The forgotten Ellis Simms (4 Viewers)

then he needs to move

Why would he do that when Haji has to sign first, just let things run their course,no need to shove him along just yet.

Him and Eccles are doing well with in their ‘finishers’ role. Simms heading/hold up play is so much better compared to last year. Reckon he’ll grab some goals before seasons out as well

I thought they both did well when they came on last night

Whatever anyone on here thinks I'll be amazed if Simms is here next season.
Just don't think Lampard thinks much of him.

In reality wright isn’t great and Simms is terrible but done his best

In the match thread you stated Simms should be starting away games which given his dire efforts the last game he started seems rather detached from reality

I mean, again, that is a separate debate. Yes, I do think Simms hold up play suits us better away from home. We have less possession away from home so that suits our style better (not that detached). Either way, that isn’t really anything to do with ‘moving him on’ as you mentioned, but happy to have that different debate.

Seems strange to single out Simms for praise after last night’s game, but even stranger to be singling him out for his overall performances this season.

Literally state in the op that it’s an odd acknowledgement. 10 goals in a season for the time played is an impressive return for the season.

I agree. Neither would be a starter if we made it to the PL.

I think some of his critics from last season are now priced in to downplaying his contribution this year, which as you say has been very good.
