He had a great game today, regardless of the goal. BTA struggled when he came on and the ball stopped sticking.

Simms very good today i thought , held up well for torp crossbar and good to see him score

 

[SBT]

You usually get at least one or two slapstick moments from Simms which can make him look awful, and that was the case again today, but he generally applied himself very well. Something about him seems to inspire some people to go absolutely mental with criticism but he’s in very good form.

 

[Grendel]

Well wright is now injured for a few games so we need him to perform

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Simms had a decent game, despite the lack of good service 1st half.
Kept battling away, set up Torp's shot against the crossbar, and scored from Thomas's header across the box.
Solid 8/10

I thought Simms played well and I liked his post-match interview. About training hard and waiting for your chance, supporting the team, maintaining the high bar the team has set when you do get your chance.

Hes been good all season in the minutes he's had.

Doesn't Simms have the best Goals per min ratio of any of our players?

Thought he was so unlucky to be dropped after his Immense performance at Portsmouth.

His head hasn't dropped and his body language is so much better.

2nd half he was kicking off at the linesman over a throw in desicion.
Most un Simms like! Good to see that from him.

Simms moves like a newborn giraffe playing in skinny jeans and tenpin bowling shoes, but he’s effective when he’s on it. Had a great game today.

This is a real conundrum. Presuming BTA starts on Tuesday as does Simms. What would be our attacking option if we needed to bring someone off the bench?

Kai Andrews?

Don’t think both start on Tuesday. I’d play Simms with the mission of trying to hold the ball up and occupy the centre halves. Bring BTA on last 20.

 

[eyesee]

i thought simms did well today.
a few guys sat behind us in block 10 seemed to moan every time he did anything at all, but i assume they were just wasps fans who still haven't worked out why nobody picks the ball up any more.

Played really well together at Portsmouth.

We played 3 centre backs though then.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Kai Andrews?

Rudoni/Asante or EMC

4 in 496 mins for Simms. Not bad at all.

 

[mrfr]

Best xG+ xA per 90 in the league and he’s outperforming it by 0.3G/A per 90. It’s all well and good saying he only scores tap ins, but by this measure he scores or assists once every 67 minutes so far this season. Paddy Bamford and Keifer Moore combined couldn’t do that.

 

[mrfr]

The green bar here’s represents where he sits in the overall league standings per stat. It’s not bad, is it

 

[stevefloyd]

I think that's unfair; he was making all the right decisions, but it sometimes wasn't coming off.

He was making all the right decisions but not necessarily at the right time

 

[Evo1883]

Simms first goal at the arena since luton ?

Simms first goal at the arena since luton ?

It’s his first league goal here since Luton in October 2024

 

[Great_Expectations]

The issue with Simms is his usual gaff or two overshadow everything else, especially if you’re looking for reasons to criticise him.

He held the ball up well yesterday and his off the ball movement is always good. His performance and goal have hopefully given him a confidence boost too.

Be amazing to see him continue to pick up form and find the same performances we saw in his first season here.

Despite the occasional donkey touch, he’s a good player with all the right attributes. This run in the team will be his resurgence.

Simms has been good this season and Wright’s injury is an opportunity for him to stake a claim for a starting berth. Played quality v Pompey, got an assist v Stoke and got a goal yesterday.

Away to Boro, he should start.

As a minimum we’ve got sakamoto, Rudoni, BTA, Simms, Mason Clark in and around the starting line up (presume wrights not available), most clubs in this league would give their right arm for that. All won’t start. Depending on recovery, wouldn’t be surprised to see Rudoni and BTA start on bench again

 

[Grendel]

It is an incredible stat that it’s Simms first league goal at the CBS for 13 months

He did play well

He did play well

Showed the sort of aggression you expect as standard from a big centre forward. Hopefully it continues.
