Id gladly not see Simms jogging around and half heartedly jumping to miss every header again. He ain’t good enough and/or doesn’t have the drive. Stealing a living. Wright at least got stuck in, won stuff in the air and turned his man a few times.
Collins, well, its all been said. Has to be our...
As with all/most of players, he needs a run of 10 - 15 starts before you can judge. See JDS as the most recent example. Although I do think that run might be best served elsewhere as he won’t get it here anytime soon. Ten minutes here and there isn’t doing his development any good.
MVE seems to have hit that week in week out level of excellence to show he is a class above. Although he needs to take the shot and put his laces through it rather than passing. Think he has edged Wright now as the next big money sale.
Frustrating given the chances. In hindsight we should’ve shut up shop… although I was willing a second to make it comfortable. Didn’t fancy us to score going into the final moments with Simms and Wright taken off. Beat West Brom and it doesn't matter. Think we will get there but make it difficult.
I think there was a case for bringing Simms in tomorrow and moving Wright out left anyway. Although personally I would’ve persisted with EMC against the sides coming up. And a fully fit Sheaf starts over Torp. The massive blow is one of Binks or Lati for Thomas.
Incredible ending and so pleased for Patterson. It wasn’t pretty but they stuck with it and the switch to two up top and long balls was spot on. Chuffed for Collins too, he looked a lot more composed and his distribution was excellent. Clean sheet will do him the world of good.
This and the...
