It has already been said on here that we expect players to be hungry.

Very good.It has already been said on here that we expect players to be hungry.
Agreed! I don’t get the 180 on Simms. I'm baffled at how people say Wright’s touch is poor when it is noticeably better than Simms is.I'm not saying he's been brilliant, but I can see why we signed him. I know it's getting to be a bit of a tired cliché around here but Gyokeres was utter shite for many more games than Haji has played for us. I couldn't see how he was a footballer, let alone someone we signed during his loan period with us. Simms is another, worse than Wright in all but the Huddersfield game, and all of a sudden, he has changed a lot of people's minds in 1 game.
Or we could do like with Wright and spend it all on one player who doesn't make the grade. I think we could've got a couple of players for £2-3m with a similar ability level and it gives us a bit of breathing space in case one doesn't work out then there's still the chance of the other. It remains to be seen if the same will be true of Kitching, but again I was a bit worried about the size of the fee.We have the money to sign 2-3 more players anyway, with or without the money spent on Wright. We just fucked about too much.

For someone who supposedly can't head a ball and doesn't know where the back of the net is, he gave a fucking brilliant impersonation of someone who does in these clips.
Get off his back and wait until he starts getting a decent supply rather than scraps before writing him off.
Goals dont tell the whole story however. There are many forwards who aren't prolific but are vital to the team as they make up for it by excelling with other attributes.It's a real shame Haji's shot against Leicester didn't go in instead of rattling the crossbar, his goal against Middlesboro would have meant 2 goals in under an hour of championship football. It's fine margins, but what a start that would have been and would have probably enabled him to really kick on instead of the way things have gone downhill for him since.
Absolutely, we are literally like Burnley under Sean Dyche, backs to the wall defending, don’t you dare create a chance, we’ll draw this game 0-0 if it kills me!I'll judge him when he's getting proper service from midfield rather than playing in front of the dullest setup in the division.
He doesn't need to be Gyok just a top end championship striker.He's not Gyok though.
Your can't compare anyone to Gyok, that would be unfair. You can only judge a player on what you see, and at the moment both Wright and Simms are struggling. Sure they might both improve, but we've seen very little talent from either of them so far, and although Simms showed a big improvement in the first half against Huddersfield, he still needs to push on.
Yes he's faster than any striker we have had for a long time. Needs to work on his stamina I suspect. In bursts he looks real quality.One moment where he flew past the centre half. He needs to look to do that. He's bigger, stronger and faster than any defender in this league. Needs to believe himself.
Admit that was strange, perhaps not up on the dark arts of the game, bet MR & Adi were pulling their hair out.Bizarre at the end there, got the ball in acres of space, defenders tired and he puts in such a weak effort.
He looks so lacking in self belief.Admit that was strange, perhaps not up on the dark arts of the game, bet MR & Adi were pulling their hair out.
I remember MR saying a few seasons back that some players that were still developing needed to believe in themselves more.He looks so lacking in self belief.
He definitely has pace to burn but only rarely puts on the accelerator. Also hits the ball with power in the warm up but produces tame efforts in games. Needs working with I thinkI remember MR saying a few seasons back that some players that were still developing needed to believe in themselves more.
From what @Saddlebrains has said, and what I've seen of Wright and Simms, self-belief is lacking. If MR can knock some into them, sorted.
Just rewatched his goal from a different angle and it was a very good header.
Hopefully he can kick on after that goal.
However towards the end when Godden had gone off and he was up front on his own, balls were being cleared from defence and he was absolutely nowhere near them. Adi was going nuts.
