Only just watched the game and haven’t seen it mentioned yet that with 7 of our summer signings this is (with the exception of Da Silva) the team we’re trying to build. Not bad for a first time together as a unit even if Brum were poor
Definitely agree with that, we need to give Simms and Wright the time to understand each other’s game more, okay Godden is a good poacher but I’m not sure he has the pace and strength to get into some of the positions that Wright and Simms have found themselves in so far.
If Simms, Wright and Godden had some sort of weird 3-way love child together we’d have a solid striker but I think for the time being we need to give Wright and Simms a good run of games to get them understanding the new setup better.
All against a very good player in dembele. He’s really starting to look like the player we all thought/hoped he’d be…which is above championship level. Looks quality to me

Tbh I don’t think time is really a problem now, we seem to have settled as a team and worked out that 5 at the back doesn’t suit us. I don’t think we’ll be anywhere near the relegation zone by the end of the season but we won’t be going up either, I think it’d be good to give Simms and Wright more minutes together so they have a decent understanding of their play styles.
Let’s face it, as good as he’s been, is Godden going to be the guy to get us into the Prem? Realistically? He may contribute to it, I get that, but should we be aiming to start him every week and forcing Simms or Wright onto the bench every week? I personally think it’s a waste of time and money if we don’t continue trying to make Simms and Wright two solid players for us.
We have all the makings of potentially a frightening team....and the squad depth looks immense.
It's gonna be tough to keep the fridge players in squad happy. Next challenge for Robins. Coukd have and shiukd have brought some subs on of im being picky.
