Both going to be on the bench though as late game options? I’m guessing just having their minutes managed. I hope.

Bit harsh to say he does nothing well. I was critical of him after WBA because despite what some posters said, he wasn’t good. But there is certainly a few things he can do. Six yard box he comes alive, he’s physically built to be a CF and he can shoot with power. And this is where I’m at. He’s...

Sorry you have to live there mate.

Yeah, as a centre back he is full blooded and gives his all. His limitations on the ball way less apparent now Grimes is here. I’m glad he’s doing well because I hated seeing him in the team sometimes and now he’s taken his chance, I’m happy!

It’s away and a long trip for the lads, but no disrespect to Plymouth - we have to consider this the “easier” game of the last three. Unfortunately in the Champ, that means basically nothing 😂 Start same team as Friday. They were terrible when we last played them, but I imagine they have...

In the same boat as you here, but he’s been really good and as another poster has said; always having Grimes as an option has massively helped him.

Haha fucking hell, you’re on fire this weekend 😂

I know nothing intel-wise myself! I’m just going by him seeming like a driven fella, he seems like he wants to be playing and he’s not!

BTA I can see going, but more because I think he wants to be the main man somewhere.

There are so many things with this post which are ridiculous, but I think I’ll just leave you to it as I’m just going to enjoy the win😂

I think I’d maybe be a little surprised to see Simms move on tbh. I do think they’ll be looking at loaning out Bassette though and getting in another more experienced CF?

We’ve seen glimpses of Simms ability for sure. His stats which I think @stupot07 posted for today suggest he didn’t do as well as you think he did. He was good against Hull. Bassette also looks like a professional footballer, just a young / naive one. The game changing in WBAs favour at the end...

No because I think Simms is better for the team? I just don’t understand why a player who has far less experience and is much younger gets pelters when Simms is hardly living up to expectations himself. They’re also both completely different styles of player.

If you say it’s weird it must be then…

I agree he did a job and helped get the win. I also do not think he’s currently good enough and at the moment I’m struggling to see if he ever will be. Don’t get me wrong, there are facets of his game which have improved under Lampard. Maybe there is other stuff which will eventually come to...

Not really no. Simms did offer more than Bassette, but then again, that should be expected shouldn’t it? Given the fact he’s older and has had more minutes of late.

Thought Kitching was excellent, very aggressive. Lati very good as well.

It’s a fair comment. I think there are defo people rightly questioning Simms ability to control the ball and do other basics right. But you might be right in that the system doesn’t help a centre forward in that style. He clearly opens the game up for others around him, but is that enough when...

He did work hard. I’ll give him that. I thought he was good against Hull; obviously I realise he didn’t do well for that chance he hit over the bar (I know the keeper saved it but it was going over).

This. People berating Bassette (who wasn’t good either), are the same saying “Simms was good”. He wasn’t.
