Strikers (23 Viewers)

Simms was scoring regularly and generally playing well, earning him Championship player of the month. He should have kept the shirt and Wright should have had to prove from the bench why he deserved to be a starter. This wasn't the case.
As I have said before, Thomas-Asante gives us fluidity and flexibility when playing wide or a 10, which makes us far less predictable offensively. He helps the striker by creating space through his play. We miss him.

If Wilder’s comments, when they signed Bamford, are to be believed then we’re planning to make a striker statement signing in January…

Wright’s body language has been off the last few games - coincidence, perhaps, but could also be that he knows he’s not going to be the main man anymore - if it’s linked to our January plans, you’d think / hope he would be trying to prove he’s un-droppable!

How long can we have strikers who don’t score? Surely they need competition because they are coasting at the moment.

Simms was scoring for fun, got players of the month award, then dropped! Why?

When I think of some of the poor buggers who have had dogs abuse over the years I'm amazed how much slack Wright and Simms are cut. I'd take a striker who might score a couple less than Wright but was a consistent thorn in the side of the opposition defence, giving them something to think about and creating opportunities for others. With Wright its a short purple patch to up the stats them long periods of nothing. Can't have that in a potential automatic promotion campaign

No idea , why you think this is partly Simms fault. 6 goals, in 7, player of the month, then gets dropped..Now gets 10 minutes, a game

Great. And over the nearly 3 seasons?

Fairly sure him/his agent expected a brief stay here followed by a juicy premier league move. Think he is more than ready to move on

Just irrelevant

Simms was scoring, 6 in 7. Then Frank dropped him.
