Yawn.Let’s not forget it was actually meant to be Vente and Sharp but Doug wouldn’t dig deep enough. SISU puppet.
Fanbase is just not used to having a squad with genuine options in it. With the odd exception, our starting XI has picked itself for years. Having competition for places and different options for different teams can only be a good thing.Talking about a 'dilemma' at this point is a bit odd. Robins targeted, researched and bought in these two players a few weeks ago. You'd hope there was quite a lot of clarity and planning on how he was going to use them in the squad.
I think everything we've seen so far suggests it will be either/or Simms, Wright to start not both. We'll see
Godden has suffered recently with us playing to Gyokeres's strengths. Now we're playing a different set up Godden will score goals. He seems to have a good understanding with Wright already. Even the OG against Middlesbrough was an attempted pass to Wright. If it had missed the defender it would have most probably be another goal for Wright and assist for Godden.Simms and Wright will be our starting strikers when everyone is up to speed. This only changes if Godden has an impact similar to that in our second Championship season.
Simms will be absolutely fine and the naysayers will come to look silly in a few months time. Wright will also be a class act for us.
You reckon payers put on the bench feel the same way?I don't really understand getting hung-up on the starting line up. If a player with fresh legs comes on and makes a meaningful contribution, surely that's all that matters. With the amount of substitutes teams can make now, we need players from the bench that can change the game.
Young lads yes, apart from that , no. Most players are selfish and only happy when playing in my experience.You reckon payers put on the bench feel the same way?
Nobody is a direct replacement for anybody elseSimms is a long term replacement for Godden. Regardless of how much we or Robins like him, Godden's body is not strong enough to last a full season any more. A small injury soon grows into a more lengthy period out. So while God is fit now, Simms will be the backup. That will change, and I'd even guess as soon as Xmas. When pitches get more heavy, Goddens legs will have to be protected. And to a similar amount, so will CoH's.
I think coming on and scoring will also have the added bonus of speeding up Simm's confidence boost. We talk about the first goalscorer but we praise the one who wins the game for us.
It's all about competition for places, and quality in depth. Rather than players being unhappy on the bench they need to compete and earn a place in the team and perform well when called upon. Most players realise this. You're a new member so may not know thisYou reckon payers put on the bench feel the same way?
Simms is miles off the sharpness of 32 year old Matty Godden atm.

Clown, Godden has been our best player.. You saw the Leicester match right ?
Neither player has looked sharp so far, 1 muss hit tap in doesn’t change that.
Ok Mrs Godden. A bit early for that much Chardonnay isn’t it !Clown, Godden has been our best player.
I hope he keeps doing the celebration because it looks like most of the fans still don’t back him.The Godden so sharp he’s currently doing a special celebration to get back at all the fans who slated him for missing a hatful.
He was injured for 3 monthsHe had a poor end to last season and was poor at Leicester. Most fans, myself included, want him to do well, but that doesn’t mean we should pretend he has been.
I have never bought the logic that a striker getting into good positions but not scoring still means he’s had a good match. We don’t say a keeper has played well if he gets in a position to make an obvious save, and then doesn’t and we concede.
He hasnt started the season great though has he? He's had one stinker and one good game- though good job his scuffed shot went in else we might have been saying otherwise.He was injured for 3 months
The way we played meant Vic was usually on his own so he didn’t get a chance of a run in a team what do you expect.
Hes started the season great and fit yet people still doubt him. He is right about cov fans isnt he.
I hope he keeps doing the celebration because it looks like most of the fans still don’t back him.

Harry Maguire did the same thing too for England last year. Worked out wellFingers in the ears.
That always works out well. Ask Micky Adams.
Its a silly thing to do as in the end it just puts yourself under more pressure.
I'm sure the melts on twitter will get over itHarry Maguire did the same thing too for England last year. Worked out well
So was our other striker. We’d be in the Prem if either of them were on form. It wasn’t all about Hamer.He had a poor end to last season and was poor at Leicester. Most fans, myself included, want him to do well, but that doesn’t mean we should pretend he has been.
