Would love to be wrong but Wright is a mistake for me. He’s not sharp at all.

I agree, though a strong indicator of who Lampard wants plays through the middle when everyone's fit.

Legia Sky Blue · 2025-03-15T14:06:06+0000

Andrews? Have we cut short his loan?

TomRad85 · 2025-03-15T14:06:39+0000

Team looks about as good as we can put put atm to me. Simms has been poor recently so I really don't see the harm in sticking Wright there.

Andrews?

shmmeee · 2025-03-15T14:06:52+0000

Really would have left Wright until after the break to start and not convinced by him in the middle. He’ll score a hat trick now of course.

Not sure Sheaf is defending anything in the air from a set piece.

Injured again.

And that relates to my post how? Weird response

TomRad85 · 2025-03-15T14:10:59+0000

Wrights a quality player. He needs minutes. I'd rather he got them in place of Simms than EMC right now.

skybluecam · 2025-03-15T14:11:13+0000

LB has to be our top priority for the summer btw

Can’t believe I’m seeing JDS on the team sheet and agreeing he’s the best option

What a ridiculous team, full of dwarfs. No chance at defending set pieces. Need sheaf back asap

It's pretty related to what you posted.

Lot of pressure on Wright to deliver now, in a new position whilst looking rustier than a 10 year old Leyland Sherpa. I would have gone with Simms personally.

skybluecb · 2025-03-15T14:13:06+0000

Not surprised to see Bidwell, and Eccles not starting, but not sure about Simms. Yeah hasn't been at his best last few games but having seen Wright's performance on Tuesday I am not sure what Lampard has seen to pick him up front over Simms, very odd. Hope I am wrong but I think Lampard has made a mistake

Added that its his natural position ofcourse where hes scored most his goals

Nick · 2025-03-15T14:13:36+0000

Their line up.

If Wright leaves his foot in on O'Nien in the first 10 minutes we might be in for a game.

So needing sheaf back from injury to play ahead of Allen would mean we had extra height to defend set pieces. Do you disagree? Strange post

Well, he must have looked okay in training I guess.

Unless maybe Simms is now carrying a knock.

Yeah, let's hope he's been doing stuff in training.

If he plays like he has the last couple of appearances we may as well have nobody up there, we have also lost Simms defending corners.

Northants Sky Blue · 2025-03-15T14:14:29+0000

Allen with the armband.

Big games needed from him, JDS and Wright

He should be doing this not Ben Wilson.

But sheaf is injured so

fatso · 2025-03-15T14:16:35+0000

Very suprised to see Wright get a start after his Derby performance.

Hopefully Simms gets on after an hour and is in the mood to prove a point.

Can't argue with Allen getting a start over Eccles either tbf.

It's the hope that kills you.

Is the captain decided by pulling straws every week?

It would seem think we have had 6 different captains this season

clint van damme · 2025-03-15T14:22:28+0000

They did, until Sheaf pulled one and was out for 2 weeks

Sick Boy · 2025-03-15T14:22:32+0000

Interesting lineup... It feels overly harsh on Simms.

Legia Sky Blue · 2025-03-15T14:22:52+0000

Someone put up a joke team in the style of the official announcement which has now been deleted, It included Binks, had Eccles as Captain and a front 3 of Asante, Bassette & Wright. Saka & Andrews were on the bench!

Starting again for Motherwell today, the lads smashing it up tu norf.

Sheaf lost his man for the set piece that caused Stoke to equalise.

Stick to getting your takes from FotMob.

Simms played like a total pussy against Derby, and has been a bit suspect in general. Wright was of course worse in that game, but has the excuse of being just back from four months out.

Arguably that front three today could be our best attacking three in the squad. I'm not against giving Wright a go, but to be honest I don't expect a huge amount just yet. Will be interesting to see the outcome today.

Nick · 2025-03-15T14:39:36+0000

The warm up is not a good watch.

I know it's not the match but Wright looks terrible

I'll wager that washbag's ne'er been afloat in a storm with sixteen shipwrecked mariners tossing in it.
