I find the Simms pile-on a little strange. If we don’t go up this season, it’s not because of anyone’s failure to score goals, it’s the comedy routines at the back that have screwed us over for two years in a row now.

Yeah, Simms as a whipping boy is fully weird.

Have to agree Simms first touch is awful. Just seems to bounce away from him all the time nothing sticks to him

His 2nd 3rd and 4th touches aren't great either to be fair

I think what we are saying is outside of Gyok and Godden, and maybe for the goalscoring Wright, our forwards in this league have not been great

Well it's certainly got plenty of criticism and I'll take that, but it is a forum for opinions. In truth, I posted it on the coach immediately after the game and on Monday and partly to get a rise out of Grendel which has backfired, but in reality, a surprising amount of people have selected Max.

What is interesting is that actually Max had his last season in the Championship. In slightly less minutes from 25 games (19 starts) he only scored 1 goal less than Ellis has. Most on here would agree he was limited at this level, but what you could never question was his effort. Pound for pound, he was approximately 10% of what we're paying Simms if the reported figures are correct (£2,500 v £25,000) and if we believe that Ellis is really leaving it all out there and putting it in, then that's probably an even bigger indictment on his ability.

Simms is way younger in the Championship than Max was and there should be much more to come from Sims. Time will tell.
Max was doing ok in his last season in the Championship and his attitude was exemplary. Unfortunately, he got a bad injury after Robins said he was well on the way to earning another contract. Like Dabo, think Max's career has been scuppered by injury. When fit, I think Max was proving to be a good mid-table Championship player.

Mmmm. Running out of patience with Ellis Simms and his lack of desire against Hull when he should have thrown himself at the ball at the far post for a tap in. Same again for Plymouth’s first goal-lack of desire to make an effort to close the man down and stop the cross coming in.

Godden is at his level now. You need to be talking Buamou or Godden.

The Plymouth one he was the only one with desire to close the man down for the cross everyone else was walking up

Oggy disagreed and he compared to their striker who bust a gut to do it rather than aimlessly putting a leg out with no actual desire to make a blovk

He was the only one pushing out and closed him down though was he not?

However much you dislike Biamou, you have to accept he was integral to the squad and his goals have contributed to us being where we are. He is part of our history and story and, in a sliding doors moment, his goals at Notts County were the catalyst for our rise.

Imagine if you can lock Simms and Haji in a room for 24 hours watching Gyokeres and the effort he put in.

So fucking laid back and soft. Ellis was nearly in tears when he fouled their player and thought he'd hurt him. Utter embarrassment.

Lock them in a room watching Gyokeres and Russo playing as strikers.

Probably the best pure athlete I've seen play for us as well rapid but strong and technically outstanding.

Without the same physical strength, but MVE is a prime athlete too I'd say.

I’d back Godden to score at least 10 goals a season in the Championship right up until his 99th birthday.

Godden was starting to struggle at this level, but I think a lot of people have now realised he actually did a decent job when called upon.

…still a better finisher than what we currently have as well. Same as when he was here.

Simms is poor. Offload in the summer. Just doesn’t have the ruthlessness his position or his style of play requires

Id take Clive Platt at this point. At least he won a header.
