Both him and Simms need to be playing consistently, Simms looked really good when he came on and who cares how Wright scores.

Simms needs to keep that physicality he showed today. I notice robins mentioned it tooBoth him and Simms need to be playing consistently, Simms looked really good when he came on and who cares how Wright scores.
He's got 4 goals 2 assists in the equivalent minutes of 8 full games. And he should have had a fair few more already.On for about 15 at this rate ain't he? Not bad for utter shite waste of money
Yerp his stats per minute are fine especially in a new country and a more physical league. Gain confidence and cut out the errors and he'll come good. His output is better than Viks was in his first season in the championshipHe's got 4 goals 2 assists in the equivalent minutes of 8 full games. And he should have had a fair few more already.
Even today I can think of the volley that was blocked in 6 yard box late on which was heading in and the heel flick from the Simms cross which was blocked.
will they have gelled by xmas.
Absolutely this. Robins needs to take advantage of this. Get that ball in front of them to run onto. You see a lot of Simms video clips at other clubs where he's doing that really well. These guys don't want the ball deep and to feet while we slowly move up the pitch. This is where the dynamic midfielder with good passing range that we desperately need comes into play to thread the ball through to them.I have to be honest both he and Simms looked far more comfortable making runs into the channels second half. Still made hashes of it once they got in the box but even so.
I cut Robins some slack there, it was was hopeful thinking on his part and dumb not to be prepared. But I reckon Gus screwed us a bit by leaving his decision so late. I think he gave off a lot of signals that he wanted to stay and it's pretty obvious by the fact he is lingering round the place still it was a close call. He may have wanted to stay but when you get a premier league contract under your nose it's hard to turn down.I honestly think Robins, perhaps naively, expected Hamer to stay for the season.
From what ive seen on you tube clips it may be as there seems an awful lot of highlights of him cutting in off the left and he looked a different player 2nd half yesterday.Is it his preference?
I care we paid £7.7M for a 26 year old...he needs a hell of a lot of improvement. How low are our expectations of our star striker...jeez.Both him and Simms need to be playing consistently, Simms looked really good when he came on and who cares how Wright scores.

So you’d rather he scored 10 fantastic solo goals than 20 tap ins?
A lot more likely to do so than Simms.He's going to score 20 goals isn't he?
Shows how the eye test and stats can be completely contradictory. Those stats paint him out to be a very good striker. Would be interested to know what Viktors stats what like.This highlights his strengths and weaknesses versus other championship forwards.
We know he can't really pass it but he is a ball carrying striker that will get chances and take shots. He's not going to link the play and intercept like a Godden can but he carries more of a threat.
I'm convinced he's going to score regularly (albeit miss a lot)
Why do some players always get their full name instead of just their surname?
Or even Harvey BarnesNot sure. Maybe Nick Pope knows the answer to that.
I'd take stats over our fans 'eye test', vast majority are clueless, emotional and entitled.Shows how the eye test and stats can be completely contradictory. Those stats paint him out to be a very good striker. Would be interested to know what Viktors stats what like.

Just look like a footballer would be adequate.So you’d rather he scored 10 fantastic solo goals than 20 tap ins?
Clive Allen another one, though I guess that might be more to do with being in a multi footballer familyThread
Pukki looked nothing like Gyo in more than one sense
We actually need proper competition for Wright as Simms and Godden seem more like for like to an extent, i.e penalty box poachers, whereas Wright on paper is more of a complete forward in the Gyokeres mould albeit we havent seen much, if any of that so far,but the above list does seem to confirm the assumption. Boli might be worth a shout as werent we also linked with Evander from Portland Timbers as a replacement for Hamer. Know fuck all about Boli, but if that Evander guy was on the radar then maybe going for Boli as well might help get Evander over as at this point we are fucking desperate to replace Hamer!! Yes, a bit desperate now so clutching at straws such as randomly picking players off random lists. Or maybe go for Wadji as it rhymes with Hadji....
The guy he replaced was a 20 million striker. He isnt going to be as good obviously. £7.7 m today isnt that much for a top level striker. If Wright gets say 12-15 goals this season thats actually at least good enough for a £5-7 million striker in todays market.I care we paid £7.7M for a 26 year old...he needs a hell of a lot of improvement. How low are our expectations of our star striker...jeez.
