Hardly squeaked past, should have won more comfortably.

I hope FL puts his arm around his shoulder and tells him that, if he carries on playing like that, the goals will surely come.

It almost breaks my heart to see Simms looking so down. He worked hard tonight and did some good stuff. I really want the goals to start coming for him, as much for his sake as the team's.

It's too dramatic. Simms has just been brought round after being cryogenically frozen in 1972. He'll come good once he's back up to room temperature. I wanted to nickname him Udon because if you watch him trying to win a long ball you'd have better luck just chucking a Pot Noodle at the ball. Arms and legs everywhere but 0 chance of getting the ball. Everyone else has a got a GPS tracker in their sports vest but Simms has got a little sachet of spices in his.

I get the anger towards those jeering Simms, it was moronic, but let's look at this sensibly and not go too far the other way.

Whilst he scored a goal, which I am happy about, he still missed a lot of chances and didn't really look that good. Him and BTA are two equally frustrating players for different reasons. One annoys you and the other one then looks better, then switch back and repeat. It's like an alternating pattern and I feel some people are too keen to overcompensate some times.

I still think we need better this season than both of them if I am perfectly honest.

Still, we won and I'll take it every day.

Certainly not going to replace Saka but there are aspect of his game that are admirable and we don’t have any similar style players. I feel like he’d struggle against a decent quality Champ fullback.
Click to expand...
If you had a higher quality player with the similar attributes of Rapha, he’d start ahead of Sakamoto imo.

His directness is admirable and had a little bit of magic that led to the goal. It was a v solid outing.

There was an element of game management at play, but thought we looked more potent in the wide channels with Andrews and Rapha playing. That said, Rudoni was a class above and put 2-3 chances on a plate for Simms to finish.

Sorry, but championship strikers should at least hit the target with at least 3 out of the 5 chances he had.

Honestly I’m convinced the way he plays defies his build.

He’s more an Inzaghi-esque striker e.g. right place, right time (not in terms of quality / ability for all you people who suffer with context / nuance in discussions!).

He always finds himself with the ball near or at his feet in great positions, almost by accident. The other bit should come naturally, maybe, hopefully…

I actually think FL will revert to Simms up top after the first few games. Wright just doesn't seem to have 'it' when playing up top. Didn't under Robins in those first dozen matches, and aside from Sunderland at home, he hasn't under Lampard.

I think he scored in his first competitive match in months. Missed two sitters but got into position and led the line reasonably well.

He was better in the 9 role than both BTA and Wright were on Saturday.

He is still some way off where we need him to be, but the points above still stand.

Not at all. I’d love to see him score hatfuls of goals. It’s a match thread. He was awful against very very mediocre opposition. Nothing against him. Just a view on the game.

He did miss chances but got the all important winning goal. You look back at Vik and all the chances he missed, you wouldn’t have predicted he’d be an elite striker, he led the ‘big chances missed’ by a country mile in 21/22 and 22/23.

He got in good goal scoring positions, got a goal and anything else was a bonus. Besides, had he scored a hattrick, it wouldn’t have ‘really’ counted by the ‘games scored in’ brigade.

Haji looked good today in bits and pieces but really needed to get him in a game where we’re creating those clear cut chances to really show his skill as a striker.

Scapegoat indeed, I heard a group of lads slagging him off on Saturday even though he hadn’t even played.

He is more than capable as a deputy to Haji Wright as things stand.

Two clean sheets to start the season is a positive as well imo, especially given that we haven't really looked that much like conceding either
