That’s so bang on, exactly my thoughts (apart from I’d give Wilson another game as he made some decent saves tbf).
More than anything I fucking wish we’d either drop 5 at the back completely or go back to the box. I’m utterly convinced this shitty formation doesn’t suit our team well at all.
Simms and Wright have been so unbelievably quiet for strikers that have scored numerous for their previous teams that I find it hard to believe that all of a sudden they’ve lost all ability, don’t get me wrong it certainly looks that way but I just can’t believe that’s actually what’s happened. I think they just don’t suit the way we’re playing, this tippy tappy possession shit that gets us nowhere. The strikers are always faced with at least 2 defenders to dribble round and I’m just not convinced that’s what Simms and Wright excel at.
'What they excel at' is a good question.
It isn't in the air because we have quite a lot of corners and I forget they exist because they pose zero threat.
Goalhanging and sniffing out goals? Nah that's Godden, they dont really seem hungry to get in the box at all.
It seems to be about strength and a short range surge to the edge of the box. Maybe a long range shot.
If they can hold the ball up better or slide a pass in to Godden or like that would be helpful. Even better surge into the box themselves.
Ps. Simms seems to have a lot more potential. Wright just gets himself in a cul de sac and loses the ball.
