This is why I don't slag players off on here.
“I genuinely think Simms will be fine. Hes hardly played any mins. I actually gave faith in Simms and think hes the real deal. When he scores 1 he will be on a roll.
Simms looks more of a footballer than Wright.
Wright is just massive gamble which is looking like a complete and utter waste of Gyokores money.”
“Wright wouldnt score 20 in league 1 mate. Hes got no consistency to his game. He doesnt know what his bread n butter is.”
“Big issue is when it's not working for you or the team you have to put yourself about do the basic minimum. At least let the defenders know your there! He offered nothing. His shooting whilst leaning back is awfull something a school kid wouldn't do.
I'm struggling to see the positives. When honestly I have searched for them long and hard.”
“Great work from Dean Austin. Haji Wright bargain of the season. defenses around the championship shitting themselves about our record signing.
He wouldn't look put of place in league 2.”
“I wish they did call me before they spunked £12M. On Kitching and Wright.
Would have saved the club £10M. In money they will never get back.”
“Simms has so much more to his game than Wright and is light years ahead of him in every department.
No comparison between Simms and Wright. Simms has single handedly changed games this season.
Huddersfield at home his shot that won us that game from crossbar.
Simms was excellent vs QPR and again again when he come on as Sub at Preston.
Wright is only playing as hes our record marquee signing, and Robin's is clearly trying to polish a turd every week.”
“Simpleton fans think scoring two tap ins that even he couldnt miss, paves over the shocking display over 98 mins.
Simms did more offensively in 20 mins than haji has in many many games.”
“This guy has.
No strength.
No first touch.
Cant hold the ball up.
Cant head the ball.
Cant stay on side.
Missed a sitter...so cant score.
His technique is very bad.
He actually doesnt know what he wants to do with the ball.”

What could the keeper do?Has nobody ever seen a goal back and thought the keeper was pretty poor about it? Again for the thousandth time, this isn’t to slag off the scorer - everyone will ignore this part though.
I was actually more impressed by the first,to actually take it in and toe poke on the outside of his boot into the corner rather than across the goal was exemplary thinking for me!They were both great finishes and that second goal is the best goal he’s scored this season not that it matters as a goal is a goal they all count for the same, he has a class ability to really whip a shot and curl it the second for the US and the winner against Wolves pop into mind
Tommo this is the biggest load of nonsense since you said we should upgrade on Torp at the start of the year
2 great finishes, but the first was definitely the best for my money, it gave the keeper no time to adjust himself.I was actually more impressed by the first,to actually take it in and toe poke on the outside of his boot into the corner rather than across the goal was exemplary thinking for me!
Wright basically off the graph, even if it was cropped to exclude him BTA would then be the best in the league!They’ve had to double the length of the axis to get Haji on there
Wright is currently orbiting Jupiter on that graph.They’ve had to double the length of the axis to get Haji on there
Has Whittaker still not scored a league goal for Boro? He massively overperformed his xG for Plymouth
It's all down to the goalies being useless of course.Wright is currently orbiting Jupiter on that graph.
You just wait until they find out Haji is black.250 million Americans and 100m immigrants
Always be sceptical of teams/players that overperform xG and so on. Look at Manning at Norwich, now starting to perform close to the ‘underlying data’ whereas last season he was an over performer. There will be some players/teams that will tend to over perform (e.g. long range specialists) but as a rule of thumbs, players/teams generally sit around where the data points too. Simms + Wright in particular underperformed last season and have started the season ‘on track’ statistically.Has Whittaker still not scored a league goal for Boro?

Where did all the Americans come from in the first place lol, not the US.You just wait until they find out Haji is black.
Except something was wrong for a significant portion of the season, now seems to rectified.Always be sceptical of teams/players that overperform xG and so on.

This season we’re actually performing in line with ‘the data’. The xG table suggested we should’ve been fighting for automatics last season.
Undoubtedly, Lampard has made some tactical tweaks that’s had an impact. We haven’t conceded a goal from open play this season - they‘ve all been set pieces. Compare that to last season…Except something was wrong for a significant portion of the season, now seems to rectified.

Even despite the end to last season, from Xmas we were the 3rd best team in the division so there were strong indications we have a Top 4 team capable of competing for automatics.
Personally, I think the squad depth will catch up to us so my hope is that we’re proactive in January to sign 2-3 players.
BTA started to follow Haji, because he's a bit lonely out there on his own lolThey’ve had to double the length of the axis to get Haji on there
Look at the state of that lolBTA started to follow Haji, because he's a bit lonely out there on his own lol
Will Haji be jet lagged? Think that is a more important than the rest, although I think the Sleep Coach will be all over this.Agree if he plays. I think it will be player's choice and I guess he'll want to start so that should seal it, but depends when (today presumably) he lands back in the UK, rest and recovery then some light training tomorrow. Probably can't really answer it until Saturday morning.
A few weeks ago that would have scared the hell out of me, but with BTA in form, Ellis coming off the bench to score a couple of goals, then if he does have to be benched and come on late, I think I'd be less concerned now.
I stand corrected! Counted 8 goals rather than 9.Hate to be pedantic but we have, vs Norwich.
BumpGet him gone in the summer.
When you spend so much money to be so mediocre, you need a lot of copium. They’ve spent at least £25m on strikers (just Kyogo and Stansfield) and those two will struggle to get 20 goals between them. My view has always been that it’ll go tits up at Blues and the backlash will be nasty.A Birmingham fan on twitter is still insisting that kyogo is better and he’d rather have him. The thick twat got salty when I pointed out Wright has scored as many as their entire team
No point in telling them mate, Haji could score 6 goals at St. Andrews while Kyogo could miss an open goal 6 times and they'd still insist Kyogo is the better strikerA Birmingham fan on twitter is still insisting that kyogo is better and he’d rather have him.

FTFY.A plastic, bandwagon Birmingham fan on twitter is still insisting that kyogo is better and he’d rather have him. The thick twat got salty when I pointed out Wright has scored as many as their entire team
