I appreciate your optimism but based on what you have seen so far this season what price would you say hadji wright is worth?
I appreciate your optimism but based on what you have seen so far this season what price would you say hadji wright is worth?How many perfect chances did our midfield create that any of the three should've scored today? Not suggesting they've played well, but all feeding off scraps.
Be careful, anything but optimism will get abuse.I appreciate your optimism but based on what you have seen so far this season what price would you say hadji wright is worth?
Had one wiped out todayOwn Goal is doing quite well to be fair to him.
Difficult to make out if it was justified from the other end of the groundHad one wiped out today
Still expecting moreExpecting more than that to be honest Higgs

£1m.I appreciate your optimism but based on what you have seen so far this season what price would you say hadji wright is worth?
Which would include Simms£1m.
I don't think spending £10m on a couple of strikers who can score tap-ins is really the best use of funds.How many perfect chances did our midfield create that any of the three should've scored today? Not suggesting they've played well, but all feeding off scraps.
I’m not sure Kitching was a panic buy, I got the impression we’d been looking at him for quite a while. I agree though, it’s bizarre with them both being on the bench and not sure the money has been spent wisely at all.Beginning to think Wright and Kitching were panic buys.
Simms I can understand the logic: proven at this level to a degree, staged fee, young, potential to improve; a calculated risk. That he hasn’t hit the groove yet is a bit surprising given his form last season in this division.
12m plus on Wright and Kitching to sit on the bench? Could have brought in 12 decent 1m prospects to pack the squad with decent cover and potential.
Maybe the fee we paid was a bit of a panic to get the deal done before the deadline, rather than the signing overallI’m not sure Kitching was a panic buy, I got the impression we’d been looking at him for quite a while.

At the moment 20 looks ambitious. On current form it is hard to envisage either getting into double figures. Let's hope they improve considerably and prove us wrong.The original point of the thread was too guess the combined goals total for Simms and Wright. I thought about 27.
The question now might be is 20 too ambitious?
I'd be happy if they finish above own goals tbf.The original point of the thread was too guess the combined goals total for Simms and Wright. I thought about 27.

That's isn't going to be enoughThey have 4 in 12 after pretty much sharing duties. That is the same as Viktor had after 12 games.
So if that job share continues you'd want them to be scoring 21 between them to match Vik
We have a big problem looming with these two - Robins has switched back to a lone striker system and is talking about how it suits Wright. But neither him nor Simms are in form, and neither of them will be content with sitting out most games - I’d be amazed if they signed under that proviso, at least. How long does it last until one of them gets seriously unhappy with their playing time?
I doubt Wright will complain if he doesn’t start games when he’s missing sitters like that.Forever. They’re both likely on the most they’ll be able to get anywhere and their earning potential won’t have improved.
Starting to think we should drop both of them and get Max back.
Satire.
I hope.

The obvious problem with your question is that you would always rather have one player in your first XI who can score 20 goals instead of two players who can score 10 - if it takes two players to replace one player's goal output then you have to make compromises elsewhere. Until recently we have been trying to accommodate two strikers who are struggling to score goals, and the whole tactical setup has been suffering as a result.We basically had 2 forwards last season who scored a combined 29.
This season we still have Godden, and Vik has been replaced by Wright + Simms with an extra £6-7 mil in the bank.
So far they have 9. If they get another 20 then surely that should be considered an excellent return?
Not sure it's a huge problem. Godden got a fair few games last season anyway, they can push each other(!) and if one really struggled to play they could go on loan January and hopefully do an Adebola for their City career rather than a Walker.We have a big problem looming with these two - Robins has switched back to a lone striker system and is talking about how it suits Wright.

If we send either Wright or Simms out on loan in January then it will be much, much more difficult to attract top players in the next summer window. Any player with options wants/needs to know their next manager will back them - farming out Wright or Simms sends out the message that we're not really bothered.Not sure it's a huge problem.
