How dare you comprehend a point on here, you fucking maniac.
Micky Quinn was another, didn't cover much ground, and wasn't the quickest, but was lethal in the penalty box
The problem we might well have with Haji this summer is hanging onto him. All this blame game stuff will not help in the slightest and he'll be very expensive to replace.The Haji hate on here, Twitter and Facebook is hilarious. Feel sorry for the guy. Imagine uprooting your family, turning up at a club off the back of a World Cup, being top scorer in your first season in English football, scoring a huge goal with a great finish to send us to Wembley Semi, to then score a monumentally high pressure penalty in the Semi in front of millions. Start your second season on fire. Get injured. Come back and ultimately STILL finish top scorer with 12 in 29 and the 3rd highest PPG after Piroe and Sargent in the league.
Yet continuously get pelters from the fanbase about work rate and his entire career here based off of “yeh but he was shit in that one game where I thought he’d turn up”. All in his unfavoured position aswell playing LW. Sakamoto (who I love) in the same position on the opposite side doesn’t even come close to Haji’s output, but is the fanbases child.
It really is embarrassing on all platforms. The guy is the most 2 footed natural finisher we have had for many years.
What was Jesus doing in nick?Alot of people find religion later on in life, I remember Roy Slater finding Jesus in nick

Absolutely spot on. Some morons said they’d accept less than his market value as wellThe Haji hate on here, Twitter and Facebook is hilarious. Feel sorry for the guy.

Andy Morrell was garbage weren't he. Some fans cheered more for him chasing a lost cause than they did for a lot of Stern John's goalsI know he can blow hot and cold, but I wonder what our fans deserve sometimes.
“We want a 20 goal a season striker”…. We’ve actually got one?
What exactly do we want from a striker?
stern John got the same - just cos he didn’t run around a lot like Andy morrell.
Sounds like another one of our strikers todayAndy Morrell was garbage weren't he. Some fans cheered more for him chasing a lost cause than they did for a lot of Stern John's goals
If someone showed you this about a striker we’d been linked with or were potentially signing we’d all be licking our lips with excitement…
I agree he goes missing for periods but I’d rather have him at the club, then try replace the goals he’s scores, could be very costly in more than one way!

I mean don’t get me wrong, watching the Champions League final the other night, there are players out there that do it all, but they cost €75m each……Andy Morrell was garbage weren't he. Some fans cheered more for him chasing a lost cause than they did for a lot of Stern John's goals

Defenders might aswell have rolled out the red carpet for him
He looked like the same as those Bayern players scoring 10 against the mighty Auckland City.He looked enthralled at scoring there
That's the kind of goal he scored in 23 24 for us, cutting in from the left. Unfortunately EMC can only play left and Haji is criticised for being poor through the middle. If we had a better striker than Simms he wouldn't play there and he'd be appreciated more.
I’m not convinced scoring that against a clapped out Trinidad side proves much. Wright’s issue is his consistency or lack thereof.I was going to make exactly those points.
We need to keep Haji if we can and replace Simms with a decent striker. The only problem with this is that I think EMC would be a luxury if he is just cover for Haji.
EMC did have that good spell when he scored a few goals. Could he play as a striker? I rather suspect not but wonder if its worth giving it a go in pre-season.
It was more about the type of goal rather than the goal itself, although I agree the opposition wasn't strong.I’m not convinced scoring that against a clapped out Trinidad side proves much. Wright’s issue is his consistency or lack thereof.
Agree on Simms
He needs a high line and to be ‘on it’ to score those goals.It was more about the type of goal rather than the goal itself, although I agree the opposition wasn't strong.

Agree on Simms
That or just having a higher floor, when he’s off it he’s…really off it.I agree that the goal against Trinidad proved little but he is a proven goalscorer in the Championship.
A greater level of consistency would be a bonus but if he can carry on scoring at the rate of twenty over a full season then you won’t hear me complain.
Kane, Haaland, Cole also struggle. It's bloody difficult against 11 men behind the ball. Movement, overlapping width and 2 very creative no 10s can work but virtually impossible the higher quality the opposition is.He's a brilliant player with space in behind.
When he's closely marked or teams sit deep, he struggles.
Perhaps this is one advantage of us scoring so many from crosses into the box. Unfortunately that puts Wright at a disadvantage if he can’t make a success of playing down the middle.Kane, Haaland, Cole also struggle. It's bloody difficult against 11 men behind the ball.

This is without question one of the best if not THE best critically broken down responses to the questioning of a player I have ever read on SBT.The Haji hate on here, Twitter and Facebook is hilarious.

Yet they scored 19 each season before.Wright isn't the problem: Simms is. He has all the attributes but often puts in timid performances. Sell him, get the right man alongside Wright (!), I'm confident Wright would get 20 odd goals for us again.
