We were all delighted when Gykores scored 22 goals in all competitions in the 2022/23 season.
It is possible that both Wright and Simms could match that and even if they don't they are unlikely to fall short by much given that they are currently on 16 each
This is an astonishing achievement, especially when you consider that both of them - Simms in particular - had such slow starts to the season.
It augurs well for next season
As I said in the other thread, players to score 15 or more since the start of the PL are Vik, Dublin, McSheffrey, Wilson, Clarke, McNulty, Godden, Armstrong, McGoldrick I think.
Basically a who’s who of City’s best ever strikers in the modern era. That’s the level they’re at in their first season. You have to respect it.
I don’t see why life changed in 92. Ian Wallace and Terry Gibson scored over 20 in the top flight and were the best strikers I’ve seen

Shmee was alive im sure. He doesn't strike me as a young unI don’t think @shmmeee is much older than me and I wasn’t around in 92.
Simms and Wright is the best pair of strikers I’ve seen play for Cov.
Gyokeres and Hamer still the best two I’ve seen for City in my relatively short time as a supporter.
I didSo pretty much nobody backed them both.
I mean, let’s not get carried away. Simms has started hitting the back of the net - fantastic. But his first touch is still poor. You’re putting him and Wright ahead of, just as a few examples, Dublin and Huckerby, Keane and Rousell.I don’t think @shmmeee is much older than me and I wasn’t around in 92.

Gyokeres is playing levels above Simms & Wright but I wouldn’t discount either of the two developing further.I think gyokeres is levels above what we have here today , but that doesn't mean I think they're shit , we as a team are playing differently than at any point with vik , it was literally give it to vik and see what he can do .
Vik in this team would probably be above 30 goals this season in the league

Gyokeres got 23 in all competitions last season so let’s just appreciate that Simms & Wright both have 16 with enough to match that tally.

Gyokeres is an incredible footballer , a powerful 9 that you rarely see in the modern game anymore .
Best at city for a couple decades
So pretty much nobody backed them both.
I did to be fair. Said they looked good on paper and knew they both come good.So pretty much nobody backed them both.
Have you heard his lingo though?Shmee was alive im sure. He doesn't strike me as a young un
We signed them on 4 year contracts, judging them half a season in was always stupid.I did to be fair. Said they looked good on paper and knew they both come good.
He’s developing into something very good but does have a habit of shooting when the sightline is already blocked. He’ll wait until the defender commits and then hit it straight at him. Hit one very similar against Simms yesterday.Wright should stop trying to cut onto his right so much when he’s got the opportunity to shot with his left. He’s actually pretty good with his left, as seen with the goal today, but he also wasted a fair few chances by trying to cut back when he would have had a clear shot at goal if he’d taken it on earlier on his left.
M.R.So pretty much nobody backed them both.
