That 34p must look rather tempting.
And it stays as a nice pocket of space as their defenders become more concerned about putting their hands in the airif you watch his movement for the goal its pretty good. starts off on the right and then just drifts to centre and finds a nice pocket of space
You say finishing but he’s scoring a goal every other game. Vik missed some absolute sitters, Haaland is top of the chances missed table in the PL, good strikers miss more than bad strikers cos bad strikers don’t get the chance to miss.
Gyokeres wasn’t an out and out finisher which is why he had the most ‘big chance’ misses in the Championship in consecutive seasons. I don’t think anyone would say Gyokeres was a better finisher than Godden last year.For me his work rate isn't the issue, and neither is his tracking back etc. He works hard enough, but just doesn't posses the necessary skill set, for example, a decent finisher would of gone home with the match ball from the Millwall game last Saturday.
We are needing to create far too many chances for the Strikers we have to score.
And I (obviously) include Godden and Simms when I say we are poor upfront despite the massive investment.
Bloke on my row was taking it particularly hard that he'd scored and was playing alright. Gave him shit when it went wrong, like miscontrolling it, which is fair enough. But after he scored and was doing good things like the interplay in the corner, running with the ball, beating a man he would loudly and sarcastically shout things like "Ohhh what a monster!", "Oh what a great player he is!"
I remember Reading at home last season and it felt like Gyokeres had missed 4 clear cut chances -

It’s pretty clear that the volume of chances is more important and frankly, Wright will get better, as will Simms. Both looked good last night and the improvement will come.
Writing off 22-25 year old players is a bit silly - they tend to develop and improve with time.
Then called cwr as soon as he got out the ground by the sounds of it.
One of the best things about Gyokeres was that missing chances didn’t seem to bother him. Onto the next chance…
Mentally very strong which is needed especially as a striker or keeper for that matter
He looks average/okay on the left wing, still poor for £8M and has been supported by the reintroduction of Bidwell to make us more defensively solid whilst Wright refuses to track back. He’s hitting a bit of form which we badly needed but let’s not pretend he wasn’t stinking the place out before.
Agreed, for £8m I’m expecting you to stand out in this league and be a class above and currently he’s not, he’s scored a couple but often looks woeful, including last night.

Why though? £8m for a 20 a season striker is cheap at this level.
If he gets 20 goals for us this season I will be very shocked

I don’t see why the fee is relevant to supporters. That’s King and the banks’ issue. Even more bizarre is saying Godden shouldn’t be measured in the same way as he cost less. Does that mean Eccles can be abysmal every game?

Is it? The current top scorer cost the same as Gyokeres - I don’t think other than Armstrong any of the top 10 scorers in this league cost anything like that so it’s a nonsense statement
What can you sell a 20 goal striker from this division for?
Akpom, vik, ndiaye, piroe, tella all went for big money to name 5Is it? The current top scorer cost the same as Gyokeres - I don’t think other than Armstrong any of the top 10 scorers in this league cost anything like that so it’s a nonsense statement

That’s because we massively over paid for himThat wasn’t what you said. You said you have to pay that much to get a 20 goal striker. Wright currently wouldn’t attract a transfer fee of £8 million if we tried to sell him

Matty Godden by the same measure wiukd be a 20 goal striker - so his he worth £8 million?
Where do you get them fromBloke behind me hates him, he's in his late 30s and calls him all sorts of insults - but at half time I overheard his conversation about how he has 3 phones enabling him to get an edge when playing Pokemon Go. Pretty hard to take an insult seriously from that level of virgin, but that's what we're dealing with.
No I didn’t. Your reading comprehension is failing you again. I said “£8m for a 20 goal a season striker is cheap”
You are performing survivorship bias on top scorers and saying they didn’t cost much, but ignoring all those that cost the same and aren’t top scorers. We needed a ready made replacement for a 20 goal striker, not a gamble like say Szmodics.
You look at value after the fact. If at the end of the season he’s got 20 then he’s worth the £8m cos he got an instant return. Other players giving a higher return or over a longer period is irrelevant to that calculation.
You’re embarrassing yourself now

In what way was he woeful? He was our most dangerous player and went on to get the winner. It’s baffling the agenda you weirdos have against himAgreed, for £8m I’m expecting you to stand out in this league and be a class above and currently he’s not, he’s scored a couple but often looks woeful, including last night.

Reminds me of him and Gyo colliding with each other when through on goal at BlackburnWright’s movement is quality. I remember watching Biamou make runs where he actually got in other peoples way but some think he’s better than Wright
He did it quite a few times. He loved a spectacular goal but his football intelligence was woeful.Reminds me of him and Gyo colliding with each other when through on goal at Blackburn
