That was kind of my point , back in the 70/80s of players performed like that they had a long run in " the stiffs "

If you’re going to throw one of the players under the bus in a post-match interview, it may as well be the only one who doesn’t speak any EnglishRobins slightly blaming sakamoto for the goal is a joke.
Thought Simms was ok when he finally came on tonight , showed well and linked for the second goalTo be fair that’s exactly why he can’t drop Wright or Simms - imagine having to justify 15m sitting on the bench
Yeah I thought he was going to carry on, think it looked like his thighHe limped off but it didn't look too severe from where we were.
The lad needs a rocket up his arse. Sick of hearing about how 'talented' he is. His career will amount to nothing I've little doubt. History says he doesn't manage more than 15 games a season. Cannot recall when a game has been in the balance where he has created or scored a goal. His impact on the outcome of a game is non existent. Have always thought we can probably do better than Allen if the club is to progress, but would take Allen every day of the week ahead of Palmer. Nearly everyone of Allen's goals or assists last year broke the deadlock in a tight game. I don't even get out of my seat when Palmer is about to shoot. Tonight yet another example - guilt edge chance he should have scored.I’m changing my mind on Palmer. He’s shit and offers very little
Simms and godden there’s goals thereThought Simms was ok when he finally came on tonight , showed well and linked for the second goal
He also can't really expect Godden to play the lone forward role.To be fair that’s exactly why he can’t drop Wright or Simms - imagine having to justify 15m sitting on the bench
Monday is definitely the type of game where Jamie Allen will probably step upThe lad needs a rocket up his arse. Sick of hearing about how 'talented' he is.

If he has pace coming from midfield I think he can. Pointless having a strike partner who does nothing.He also can't really expect Godden to play the lone forward role.
I would start him with a view to taking him off after an hourMonday is definitely the type of game where Jamie Allen will probably step up
he’s probably not match fit, he’ll start next week
Then he needs to drop Palmer which he seems averse to doing. Sakamoto is being sold down the river at RWB and Robins essentially admits it in the post matchIf he has pace coming from midfield I think he can. Pointless having a strike partner who does nothing.
Massive mistake getting rid of reserve team football it provided competitive games for senior players and a brilliant pathway for promising young players....now we have the utterly pointless under 21 " development leagues" and our better young players have to go out on loan to experience men's football.That was kind of my point , back in the 70/80s of players performed like that they had a long run in " the stiffs "
Had heard people say his movement was really good in a couple. I haven't seen a hint of any movement from him apart from how he hangs out from corners.There is no way in the world that Wright is as bad as he was tonight. Its just impossible. Forget judging the Turkish league, he had zero control and zero ability to hold up the ball. Don't know if we play wrong system for him or whatever but nobody can actually be that bad.
I thought simms actually showed somewhen he came on. Put the little chop through in the build up to the 2nd goal
I'd be surprised if Palmer starts on MondayThen he needs to drop Palmer which he seems averse to doing. Sakamoto is being sold down the river at RWB and Robins essentially admits it in the post match
Don't think he will get the greatest cheer if he is announcedI'd be surprised if Palmer starts on Monday
If I still placed wagers I'd bet he does again, he was brought on against Hull despite clearly being in no fit state to play.I'd be surprised if Palmer starts on Monday
AgreedI would start him with a view to taking him off after an hour
Tonight he showed a couple of flashes of pace, but no strength, poor control of the ball, poor awareness of his teammates and was even poor in the air despite his height.Had heard people say his movement was really good in a couple. I haven't seen a hint of any movement from him apart from how he hangs out from corners.
Simms I think will do well in time and will improve. Wright looks alarmingly raw.
Just doesn't look like we are playing to Wright's strengths at all, to be fair to him.One minor defence of Wright is he looks like the type of striker you want to hit earlier down the channels…unfortunately we spent most of the match strolling round the pitch passing it sideways and backwards at a friendly pace
Let’s hope Robins has words, makes some changes and sorts them out for next week as that was poor. I accept its a period of transition and always going to be a bit disjointed but at the very least we should get some intensity, energy and movement
I am not saying Wright is a no hoper. I am just saying he was very poor tonight.Wright was awful tonight but this forum cracks me up.
2 weeks ago Simms was a no hoper and Wright was the future.

'Very poor' is being kind. I don't think he touched the ball for a 15 minute period. I'm still confident him & Simms will come good.... eventually.I am not saying Wright is a no hoper. I am just saying he was very poor tonight.

Not sure about Sakamoto, he's got a lot of the Kasey Palmer about him so far. Nice trick but no end productI think on the balance of the season so far, and from what I've managed to catch these are the main 3 positives:
Godden is in the form of his life and must start every game.
Sakamoto provides us with our most individual moments of brilliance and creativity, we need to find a way to utilise him more.
Ayari, if anyone, is going to be what becomes our creativity to replace Hamer, he needs minutes by hook or crook.
Robins needs to work out a plan before West Brom to play to all these players strengths. I don't care how much players cost, we need to look on performance. If that means a change in formation so be it.
Apart from being the Championships top scorer, what else does he offer?Now they are both no hopers and Godden is the Championship top scorer
Are you being seriousApart from being the Championships top scorer, what else does he offer?
Simms & Wright HAVE to start in the next game.

Covers a lot more ground than Palmer but do see your point about what he does on the ball.Not sure about Sakamoto, he's got a lot of the Kasey Palmer about him so far. Nice trick but no end product

I would like to see that also, but at the moment but too early for Allen to start and i would rest MacFadzean for a game or 2 depending on how the rest get on without him. So much money has gone on the defense they need to start playing but also McFadz looked slow and tired tonight so give him a rest as we will need him during the season and not burnt out.View attachment 31896
As long as Godden gets plenty of support (which I think he would) I wouldn't mind seeing this next game
Didn’t take long for QPR to slide down and almost get relegated last season.We won't be near the relegation zone, something would have to have gone completely to shit for that to happen.
We’re in this weird situation where Godden doesn’t actually offer us much in terms of physicality but he does score us goals. I think we have a proper nightmare situation on our hands here, we’re going to be expecting a 33 year old slow-ish striker to be doing what Gyokeres did last season purely because our new strikers have been dog shite.Apart from being the Championships top scorer, what else does he offer?
