Yes I must admit my perception is that he tries harder than Simms.
Yes I must admit my perception is that he tries harder than Simms.My Opinion is Wright has been poor but when he came on against Rotherham i watched him very closely ,he was the only player making runs and pointing where it needed to go and on every occasion the ball was never played to him, the player cant play if the correct balls are never played by are midfield etc. By this time Simms was not running for anything just standing knowing running was a waste of effort. We need to play some early balls to Wright I think to see him in a better light.
Shipping out Wright after 12 games would be one thing, and something you could explain away with homesickness etc….Doing the same thing with multiple signings in the space of one window is a great way to tell future transfer targets and their agents that we’re an unserious and unreliable partner to deal with. It would be a disaster for our reputation.

This is true and by the same token Robins needs to take ownership of his decision to spend a small fortune on two strikers.
He has to back his judgement and give Wright and Simms a run of games.
I don’t think we needed to buy another keeper this window (you almost never need to play your backup and we still have Moore) but Collins was cheap, we had the cash, and the expectation is that he will become the #1 eventually.I’m not serious (well, maybe about Collins, seems a waste and I refuse to believe we can’t find a better all round keeper than Wilson).

Thomas has been shaky lately but I think he has potential and £2 million is a fair price for a player like that, a gamble we can afford to take. No need for serious questions about either player imo. Different story for Wright, and for Kitching if he doesn’t get into the side soon.

I think Wright and quite possibly Kitching were horrendous overpays, which we can ill-afford if they don’t start recouping that value soon.I genuinely believe that it was a good window, ruined by Hamer leaving unexpectedly at the last moment. The only question I have is over Wright. It would be great if we could bring in a midfielder in January who can play a similar role to Hamer. Collins is young for a keeper, so plenty of time to develop into a replacement for Wilson if required.

I think an equally big problem with the window is failing to identify players who will come in and expect a certain standard from their teammates. Wright, Simms and Sakamoto all seem like nice polite lads who won’t ruffle too many feathers - and there’s nothing wrong with that! But bringing three of them in at once and expecting them to replace guys like Gyokeres (who terrorised his own teammates as much as his opponents) has changed the team dynamic for the worse from what I can tell.

Simms looks the better bet. He was unlucky not to score a couple on Wednesday and overall is more of a threat
No idea how it counts as unexpected when people had been talking about it all summer, and does 20 days before the window closes really count as 'last minute'?ruined by Hamer leaving unexpectedly at the last moment.
What we'll never know, because GIMOC is our source, is how much the club were led along and thought he'd be staying.No idea how it counts as unexpected when people had been talking about it all summer, and does 20 days before the window closes really count as 'last minute'?

Of course not, but it's not last minute. If they didn't have potential replacements already lined up given the likelihood of the event then it is even more concerning. The club didn't get someone in for one reason or another, sometimes that happens, but blaming that on a player leaving 'last minute', instead of looking at the clubs handling of a situation when they had plenty of time to plan and take action on is clutching at straws.20 days to bring in a replacement for Hamer? I don't know. Even if you've got one lined up, and they're still available, doesn't necessarily mean you can get the deal done in that time. And you're not going to want to bring in just anyone.
Yes, either that or question MR's agendaWe change the back line every week and he can’t get a start when we’re leaking goals. I have to question the value.

Robins has already denied it - it sounded improbable from the start.if there is any truth in the fenerbahce rumour we should bite their hands off !!!
Hamer leaving unexpectedly - if thats the case, the club should be criticised for poor planning.I genuinely believe that it was a good window, ruined by Hamer leaving unexpectedly at the last moment.

You lot are embarrassing. All nicey nicey for a few games, giving him time and being all rational. 13 games later you've turned into a bunch a venomous snakes. Let's hope he doesn't read this forum.
Can plan all you like but if he only decides to leave 2 weeks before the deadline what can they do? Robins himself said we couldnt get some over the line, purely down to timing. All week they have been criticised for recruitment and you are endorsing panic buying here.Hamer leaving unexpectedly - if thats the case, the club should be criticised for poor planning.
Hamer was possibly the reason we made the play offs. It was to be expected he’d be subject to interest and given he had 1 year left it’s even more likely he was to leave.
with 1 year left they should have been planning for his exit - as they did with Gyokeres
What has happened to you? I've agreed with you four or five times in a couple of days.Simms looks the better bet. He was unlucky not to score a couple on Wednesday and overall is more of a threat
This made me have a quick look at the stats, as seemed about right to me, but Simms might actually have the lowest xG per minute and Wright the highest. That was a brief look doing the maths in my head and could be wrong.Simms gets shots on target most games. He's been "unlucky" not to have scored 3 or 4 more goals after good saves or blocks.

As others have said Wright was poor in the games he’s started though.
To be fair Thomas is quite unlucky not to have scored yet.
I guess Wright's high xG is mainly down to that chance v Huddersfield
That's our tactic for most of last season tbfYeah back in my day we'd bang it around and hoof it to the only player who actually could shoot on goal and was a little quicker than everyone. We won about half our games, so not bad
