Wright was dreadful, yet Simms didn't get one minute, bizarre

Not saying he shouldn't have brought Simms on at some point but I'm guessing in respect of the 2nd leg FL had penalties in the back of his mind, and would have seen Wright as a better option in that scenario than Simms.

In retrospect though when Eccles was forced off right at the end when we were facing that last minute corner, it might have been a better idea to bring on Simms rather than Allen.

I think Siims might have done better with the open goal that Wright headed wide by yards with about a min to go of normal.time.

Played well the previous 2 home games, I thought. Showed a lot more aggression than previously. Think everyone is looking for a stick to beat individuals out of frustration. If we'd won by a couple (which we probably should have) then there wouldn't be this shed loads of posts.

Although Simms has scored a few headed goals recently most have been from a few yards out that he couldn't miss. I might be wrong but I don't recall seeing him score or even get in position to score from the type of chance Wright missed. For a player of his physique Simms gets dominated in the air by most of his defensive markers. Ironically though he is quite good in the air when helping out defensively, but I don't know why that is so.

Swap Simms for Bobby ala Dublin and see if that makes a difference. hahahaha

Both of our strikers are shit.How we have spent this long on top of the league with poor strikers is surprising, we won't be in the top two in a few weeks DK should of spent some cash in the window to get us over the line.

You say both our strikers are shit. Can you explain then why Simms had the best goals scored to minutes played in the league. The most shots on target per 90 minutes in the league and the second highest shots per 90 minutes played in the league.
Those stats tend to show if he’s given game time he gives a better return than any other striker in the league. Perhaps the issue is that for some reason our coaching staff seem to be ignoring those facts.
