    Can I just check - do those goals count? As it’s only Rotherham? So Simms is still shit yea?

    I know he’s not rated anymore on here, but compare Simms first 8 minutes to Wright. Even without the goal; movement, touches, lay offs, pressing, hold up play. Not making the point to criticise Wright, but to highlight Simms has all the attributes and has time on his side to continue to...

    Back to 4-3-3, with Wrigth and Palmer on the wings. We have to win, to at least keep things interesting for a few more games. Ending the season with nothing to play for is the height of boredom.

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Not much point debating Simms, battle lines have been drawn by both sides. Personally still think he’ll come good and we’ll see an improved striker next year. He’s clearly a massive introvert and possibly lacking in confidence despite the goals - MR and team have a job helping him with that...

    Ben Sheaf

    Lose two games = Sheaf is leaving in summer. Mental stuff.

    Who is good enough next season?

    Can we not all lose the plot because of two poor performances and subsequent results. Without two massive players (Sakamoto, Sheaf) and our main creative force already playing in LaLiga (in his head). The team below is more than strong enough to challenge next year. GK (albeit Collins is fine)...

    Not sure it’s on MR. He has his faults and he’s tinkered a lot and made the occasional odd decision, but not sure he can be blamed for players making poor decisions, losing any sense of belief and having the resilience of tissue paper.

    We bottled it against two playoff rivals and in doing so have given ourselves what is likely too big a challenge. Too many anonymous performances recently from our better players. Key amongst our summer recruits is a leader.

    Yea Simms touch let’s him down occasionally, but if he’s being picked out as a scapegoat this place has lost it again. He’s won numerous flick ons, generally held it up well and his movement has been good. All while being supported by a 10 who can’t be arsed and two wing backs who are scared to...

    COH and MVE have been poor for a while. It’s just easier to have a pop at JDS, Eccles, Simms et al. Torp is absolutely not on it today either.

    Arguing over who to blame for both goals, with valid points for numerous contenders, tells you exactly how poor we’ve been defensively. Horrendous stuff.

    Hate to say it, but that’s likely game over. No leadership or drive out there. Our main creative force outside of the front three looks off it, as do the wing backs.

    For all the frustration and negativity so far, WBA do look beatable and we’ve made chances without really being on it yet.

    I know we are (rightly) worried by JDS’ defensive frailties, but we really shouldn’t overlook MVE in that area either.

    That’s horrific defending. Wasn’t down our targeted left either.
