity to spend the best part of a year acclimatising to English conditions may prove useful.’
This is 60m player, yet we expect Wright, MVE etc to be settled and pulling up trees after three months and a dozen games in the country
to be fair to Joelinton they did play him out of position for a season as wellJoelinton is a great example from the same club

Agree, when were looking to go forward and need an option he's just stood flat footed never looks to bend a run or look for space, always wants it to feet, when he does run into space hes offside. FrustratingI think Wright switches off for long periods when the ball isn't near him. He's happy to stand marking an opposition player on the edge of the their box when the opposition are launching a sudden attack. He doesn't seem to understand the basics about finding space or working hard off the ball.
I cant make out what type of player he is, no confidence and not sure what was seen to pay a big fee yet.
Someone in row kk would have gone home with the match ball.Imagine if that Thomas Asante chance had fallen to Wright.
I looked at his Wikipedia info and wondered why on earth we wanted him at all, let alone paying millions.I just can't work out how whatever method we use to price players we came out with nearly £8m.
He looks like a raw player from non-league we've taken a punt on. Discipline for offsides, composure in shooting, concentration. None of it says top professional.
I hope he comes good.He will go down as our worse signing in history without doubt.
He must burn less calories and run less miles per game then any other outfield player.Just can't work him out. You can see there is something there but as if he's not played for years. Like most of his chances missed and offsides are something you'd pass off in a legends/charity game. I really hope he does come good, also agree he should have time to adjust to the league.. but most of his faults I've seen so far are just basics to being a footballer.
Did you ever see Dougie McGuire?He will go down as our worse signing in history without doubt.
Really wasn’t bad at all tonight, got into some decent positions

Only if we keep him off the pitch and keep showing them the videos used to con our recruitment bods.He really is absolutely dreadful. Let’s just pray that Fenerbache genuinely are interested and he doesn’t put them off before January.
This system appears to suit him better than two up top, but there’s no denying he was miles off it tonightReally wasn’t bad at all tonight, got into some decent positions
