Haji has spent the equivalent of 9 games on the field and has scored 4 goal not a bad return for a player trying to settle in a new team in a new country.I've found Simms game disappointing in that he doesn't seem to play to his strengths ie gets out muscled and appears slower than what I thought.Like I said previously who will sell a good striker in the window no one unless you pay over the odds.Please give tham time.
Yeah fair, but I don’t see many people going after Godden in the same way they’ve gone after Simms/Wright. I realise Godden is not a record signing but he’s not been scoring recently either, my point being if even Mr. Clinical himself isn’t scoring then it can’t just be down to the strikers.
Haji Wright is 25 and played in 5 different countries
I think Wright has been ok. Simms is the concern but if course I agree we need to give them time. That means we need reinforcements in the meantime. It's unfair to keep playing them when they need time, especially Simms.
No wonder he’s struggling to settle then ffs
Probably a reason why he’s played in 5 different countries….
The issues remain across the whole team really. Defence conceding poor goals, midfield too lacking in dynamism and the forwards wasting good chances.
They really bloody are!
No they don't. Stats don't tell the full story. Our play has been disjointed at best this season. Chances have come and been missed but it is undeniable there is a huge Hamer shaped hole in the center of our team. Sheaf and Eccles cant preform that role of springing defence to attack like Gus did. we don't have anyone who can be that pivot. its mental we didn't go for someone even if Gus stayed as its so crucial.
I dont pretend that Wright in particular hasnt missed some sitters but that is not the point. Apart from that abomination against WBA they have all been snatched chances. shit happens
Either way you cut it then we'll be golden in Jan with some midfield recruits adding even more chances to are already blistering play
. Quit moaning it is exhausting

I just say it how I see it.
That's where I disagree. Yes, some of the chances have been difficult and we'd clearly be better with someone of Hamer's ability in the middle, but I can think of two or three for ALL THREE strikers that should, for a striker at this level, been put away. I don' think we've created less 'good' chances than last season for example. Quite a few Gyokeres had to make those chances himself.
Off the top of my head, ignoring Godden’s penalty:
You said they Sunderland were an average team and I mentioned he was playing alongside Diallo. You don't get many players of his ability at this level and it's highly unlikely that we can find one.BINGO he had some decent service and did his job. Shocker!
Stats don't tell the full story if they don't support your view eh?
My favourite was when Wright had a shot on goal at Wimbledon and the ball literally when outside the stadium. Not once but twice.
Blimey it should be a good atmosphere then. Why have they suddenly started following there team, I’ve been about 6 times and it’s always been half empty.
Quite like this from Peckham Lion on their forum.
