Thank you thank you but i dont think its fair to hold the whole team to that standard you know
Robbie, your commitment to your art is beyond comparison and puts the paltry efforts of professional footballers to shame
Thank you thank you but i dont think its fair to hold the whole team to that standard you knowYou Sir are a true hero! I salute you.
Has Kitching recovered then trained fully following his groin issue? If not, Binks may fill that position - also, wasn't Da Silva injured against Watford, so Bidwell may come in?View attachment 31810
If the Jamaicans aren't deemed fit to start, then it picks itself really. If they are then Thomas and Sakamoto miss out. Nobody else has done enough to take a starting shirt yet.
In what way do you think Simms is better defensively? Maybe for corners although I don't recall many defensive clearances? His work rate and covering is nothing like Goddens at the moment and I think that is part of the problem as far as Robinss is concerned (as well as the lack of goals of course).Think we’ll have less of the play and Simms is better defensively and has more pace. Godden has played every minute of every game. He can have a rest for an hour.
I agree with this. I am not sure Sakamoto is a number 10 from what I have seen but I didn't go to Swansea. Ayari hasn't done enough to justify a start, and I think his substitute appearances have been a bit concerning.View attachment 31810

Sakamoto was pretty good at Swansea I thought. They resorted to hacking him down at every opportunity. It does seem unclear how Robins plans to use him but I do think he's a good football player.I agree with this. I am not sure Sakamoto is a number 10 from what I have seen but I didn't go to Swansea.

He was far more heavily involved in the goal at Swansea than KP has been in any of our others from open playSakamoto was pretty good at Swansea I thought.

Sakamoto will be fine at 10. He’s like a championship David Silva!I agree with this. I am not sure Sakamoto is a number 10 from what I have seen but I didn't go to Swansea. Ayari hasn't done enough to justify a start, and I think his substitute appearances have been a bit concerning.

I don't understand the desire to keep playing Simms at the moment. Godden and Wright look dangerous together and Simms seems to need some time to develop and fit into our system. I think it will be detrimental to him long term not to give him some time, rather than keeping him in the spotlight. I think Robins will follow a similar path to what he did with Gyokeres and give him time to develop before becoming a first team regular. I hope Simms responds in a similar way.
I see the set piece point, but don't think he has played well, and he seems like one of those players who needs time. Let's see how he is after Christmas but to keep playing him now will be detrimental to his confidence and our results. Take out Godden out of this team and it is difficult to see us scoring many.I mean from set pieces. Even if not in the box we tend to play Godden as the one up and I think Simms would be better there too.
I don’t think he’s played badly, I just think he’s not played without another striker standing on his toes and would like to see him given a shot.

Perfectly willing to accept i might be wrong on this and he might go on a sudden scoring streak but he just doesn't look ready to play in this team to me.
I am not saying he doesn't play at all of course but just not starting regularly at the moment. It's not harsh and I think continually starting him and dropping your best goalscorer would place undue pressure on him. Other than maybe defending from set pieces I don't know what you think he would add to the team above Godden that would compensate for Godden's goals.You want to take him out the team for four months?? After a grand total of 220 minutes of league football?
Seems ridiculously harsh to me. If Godden had played the same minutes he’d have scored one. We’re five games in, it’s far to early to be making these kinds of decisions.
Before we write him off, I’d like to see him without Godden on the pitch, which we haven’t yet. And I think away in a game where we’re likely to see less of the ball and Godden would be less effective anyway is a good time to do it. Not to mention after two weeks of having your final squad together.
Don't think about the names think about the formation.I bet there's not a other club in the cou try who have so many people suggesting they drop their top scorer, it's baffling.
Not only that but to replace him with a player who hasn't scored and isn't playing well.I bet there's not a other club in the cou try who have so many people suggesting they drop their top scorer, it's baffling.

Mate, it just might work but the idea of a midfield of Kelly, Sheaf, Eccles and Sakamoto doesn't sound too exciting and it is difficult to see too many goals.Don't think about the names think about the formation.
We are only allowed eleven players on the pitch. We can't have 4 midfielders and 2 strikers so you have to take your pick. A stronger midfield is imho of more value than a second striker in an away game.
We could keep Godden at the expense of Wright, but I doubt Matt G is up to leading the line role
Simms might come good, but let's give him a chance. Dropping your top scorer and putting him in the firing line before he's had a chance to adapt to our style playing can't be right.I think he’d add goals and all round threat. His historic record is comparable to Goddens. Hell come good and minutes in his legs are worth more financially in the future than minutes in Goddens
It’s one game. I’m not advocating Godden is taken out back and shot.

Adjusted for youI don't think excitement is what we want. A good away 3 points against a form team will do

Well if they both want to do the same thing (I don't even agree with that) why not play the one who is scoring and playing well rather than the one who isn't?Who said he hasn’t adapted? That’s my whole point. He hasn’t played a minute without Godden next to him who wants to be in all the same places. Give the man room to breathe.
