Did he? Miss kicked the ball for his goal although it was good positioning and got bullied a couple of times by Thomas. Don't recall him doing anything else in the game?Any change we could have him at Ryton in the summer to do some coaching with Simms and Wright to show them how a forward should trap, hold and pass a ball to player in the same team.
He made it look very simple last night.

To suggest Moore wouldn’t have had a positive impact if we’d got him in January is pretty silly really

We were never in the run to sign him so it’s a moot point.
Ellis Simms form picked up at the turn of 2024 so we should all agree that not signing a striker in Jan was a blessing in disguise. Going into next season we need a 3rd choice, absolutely.
Moore would have been a huge player for us - after all we have players relying on rest and relaxation as they are incapable of playing twice a week without falling asleep
I agree with you and thought at the time would have been a great addition. He gets some criticism for some reason but I rate as a very good professional player.Thought he looked decent to be fair made it look simple I said should of loaned him in January.

I agree Godden has had a poor second half of the season, but let's not forget Simms scored a rediculous 2 goals in his first 25 appearances, so it's a good job we had Godden available.Key point is he would have displaced Godden who has had a poor 2nd half of the season. Whether that was starting or coming off the bench wouldn’t have mattered.
maybe I should elaborate. I'm not saying he should replace either striker or is any better in terms of strike rate, but his first touch and close ball control for a big unit was very good any times. I feel it's something Simms and Wright could certainly improve on and would benefit their overall game immensely.Any change we could have him at Ryton in the summer to do some coaching with Simms and Wright to show them how a forward should trap, hold and pass a ball to player in the same team.

Not sure he's a long term replacement for Godden? He's already 10x the player Godden has ever been, what an odd post.I agree Godden has had a poor second half of the season, but let's not forget Simms scored a rediculous 2 goals in his first 25 appearances, so it's a good job we had Godden available.
I'm not suggesting we keep Godden as he's well past his prime now, but I'm not convinced Simms is the ideal long term replacement (dispite his little purple patch) I'd like to see us bring in some viable competition for the no 9 shirt, and see if that keeps him on his toes.
I meant a long term answer as our centre forward. (Godden will obciously move on at the end of the season)Not sure he's a long term replacement for Godden? He's already 10x the player Godden has ever been, what an odd post.
Oh and Goddens goals gained us a grand total of 2 points. Thank goodness for those.

Well I don't disagree we need someone to compete with him but that goes without saying really. I don't think we'll ever see Simms the same way tbf, but to me it's obvious he'll improve again next season.I meant a long term answer as our centre forward. (Godden will obciously move on at the end of the season)
He's had a good second half of the season, but his form has dipped again of late.
(He's not the only one by any means)
If he can keep his work rate high throughout the season, then great, but I have my doubts that he can. Hence we need some proper competition.
"Little purple patch" to describe 19 goals in 22 games is a bit harsh no?I agree Godden has had a poor second half of the season, but let's not forget Simms scored a rediculous 2 goals in his first 25 appearances, so it's a good job we had Godden available.

Maybe, but how would you describe 2 in 25? A little baron patch?"Little purple patch" to describe 19 goals in 22 games is a bit harsh no?
I hope so, if he keeps his work rate up he'll be a real asset.Well I don't disagree we need someone to compete with him but that goes without saying really. I don't think we'll ever see Simms the same way tbf, but to me it's obvious he'll improve again next season.

If the midfield had marked him on the edge of the area he wouldn't have scoredThought he looked decent to be fair made it look simple I said should of loaned him in January.
If Collins hadn't let it go under his body he wouldn't have scored. It was straight at him.If the midfield had marked him on the edge of the area he wouldn't have scored

However I thought Moore looked a class act and suspect he has been an important part of their success.
Wright is a far better player, Simms will be.Any change we could have him at Ryton in the summer to do some coaching with Simms and Wright to show them how a forward should trap, hold and pass a ball to player in the same team.

7 goals in 17 games (14 starts )Who’s got more goals?
Ok Grendel I’m going to bite on this one. My cousin has a degree in sports science I asked him about how a top professional athlete can struggle to play games in quick succession. He basically said that the body isn’t allowed enough time to recover before going through the exact same physical exertion. Your key muscle groups tighten up and fatigue sets in quickly. It’s like going to the gym and not having a rest day, your body needs time to recover and repair itself.Moore would have been a huge player for us - after all we have players relying on rest and relaxation as they are incapable of playing twice a week without falling asleep
We've managed it every other season , last season as an example ..Ok Grendel I’m going to bite on this one.

Also strains and pulls are far more likely to occur the more you do such physically intense activities such as a playing 90 mins of football at such a high level.
The trouble with forums such as this people cannot or do not want to see the fine margins. Also each individual players recovery time will be different. It might take for example Wright longer to recover than Simms, it depends on the individual
Their keeper was exceptional too. That save fromWright was probably as good as I have seen this year.As I think Robins mentioned in his interview everyone ran to the goal line and left him unmarked. Reminded me of playing down the park when I was younger. Moore got it on target but that’s all you can say. He was a handful though
We had similar chance (Palmer) and it was like pinball and Ipswich lucked out. Just one of those nights…again
Over the same period Simms & Wright have more than Moore. Almost definitely on less wages too.7 goals in 17 games
