I've got to say so far I've not been overly impressed with Wright and Simms. £11.5 million of players there and counting

Would rather have the 15 mill sat in Joys handbag with Bakayoko and Walker up front then watch those 2 clowns.

Wright and Simms need to buck the fuck up, the pair of them look like deer in the headlights. This is always my worry with big money signings. Every signing is a gamble.

Agreed, both were fucking awful, Godden not much better, we struggled to get decent service to them, but we need way more from our £10 million pound strike force than that shite.

MR fucked up by not going 1 up and bolstering the midfield, we just chucked 2 points away tonight which is so frustrating.

it's so annoying because 2 CM's and a striker and we'd have such a good team with great depth.

We're so close but ultimately a failure in recruitment of these will leave us lower mid table/ mid table at best come January.

Have you been happy with them? Our best player up front at the moment is 32 years old and cost us less than £1m

That is football. But all players have peaks and troughs. Pick your in form players suited for the tactical challenge. You have made a couple of big assumptions there? Let's just wait and see? Our best hope is all those players being fit and at their best. Not sure why any true fan tries to sack a player off - unless it is to massage their own ego?

This time last year people were saying we had 'must win' games to avoid relegation ffs

Now we've got must win games to keep in touch?

Get a grip people, seriously

Right, so to sum up, Eccles is shit, Kelly is shit, Wright is Shit, Simms is shit, Palmer is shit. Robins consistently gets his subs and his tactics wrong, but he's the best manager we have had in a lifetime and we should be building a statue for him.

Is that it in a nutshell?

I think we SHOULD be building a statue for him if he has to contend with all these shit players to be honest.

I’m trying hard to keep in the back of my mind that Vik really did not look much of a player when we first signed him, these things take time, one of Wright or Simms comes good

I’d start with Simms. Wright hasn’t done enough to start in my opinion. Someone said earlier that it may well be Simms that becomes the success and I’m inclined to agree. We are missing Viks ability to create as well as score. Worried we may have bought 2 out and out strikers with no service
Click to expand...
Based on what we've seen so far we've just spunked £10 million up.the wall, Wright and Simms look shite, I know it's early days and they need to gell and blar blar blar, and I hate to say it, we are desperate for a striker that can hold the ball up.

You would have thought staff could have gauged Palmer was jet lagged. Ayari was definitely flagging but Sakamota would have been the better choice, assuming Allen is still a week or two off. As to why Palmer would struggle, when Ladibeudiere did not, firstly people respond differently, and secondly Palmer played 90 minutes compared to Ladibeudiere 60.
Although Godden wasn't great, his work off the ball is staggering. If Wright or Simms gave as much, we might have been better off.

In a nutshell we need Callum back, Ayari to fulfill the promise he has shown and 1 of our strikers to look like footballers. Oh and maybe play Sakamoto at some point. But there is the makings of a decent side

I think they've been utter dreadful. At least when we had Baka and walker up front we had the excuse we were scrapping the barrell. Spent 15 mill and we haven't improved past signings we were picking up for peanuts.

Simms has a better back catalogue than Wright that’s my view

I thought he might use Sakamoto as a straight swap for Ayari and keep us higher up the pitch. We seem to drop further and further back with no outlet ball, Palmer really didn’t make much of an impact tonight

Decent result away at a decent team with a few key players missing, I'll take it.

We are a bit of a dull team nowadays, not much creativity or excitement.

Lot's of times it isn't. We'll have to see what the actual injury is and where on the abductor muscle group it is.
