What does it contradict? I'm well aware of his MPG you've bored most of us to death with your infallible argument enough for one afternoon. Having an MPG of 3.6 (all comps) this season doesn't mean if he started over a full season he's guaranteed to score 15ish goals, it's a very rough...

People aren't saying that though, you've just pulled that from thin air. The problem with Simms is that he simply can't be relied upon and that's been proven over an extended period. Even last season his form was erratic. A positive 14/15 game period was sandwiched in between a 1 game in 7...

I'm not discounting the goals, I've stated that already? That doesn't mean they're not anomalies in the data though. It was a significantly easier standard of opposition than what we traditionally come up against week on week by a long, long stretch. Any argument that claims MPG is bulletproof...

Not really. Ultimately, you can only score what's in front of you. But it's a rubbish metric to use for the point you're trying to prove, especially when there's complete anomalies such as a hattrick vs Maidstone in there. Hence why context needs to be applied to the data otherwise it's...

Personally I absolutely detest MPG as a metric. It completely lacks context.

This is my issue with the high line. Against teams which deploy a low block and go long I physically can't understand the logic in setting up that way. All you're doing is creating a massive chasm in the opponent's final third and placing greater pressure on the backline to clear up when balls...

Could that not be because BTA wants to go rather than Lampard wanting him to go? He seems like he's a player that wants to start week in week out rather than play second fiddle. I think there will be a conversation about what to do with the ST position in the summer. Simms has regressed...

Not sure it's the easier of the two. Both have been in decent form but Luton objectively have a better side than Plymouth and their directness and physicality is basically kryptonite to us. We've consistently looked uncomfortable against teams that put long balls into the their attacking third...

He did look over his shoulder. Which shows how little anticipation for danger he actually has.

His awareness and anticipation of the danger around him was poor though as stated. If you look back at the highlights he actually checks back before the ball is played, yet he does nothing to close the gap despite him recognising there's an opposition in space and a ball is about to be switched...

JDS played well but the chasm of space he kept on leaving on our left hand side was eventually exploited. He's come on leaps and bounds recently but defensively his awareness is appalling sometimes.

Always going to happen when you don't put away chances. Really poor.

Looking a bit lethargic now. The intensity has gone. Could really do with some new faces on to freshen things up.

Wright has been so ponderous today.

Poor awareness by Simms there you need to get literally any body part goal bound
