i completely agree with what you’re saying and the more i think about it the more it feels like ellis simms is standing at a proper crossroads in his career because we’ve all seen strikers with his physical profile his strength his presence and his ability to score goals but the thing that separates the ones who make a real impact from the ones who just drift along is that ruthless streak that absolute refusal to be handled by defenders and right now it feels like simms has been hovering somewhere in between those two worlds because there are moments where you see him bully a defender hold up the ball perfectly and stick it in the back of the net and you think yes that’s the player we need every single week but then there are stretches where he goes quiet he doesn’t really throw himself into challenges he doesn’t dominate aerially like he could and the defenders are able to contain him far too easily and in this division if you give defenders a chance to get comfortable you’ve already lost half the battle because they’re tough physical players who love nothing more than a forward who doesn’t push them to their limits and the thing is we all know he’s got the raw attributes he’s got that heavyweight boxer frame the ability to turn a man the pace to make runs in behind and the finishing touch when he’s confident but confidence only comes if you earn it through hard work aggression and taking risks in games and it’s not just about scoring goals either it’s about being that focal point the kind of player who makes the team play better because he’s occupying two centre backs every game bringing the midfield into play creating space for the wingers and being a nightmare to mark for ninety minutes straight and that’s what i think the expectation has to be for him now because last season there were far too many times where he drifted on the edges of games hoping for service instead of demanding the ball and making things happen himself and we can’t afford for him to be that player again because this is a season where we’re aiming for promotion we’ve got the squad the ambition and the momentum to do something big but it’s going to need our number nine to lead from the front with both goals and presence and if he comes out from the first game with that aggressive mindset throwing himself into every challenge dominating in the air using his body to shield the ball and getting into those ugly scrappy goal scoring positions then he could easily be the twenty goal striker we’ve been missing but if he lets another season pass him by without really stamping his authority on games then his career is going to start drifting because you only get so many chances at this level before clubs start looking at you as a backup rather than a starter and that’s a label that’s hard to shake once it sticks and i think for simms this season is make or break because he’s got everything in his locker to be a top championship striker but he’s got to decide if he’s going to bring it every single week or if he’s going to let it slip away and in football once those chances are gone they’re gone for good

Not judging by last night's gameHoward Webb saying more physicality to be allowed this season. Let's hope that's true
She truly dreadful!Why is Lorna stirring the pot about Simms celebration in a fucking friendly
He did mention that kyogo incident was a grey zone and maybe ref will be spoken to about jtNot judging by last night's game

Eh? The referee let loads go last night, too muchNot judging by last night's game
Both her and RG were made to look like idiots at the Doug King Q&A thing. I cant believe she’s going to be involved so much.She truly dreadful!

38 fouls is mentalEh? The referee let loads go last night, too much
What are those boxes along the touch line? Automated offside?
Yes they were, the ref let lots go too, probably let too many go and didn't use his cards enough, which is why it kept kicking off. If anything the issue was inconsistency in the decisionsWere they deserved? I didn't watch first half really
I'll pay attention to red tof games this
week and hopefully see more flowing games and less stop star.t

It’s a bar. That’s what you do. It’s not a f ing post office!Cunts had better learn that the queue goes down towards the back of the restaurant then. Nothing worse than the away fans just walking up trying to get served.
If it's a grey zone there is nothing to speak aboutHe did mention that kyogo incident was a grey zone and maybe ref will be spoken to about jt
I agree. And a slight nudge when airborne can have big impact and lead to goal so I don't mind that one so much. Can go either way and not worth over analysingIf it's a grey zone there is nothing to speak about
Embarrassingly so.Both her and RG were made to look like idiots at the Doug King Q&A thing. I cant believe she’s going to be involved so much.
