The guy is more effective than Simms IMO. Gives 110% every game and was chasing the ball down in the 95th minute. Unless we have a better alternative he starts.

Personally I’d rather start with Simms and then bring BTA on around 60 mins when players are starting to tire and he can then run round like he does and chase down loose balls and stuff

Or you can have BTA on from the beginning, running and disrupting them, not letting them settle or find their rhythm.
It can work both ways. Probably depends on the opposition.

I think once teams tend to tire they sit further back! So I can’t see BTA being effective trying to break open a defence when they have 11 men behind the ball

BTA brings the energy but has a limited football brain. Simms has a better football brain but often looks like he isn't putting a shift in both can do great things both can be frustrating.
Simms has a very limited football brain. All the athletic attributes you need, but got nothing to tell him what to do with it at the right times.

I'm with you on BTA hasn't got a football brain how many times does he run into people with the ball instead of looking to go where the space is,he is better when he doesn't have to think to much he can strike a football so is better at being in and around the box and striking it first time.Simms just looks uninterested all the time and can't time a header plus struggles to run with the ball at his feet also has no aggression.So none are what we need to get promoted.

Simms can actually read the game and knows where to be but needs to increase his aggression and run a bit more. I'll concede on the mistimed headers it's odd it's like he always expects to get clattered from behind so doesn't go for it. Id say as backup players when we are trying to get to the playoffs they are fine.
