    No. Each time Simms had the ball in the area he waved his arms about. The time I stated there was defenders the the keeper covering any ball coming through. Which is exactly what I said yet you come along jumping on my posts making out I have said something totally different.

    Excuse me. You're quoting me not me quoting you. I replied to you on why I would have left Simms on the pitch last game. I said nothing else. Otherwise would you like to show what else I have said?

    Explain yourself. The best player on the pitch last game between Godden and Simms was Simms. How many problems did Godden give them? Godden is a goal poacher. He doesn't have the strength or speed. But he has the poachers chance. In the right place at the right time. So again who got into the...

    So we should take off the player who has less of the ball but creates more chances and scores 2 goals over the player who has more of the ball and scores no goals? Simms for the first time with us was buzzing. His confidence was as high as it could get. But we took him off. Yes Godden is a...

    It isn't Godden hate. He knows where the back of the net is. But last game other than waving his arms about he didn't do much more. One of the times he waived his arms about at Simms there was no chance of getting the ball to him. Whereas Simms caused them problems. The one good thing about...

    Ellis Simms Going Forward

    We wanted their player. They didn't want to sell. This meant they wouldn't sell on the cheap. No difference to the sales of Gyokeres and Hamer. If Kitching improves like I think he will we will have got him for a good price. Barnsley got a good price as they are League 1. You can put a whole...

    Ellis Simms Going Forward

    Needing to strengthen a position and the right player becoming available at the right price are two totally different things. I'm glad we didn't do a panic buy like previous seasons. Not only would it waste the transfer fee but also take a wage from the budget. We're building for the future...

    Gyokeres was better when he left us than Simms is now. But when he first joined us he wasn't. Many wondered why we wasted 1m on his signing after his loan spell with us. Both Simms and Wright will improve with gametime and coaching. The only question is how much they improve.

    Some are just clueless or need a scapegoat. One mistake and they will be out again calling him useless.

    Why? If he is only on 10k a week it is over half a million a year. Just 2 year contract? They would have to give him over a million to get rid of him. Then he is free to do as he likes. Get another manager role and fail again?

    This will piss on a few people’s chips

    Players can take time to settle in and get used to the system used. Gyokeres took time. Many thought he was a waste of money. That dated well. Hamer was also a waste of money because he was a liability. Football is an emotional sport and emotions can take over from reality. Once Simms and...

    This will piss on a few people’s chips

    Everything will be OK. Before the season started I predicted we would need 8 to 10 games before we started playing as a team. The players don't know how each other prefer to play. And we also have to play a totally different system. So even the players we retained didn't know our new system...
