Oasis always better though
Agree. I would like to see Wright and Simms up front.I would have loved to have seen Simms come on for Godden and then Wright and Simms playing together for a change. Didn’t feel any of our strikers were good today so probably a chance to take Godden off and try the “dreaded” Simms/Wright combo.
Yeah exactly, no pace or real control, not that any of our strikers were on it today it seems but don’t think Godden has the pace for bursting through defences as a lone striker. I’ve no idea what we try going forward though, each one of our strikers seems to have some sort of weakness.Godden up top is the stuff of nightmares. He was anonymous for most of the game tonight. When he did get the ball he either slowed the ball down or couldn't control the ball.
We need to go one up top but definitely not Godden.

Did you see Simms miss the chance of the game?Godden has been missing chances for a while. At Leicester he was missing them for fun.
Unlikely. But that's because they've been unbelievably shite, and no other mugs will pay anything like what we have.How likely do you think it is, after signing both Simms and Wright just this summer, that we will be offloading them in January?

I'd play Sakamoto and Allen upfront before trying Wright and Simms.I think that at least for a while, given we’ve spunked 11 million on them they need to start just in case we are wrong
Not rocket science. Simms has history of doing it in the Championshp. Wright played in a pub league. Therefore I have more confidence in Simms turning it around. I.e my initial po
Simms is a proven goal scorer in this league.
Simms wasn't a gamble, he has done it at this level already. Everyone else got a tune out of him. What was possibly a gamble is if we are not playing a system to suit him or thought we could shoe horn him into one then that's probably a misalignment between coaching staff and what the recruitment team have gone out looking for.I can only judge on what I've seen so far, and alarm bells have been ringing for a few games now.
How long are we going to give him before it's OK to make a judgement?
I get no pleasure in saying it, but I'm worried we've bought a dud.
Gyokeres took quite a few games to get off the mark, Mcnulty was the same, but both certainly showed signs of having qualities. Simms has offered absolutely fuck all, and Wright's not much better.
Godden had a poor game against Leicester that's for sure. But Simms is just a poor player.That was no worse than Godden putting it wide from a few yards out.

Didn't someone write that he plays off the left wing cutting in? In which case, why not try:Simms wasn't a gamble, he has done it at this level already. Everyone else got a tune out of him.

Simms had a little purple patch of 7 goals in 17 matches at this level, and 1 goal in 11 matches in the Premier league.Not rocket science. Simms has history of doing it in the Championshp. Wright played in a pub league. Therefore I have more confidence in Simms turning it around. I.e my initial point

I'd say that is reasonably proven. You can't dismiss it as a fluke yet.Simms had a little purple patch of 7 goals in 17 matches at this level, and 1 goal in 11 matches in the Premier league.
It's actually a myth that he's proven in the championship.
Much the same as Mcnulty who had a good half a season in his entire career.
No he hasn't!Simms is not a poor player. He’s done it elsewhere. Wright may well be
Its fair to challenge the fee, I'm with you, it's £3.5m and up to £8m I think with add ons? If we trigger those add ons (I think one being promotion) then it was probably worth the £8m we may end up paying.I think that’s pretty astute.
But I maintain my original assessment: we spent too much on Simms. It was a transfer based on a kid in a sweet shop with too much money to waste.
I have similar concerns about Wright
You do it by working hard with him on the training ground and motivating him to keep his head up. We genuinely seem to have some fans who have written him off already.I'd say that is reasonably proven. You can't dismiss it as a fluke yet.
The problem is how on earth we get the best out of him, plus his price tag-that's a lot of pressure and both strikers look perpetually concerned.
Can Cov fans accept that we are a mid table side? Ultimately, that’s the problem
No he hasn't!
He scored 7 goals in a loan spell at Sunderland where they played everything through him. Other than that he's done fuck all.
Like McNulty at every club other than here for 6 months.

Or hit anything at allYou're right, he had Jack Clarke and Diallo playing behind him, in a very attacking Tony Mowbray side, he was always going to score in that team. In our side, be lucky to hit 5 goals this season.
He had a 17 game spell at Sunderland (7 goals) that has influenced everyone's opinion of him, the reality is he's a poor footballer.His record says he’s not. But unless he has a Vik style turnaround I’ve no idea how he’s got his record.
I mean, he didn't have long tonight and Hull were chasing the game...he needs a bit more time.He had a 17 game spell at Sunderland (7 goals) that has influenced everyone's opinion of him, the reality is he's a poor footballer.
If you look at Mark McNulty and judge him on 5 months here, he'd be world class, but the reality is he's failed everywhere else. My biggest fear is that Simms isn't a good striker and we've pissed money up the wall.
Agreed.You're right, he had Jack Clarke and Diallo playing behind him, in a very attacking Tony Mowbray side, he was always going to score in that team. In our side, be lucky to hit 5 goals this season.
And what is the blindingly obvious in this case?Agreed.
The issue here is that people on SBT are frightened to admit the blindingly obvious.
We came within five minutes of beating the form team at their place. We’ve come within 15 of beating probably the best team at their place. We’re not a million miles off. A little more energy and steel and we’d be sitting pretty right now. Those things can come.
Absolutely clueless you are.WTF does that even mean? He's fucking woeful. Wright isn't any better. To be honest I'd start Godden as a lone striker (as hes the best of a piss poor bunch) and play 2 attacking midfielders supporting him.
But tbf, never mind a Hamer replacement, we desperately need 2 strikers in Jan.
Were his spells at Blackpool & Hearts flukes too?Agreed.
