They didn't really want to. They had to sell Simms & Cannon to help with FFP. He's scored goals everywhere else he's been & there was a queue of Championship clubs trying to sign him.Simms I just don’t know if he’s got it, starting to doubt it. Interestingly Everton, a lower end Premier League club were convinced enough that there wasn’t much potential. Didn’t loan him to watch his development, flogged him outright at age 22 for a pittance in todays terms
I don't think Simms is best with the ball played ahead of him. He isn't fast enough to play like that. He needs it to feet as occasionally he can control it and run with it.I don't think they necessarily need to be good in the air, but we need a centre forward who can play with his back to goal, take the ball into feet, and lay it off.
Simms is best when the ball is played ahead of him, Godden is best inside 12 yards, so neither of them can play that role.
Might be time to try Wright there, although I do think he's suited to playing off the left.
He hasn't actually scored that many goals elsewhere.They didn't really want to. They had to sell Simms & Cannon to help with FFP. He's scored goals everywhere else he's been & there was a queue of Championship clubs trying to sign him.
Tbf to Wright, while people are busy picking him apart for this miss (not you just in general) how many of our players make a run like that to get into that position in the first place?Wright's chance was far easier than Palmer's

Robins asking if Wagners tactic was to kick the shit out of Tats, of course it was. Wagner wanted them to keep Tats and Cal calmed down, the dirty fuckers should have been down to 10 before we were.
I hate these cunts.
Two really poor finishes from great positions, both far too close to the keeper. I'd put money on O'Hare and Sakamoto scoring the there.

He needs to get angry.2022/23 - He scored 7 in 17 for Sunderland in the Championship at a rate of a goal every 160 minutes, plus 2 assists
2021/22 Scored 5 in 17 at Hearts in the SPL at a rate of a goal every 223 minutes, plus 1 assist
2020/21 scored 10 in 23 at Blackpool in league one at a rate of a goal every 151 minutes, plus 1 assist.
There's enough there to suggest he can score goals if given service.

We do it every game. Never complain,never seek retribution.We also let them kick fuck out of us on the pitch but just took it like it was a strange kink.
Do you not think we did similar to Summerville & Leeds?Wagner schooled Robins in the department of mind games and dark arts this week - The 'sexy' comments clearly rattled MR and they did a number on Sakamoto
Sometimes I think we're too nice of a side to play against
I have yet to see any of our lads get angry. Can we get Doyle in for a week as a lifestyle coach ?He needs to get angry.
Angry with the opposition
Angry with his team mates
Angry with the ref
Angry with himself
Show you care, show the level of frustration and aggression Vic showed.

Yes and I thought it was very much out of character for a Robins side, that side of us does not come out often enoughDo you not think we did similar to Summerville & Leeds?
Natural leader! He was like a little boy yesterday. Watching his players get kicked to sh** and calmly standing by the ref waiting to take the free kick.Torp played well but keeping him on would have risked injury, given his lack of match fitness. Although Allen wasn't great, you can guarantee his work rate, which we needed, especially with 10 men.
If I remember rightly, our results were not good last season when Allen was captain. He doesn't come across as a natural leader. Think Kitching may have been a better choice or Bidwell.
Bore off
At the moment he looks like a centre half who is being asked to play up front.....if this was a striker from lower leagues I think I wouldn't be too impressed.........on the other side I hope it is genuinely a confidence thing and he proves everyone wrong.. including meI’ve seen enough of Simms. So, if he’s good enough he needs to start showing it ffs
I’ve been to Sheff Wed FA Cup and yesterday and he was awful. Virtually no hold up play, comes off his shins, mis timed jumps, doing nothing in the box, not getting on the end of crosses and slow and cumbersome. I want him to be good. He was signed to score lots of goals and he isn’t.
I hope Simms takes some inspiration from Sergeant, that fucker was a handful all game. Really put himself about.We need a number 9 and hope Simms hits form second season like a sheaf for example
it’s hard to fathom looking back how much Ben sheaf has improved
Thomas was very lucky not to get sent off himself for kicking out at one of their players.Palmer and Thomas?
Kitching?
As much as I want our players to stick up for themselves, it’s about doing it in the right way and making decisions that don’t lead to an unnecessary sending off. Bobby Thomas did it yesterday after the second foul on Sakamoto, went and had a word without raising his hands etc.
Funnily enough he was getting slaughtered by their fans (and from further afield) after he first joined them as wellI hope Simms takes some inspiration from Sergeant, that fucker was a handful all game. Really put himself about.
Love Bidders, his passing has been wayward the last few games tho which is a shame.I'm telling you, LB incoming. He's always trying to replace Bidwell, the poor fucker

Is this some sort of lampoon?Sargeant was impressive yesterday, cracking midfielder
Yeah but a better strikerSargeant was impressive yesterday, cracking midfielder
It was that tiny bit of perspex, if you are above 3ft tall you probably didn’t notice it.Segregation, what segregation. Only at the CBS.
