It isn't really, which is why I think it's a problem!I'm not so sure it's any worse than we're not playing them!
I agree, We were playing with one striker lat season much of the time, so therefore to make a better comparison you have to look at how the AM's were performing in terms of goals. Which means adding in Hamer's goals, and probably considering Allen's contribution too.The obvious problem with your question is that you would always rather have one player in your first XI who can score 20 goals instead of two players who can score 10 - if it takes two players to replace one player's goal output then you have to make compromises elsewhere. Until recently we have been trying to accommodate two strikers who are struggling to score goals, and the whole tactical setup has been suffering as a result.
Wright or Simms aren't getting loaned in January, that's nonsense. Even if we're playing the box consistently you need 3 strikers in the squad.
Plus I don't think either of them have much to complain about. They've both been given opportunities to cement a starting role and neither has taken them.
I predict Wrught won’t be with the club by the end of January. To much noise I’m hearing about he hasn’t settled, enjoying England and it appears he is finding the standard a lot higher than the Turkish league.If we send either Wright or Simms out on loan in January then it will be much, much more difficult to attract top players in the next summer window. Any player with options wants/needs to know their next manager will back them - farming out Wright or Simms sends out the message that we're not really bothered.
I may be wrong here but the standards not great in Turkey.Bit clownish to be spending that on a player from the Turkish super lig. Whoever is responsible, we spaffed it right up the wall on total dross.

Robins admits he decides who to actually sign
It’s a bit of a minefield but there are definitely some decent players out there - mostly at the big 3 though.I may be wrong here but the standards not great in Turkey.
Rank bad recruitment.
It’s top heavy like the SPL and Portuguese league.I may be wrong here but the standards not great in Turkey.

It would have been down to Robins. Regardless of what gets said on here, King isn’t going to be happy.Bit clownish to be spending that on a player from the Turkish super lig. Whoever is responsible, we spaffed it right up the wall on total dross.

I’m pretty sure if King could claw back anything near what we forked out for Wright a deal will be struck. As somebody mentioned on CWR why did we take a huge risk on a £7.7m signing when possible better lower risk signings could be made in the UK?
There’s next to no chance of us doing that.Isn't there some UEFA rule that you're not allowed to transfer twice in a season? I guess there might be a way round it if we loaned him out in January in lieu of a sale in the Summer.

I knewOn paper, is there a better front 2 in the Championship?
Wasn’t far offSimms biggest asset is with the ball in front of him inside the penalty box , his all round game is poor . We need to play to his strengths and work on his weaknesses in training
I think he'll be pretty happy!It would have been down to Robins. Regardless of what gets said on here, King isn’t going to be happy.
Come on that’s a pretty woeful attempt to defend some of the absolute drivel on this threadThe facts are early season Simms was dreadful and Wright was slightly better. They’re both playing really well now. That doesn’t mean pointing out they were playing poorly early on was wrong.
I’m gonna be too low - that wasn’t looking likelyExpect 35 between them yep
There’s plenty to choose fromThis is my favourite
Keep diggingThe facts are early season Simms was dreadful and Wright was slightly better. They’re both playing really well now. That doesn’t mean pointing out they were playing poorly early on was wrong.
I was pretty smug with my 27 last week. Now I’m starting to worryI’m gonna be too low - that wasn’t looking likely
I’m not trying to defend anything. Those were just the facts at the time.Come on that’s a pretty woeful attempt to defend some of the absolute drivel on this thread
That wasn’t what was happening thoughThe facts are early season Simms was dreadful and Wright was slightly better. They’re both playing really well now. That doesn’t mean pointing out they were playing poorly early on was wrong.
