Compared to last season, they're missing Browne and Whiteman who are two of the better midfielders in the division.
That said, Riis has a great record against us and I don't think he's scored for a while.....
The point is that he'd never played higher than L1, he is no different in that respect from a player that has come through at a L1 club and played in L1.
I am not sure if Simms is instructed not to run the channels so as to not overcrowd, so it's difficult to criticise for that.
What he is poor at is offering an outlet with his back to goal, pressing defenders and movement in the box at times.
