Make sure? It was really obvious it was going in. What if he had strayed off side and it was ruled out. I'm not sure you need to risk it there.Nonsense I want every striker to do that and make sure and want to score goals
It was a good way in from the post I'd say between half a meter and a meter. My worry is if he's strayed offside and we lose a perfectly good goal. Just felt unnecessary to me!No guarantee it doesn’t hit the post and stay out

I may be being harsh I just found it an unnecessary thing to do but I guess in the heat of the game it may feel different. I think Sims will come good too I'm not doubting that.No risk of offside at all, he was always behind Haji

You're right of course but as an individual game it's difficult not to be disappointed. Staying 3 points from play offs would have felt nice. Tough game vs Boro, let's hope Robins has a plan to deal with them again.Upon reflection its been a great 10 game period for us .. 19 points from the last 10 and a fantastic festive period ..
If it had hit the post and he hadn't followed in his career would be over with the abuse he would have got on here.It was a good way in from the post I'd say between half a meter and a meter. My worry is if he's strayed offside and we lose a perfectly good goal. Just felt unnecessary to me!

I do think our strikers are struggling to adapt to our new system and style of play but Simms has the attributes to make that transition.This is the view of a proffesional player / fan
I didn’t mention his touches ??
Attacking quickly on the break is exactly why Godden looks so poor. He hasn't got the legs for it. He is a box predator not a player who takes others on.I do think our strikers are struggling to adapt to our new system and style of play but Simms has the attributes to make that transition.
I don’t think the system explains Goddens ineffectiveness. He was the same for much of last season when we played a very different way.

1 doesn't get the game time. The other is too slow for our present style of play.We have 2 strikers , both different types of players , both struggling to impact matches .. both having minimal touches , neither being used to link , both not recieving the ball in the box to feet
Maybe this system need a juke type forward? We get some great crosses in tbh
He's never been a favourite on here, but people are as quick to forget that him coming back actually improved us earlier in the season, boosted our tempo, and got us playing as more of a cohesive unit. I get the point about role but...Allen - always thought he's better further forward, too often looks like a lost child when he plays in that middle 2. With the return of O'Hare and the continued improvement of Palmer I'm unsure when these leaves Allen tbh. First Swansea goal was an absolutely horrendous error from him.
I'm not sure it's that simple , wright is playing a position and style that suits him.1 doesn't get the game time. The other is too slow for our present style of play.
What we need to do is rest Godden. Give game time to Simms. He will improve given time. Just like Wright has.
To be fair mate that angle doesn’t show anything it’s not going straight towards the goal. Obviously it was going in though im not disputing that.View attachment 33032
I just thought looking at this angle it's pretty easy to see. I get the differing views though and the fact I could be being harsh. I just see potential off sides or toe poking it over the bar which would kill his career here more.
We've paid out so much money on him surely we have to give him the game time to see if he can get better and develop.I'm not sure it's that simple , wright is playing a position and style that suits him.
Some forwards DONT get better with game time
But he’s not doing it consistently and yes we paid good money for him and he will be on a good contract but talking money how much is made from promotion dwarfs his bit.We've paid out so much money on him surely we have to give him the game time to see if he can get better and develop.
Godden was abysmal last night, didn't think it was possible but Simms was worse when he came on.
He didn't do it last night but at least you would think Simms has the attributes to match the defenders physically if he applies himself correctly.
I well remember the diminutive Scottish international midfielder Willie Carr scoring a hat trick against West Brom when played at centre forward. Mind you, that was well before the Premier League and Sky so probably doesn’t count.He’s not a striker. These are professional footballers that spend years honing a craft and becoming experts in a position. Assuming that a player who has never ever played as a striker will somehow miraculously be better at it than players who play there week in week out is just stupid.
‘He’s got the build’ tells me everything I need to know about this ridiculous statement what ‘build?’

Fair enough! I'm obviously being harsh but id be pissed off if I was wright. They did a freeze of when he touched the ball and it's half way over the line. Thought Wright deserved a brace.To be fair mate that angle doesn’t show anything it’s not going straight towards the goal. Obviously it was going in though im not disputing that.
Strikers love scoring goals. Simms is desperate to score goals, and he didn’t know if there was a player right behind him or whatever. Right thing to do and I’d do it the same way myself a million times over lol
How did Godden look in the match?How's he looked in training this week?
I don't think their attributes are at all similar. Wright is much faster and his first touch is usually far superior. He can beat players with speed or skill. Simms first touch is often really poor.Simms has similar attributes to Wright. Both can strike the ball well and both are quick. Wright's first touch is probably a bit better. Both are not showing enough strength on the ball or in the air.
The difference is that playing on the left, Wright is coming up against less physical and shorter defenders and his confidence is up.
When Simms has moved to the right side he has shown he can go past players.
I imagine in the summer there will be a lot of strength work going on for the pair of them.
Of course some don't. But he is still young and they know what they're doing at the club. Look at Gyokeres. The normal suspects called him a waste of 1m and couldn't understand why we bought him. Time on the training ground and game time made him into a beast. Hamer went from a liability to something special.I'm not sure it's that simple , wright is playing a position and style that suits him.

Alternatively look at Walker, who we seem to have done a fine job of trashing his career!Look at Gyokeres.
Worse than poor to be honestHow did Godden look in the match?
He proved to not be good enough.Alternatively look at Walker, who we seem to have done a fine job of trashing his career!
Yeh I’d also be fucking fuming if I was WrightFair enough! I'm obviously being harsh but id be pissed off if I was wright. They did a freeze of when he touched the ball and it's half way over the line. Thought Wright deserved a brace.
