It was a ridiculous signing the the first place. La Liga really isn't very good, but he was never that standard. Not surprised that they sacked the manager making decisions like that.

I think Wright will be a good signing. Needs time to settle but it’s obvious he has ability. If I was Robins I’d start him in a good run of games.

He would fit very nicely into a team looking to shift to a forward three…..

(it’s never going to happen)

Will admit it was a poor argument but I was trying to say that a striker scoring 2 can hardly be criticised, especially when they are two meaningful goals (i.e. not consolations or 3/4-0 types).

Wasn't really a poor argument at all. As @Tommo1993 said, if he'd broken down on the way to the match he wouldn't have got their in time. Well, if someone had crashed their car in front of him on the M6 and blocked the motorway for a few hours, he also wouldn't have got to the game. People make mistakes and sometimes it affects others, like the referee giving a penalty for a non-existent foul. Pretty relevant to the outcome actually.

I agree with this. He is on target for at least 12 goals as well. I’m confident that Wright and Simms will come good.

After this many games last year, our forwards had scored 8 goals between them. This year they have scored 11. I don't think the forwards are the problem with this team.

Would you say it's the midfield that doesn't really score or create, the defence that's leakier than a 100 year olds bladder or the keeper than seems to have taken up professional dodgeball?

Its the defence for sure that look like they speak 7 different languages between the 5 of them. Although can't imagine the constant chopping and changing is helping them.

He'll be a top player, has skill and tricks and pace. That header against Blackburn and the goal against Boro shows he can finish too. Be interesting to see the comments later in the season, once he settles in and is more confident.

Had the same problem years ago playing on a Sunday morning. Our managers solution was put the two big CB's up front and route one it to stop the rot

He is still settling and learning about English football. Our players are still learning about him and learning how to play to his strengths.

Fans have to realize this isn't last season. It is a totally different team still finding it's feet. Reel in your expectations - because it will come good.

Football is about small margins. Turning the corner can be a slow process.

I said before the start of the season, we won't see the potential until after Christmas and we might not really see the benefits until next season.

Keep the faith.

He has skills and tricks?!

He's on track to have a decent first season for now. I'd like to see a bit more from him though

Watch the Preston unseen video, to see how quick he reacts for the for the first goal, its a skill in itself. Haji and Simms will come good. But as recently said on the thread our main issue isn't the forwards currently.

He's scored a goal every 180 minutes he's been on the pitch.

Was unlucky on Saturday second half when he linked well with O'Hare and dribbled around a player to nearly score. Looking back at the match replay he was decent all in all, I guess London was steaming by then and can't remember.

I dont go on bad runs as if i think the AI is cheating me with say pens or last min goals we simply play the match again until the AI behaves itself. And generally because i am a good manager i rarely lose matches.

We are absolutely clutching at straws for Wright it’s embarrassing.

when he leaves we all know he’ll be considered a flop.

sorry if you are spending club-record levels of money you need instant paybacks. Not some half-arsed dicking about he does with the occasional tap-in.

Shocking player

Keeping everything crossed that he will come good but I just don’t get how easily he’s pushed off the ball. He’s got the aggression of a kid’s teddy bear. He never looks like he’s going to win the ball in a 50:50. He just doesn’t worry defences though sometimes he worries the hell out of me

Let’s face it, he’s just not very good. A very poor signing by the club.

I am puzzled why Wright gets all this criticism and Simms gets praised as a good signing whose value will go up. Wright looks poor at times but scores goals and shows real talent in flashes. I don't understand what Simms brings to the party as yet. Certainly not goals.

Simms is quick and strong with a decent shot on him. Both him and Wright don’t look at all comfortable with a football though, which is weird for their price tag.

Wright is quicker than Simms.

If Simms has a decent shot on him why has he scored only two goals?

Cos he’s been played in fits and starts like Wright so Godden can be ever present. And he’s had worse service than I got from a very grumpy Russian waiter in the all you can drink sex club in Amsterdam.

Simms isn’t to far behind Wright. The recruitment team have signed a pair of cart- horses who are so far off the pace of the championship it’s scary.

He's played in every match!

And that has been the problem. He should have been allowed more time.
