It was, and Simms should've scored from a rebound that fell to him. Also had a decent effort saved late on.
That was a strange game though, felt very preaseason friendly like until they made some subs late on that injected some energy.
Criticism of Eccles is completely warranted, anyone without a rose tinted pair of glasses on can see he is quite limited and currently not the quality of player to get us out of this league.
eh?
The point is one injury in midfield reduces us to a Kelly-Eccles pairing which completely lacks quality. If we had a proper Gus replacement he'd be starting tonight in place of one of those two.
