Scoring means he may be a natural he scores on loan a fair bit - Maupay could not hit a cows backside with a banjo ......

Maupay in the championship was scoring worldies. Watched him a few times and looked like he had it all at that level
About 4 non tap ins from 20something goals and still a fair few shocking misses.
I get it, it's his level, but he only works okay with a 2nd striker next to him and a team that can feed him chances - he currently has neither and can't hit a barn door with his 50p feet.
In a 4-4-2 he might, MIGHT, be okay, but as a decent lone striker option he's absolutely dreadful.
People should probably decide whether he doesn't have a striker's instinct or has made a successful career for himself where the only goals he's ever scored have been tap ins. It can't really be both.

Exactly this. Rose tinted glasses are being worn by a few when it comes to Big Vic. He was in a better team and woeful in front of goal. His record is atrocious and I don't remember anyone being sad to see him go. Stayed for far too long. How many chances did he get, yet Simms should be jettisoned after playing a couple of games. Anichebe made 168 appearances for us scoring 26 goals. 1 goal every 6-7 games. We've sunk to all time low when we're wishing for players of this calibre to be back in the team. James Vaughan pre-injury I could understand but not Vic.
I think that's kind of the point isn't it? Nobody is saying they wish we had Anichebe because he was amazing, they're saying that things are so bad that someone like Anichebe would be a massive improvement at the moment. It's hard to disagree. Even the decision to get rid of Rondon looks questionable now to be honest. I absolutely slated the bloke but a big lump to knock the ball up to would be pretty useful at the moment, and wouldn't you just know that we had one and released him on a free just as he would have finally come in handy.

I'd bet good money (more than a fiver
) that if Simms played 28 games for us, he'd score more than 1 solitary goal.

I'd give Simms a run yes he is raw and isn't an all round target man but he might get on the end of few. And if we go down which looks likely tbh he will be on of our forwards in the Championship

It's neither, he's absolute manure.

He's in a crisis of confidence. Thats why he isn't pulling the trigger. He's trying to make sure instead of taking a chance and having a go. Also that video shows loads of support - hes capable of finding space for cutbacks from the by line, he can scurry about looking for breaks but our wingers and midfield runners aint getting ahead of him. He aint used to this burden.

Maupay is absolutely last, really terrible, but he does press (perhaps ineffectively) and work hard without the ball.

Anichebe couldn’t find the net on a regular basis in a better team so in this team I think he would be as isolated and ineffective as the rest. Until we have midfielders who will push up and support the front man then we’ll carry on struggling. Their inability to read the game is a real problem. The lack of pace also means a big man can try and hold the ball up but they are far too slow to arrive in support. The Arsenal game is a scary prospect. Just need a battling performance and to not get hammered. If we can escape with a draw I’ll be over the moon,
We will play Simms again and call him crap and want Maupay back in.
Rinse and repeat.
