Some irony to that, given how many chances he has also missed…particularly against Leicester of course

There's a player in wright but needs 3months of graft in training and looks to be the kind of bloke that needs to clean his own boots and kit for a while.

In fairness to Wright, and this won't be a popular opinion, I actually thought he offered a bit more than Simms when working the channels and perhaps added a bit of energy when he came on. But the miss was hideous I'm afraid.
Anyone who thinks Godden doesn't add anything except goals, presumably didn't notice some of the clever work he did outside the box tonight.
The problem is that we need him in the box anyway because no other bugger seems likely to score!
All that said, if Godden gets twenty goals this season and spends 85 minutes in a deck chair every game, that's good enough for me. Our problems like elsewhere, imho.

He shrugged but I think that just screamed low confidence and searching, dreaming, of an excuse.

Closing in on 2 months without a win if we fail to get one at QPR. He isn’t the only one wishing he was somewhere else.

They hadn't. They were largely unknown until last season and never really got their names round until xmas.

Switching both your wing backs while hanging on at 1-0 up with two minutes to play is just appalling management.

Especially as sorba Thomas was giving us issues when he came on.
Still, like for like subs though.

Don’t feel like a buzz this year at all - Norwich might murder us in a couple weeks

Fair enough mate. I doubt there's many on here who haven't lost it watching City at some point. It's good to let it all out from time to time.

Absolutely, and was still one of our weaker players.

I genuinely just don’t think we’re very good to be honest

I still can’t explain how he put it over the bar from there. It looked far easier to score.
Combined with the wastes of space in defence he’s cost us 2 points

But we should be bringing in better players, particularly with the budget we have, and players that have been key in the past move into a rotational role. I know this is going to take some time but none of our new signings have made a serious impact yet and we've left ourself woefully under covered in the middle.
Wright on current form just looks like a ludicrous waste of money. We panicked about and over spent on Kitching who now can't get a game because Binks is playing well and we're left with a midfield two way below on quality.
The recruitment just hasn't felt joined up at all and now we've got a lopsided squad with too many expensive gambles.
It's going to be a long season.
I'm assuming the bit about wright adding more is a joke? Simms plays a more central role but his energy got the goal for us and seemed the only outlet. Godden was bang average tonight and didn't hold up the ball as needed.

He wasn't ready for it, was on his heels and so it ended up under his foot and high high in the sky for a field goal.

I will also add Robins will get complete support from me and the majority of supporters even if we do have a terrible season but he needs to show he's a manager that can work with an expensively assembled squad and motivate the players.
He's just as to blame as the rest at the moment, his game management has to improve.

That midfield pairing of Kelly and Eccles just is not good enough for all the effort they put in. Going to get dragged into a relegation battle if this goes on and it’s just not forgivable.

I thought Wright made us brighter too. Bad miss of course though . This insistence on 2,strikers though is bewildering. It didn’t work last season either.

It's must be the worst midfield in the division. No disrespect to them.

Don’t blame him - must be thinking what he’s done wrong and now we are leaking goals everywhere and creating nothing

When Wright came on we were under the cosh, I would've been tempted to bring Simms off (or even Godden) and sure up the midfield a bit
Only caught the 2nd half but for the last part of it, we were shocking. Seemed nobody could really be arsed. First touch of a few were terrible. He does need time, but Wright had a stinker, that feeble cross in the last few mins just seemed to epitomise the the whole team performance/effort from what I’ve seen.
We just don’t look that exciting, well drilled side from last season. Fair enough we’ve got a lot of new players that need to gel, but from what I’ve seen tonight, that was terrible.
Got faith in Robins to turn it around, but massive questions need to be asked of the recruitment department imo.

Ayari needs to play himself into the Hamer role or Allen needs to be in there for the energy.
Those two are too low on quality and have far too little energy.
Eccles in particular struggles past the hour, to leave them on for the full game while changing the fullbacks was criminal.
