No early subs please. Just see it out.

 

[shmmeee]

How has Simms touch improved ca Non league oppo?

 

[Paxman II]

I know it's only maidstone but Simms has found himself tonight. from the off he looked like he wanted to fill his boots. I expect he's off at half time for Godden. Tavares looks out of sorts even against this opposition. Palmer can be rested now...getting away with a lot that he would not get away with against better opposition. Robin's can afford not to risk players now for Friday. Expect some wholesale changes.

Give it 10 minutes then Andrews and Godden

 

[Saddlebrains]

Will King getting Kasey Palmer and Ellis Simms mixed up on Twitter isn't a good look

 

[Otis]

Everyone done okay apart from Tavares, unfortunately.

Loses the ball far too easily I'm afraid.

Simms has been great and Torp has just breezed through the half.

I think we should go out and try and bag the 4th to totally kill it off and then make substitutions

 

[Liquid Gold]

"Elllis Simms looks like good value" according to ITV.

Facebook is going to explode.

Can't remember who on here was recommending we sign the Maidstone keeper after the Ipswich game

[fatso]

There left full back looks good to be fair.

He's not really been tested though. I'm looking for more from Tavares in the second half.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Playing at about 25% capacity here and it’s still so comfortable. Some real sloppiness ok the ball at times but doesn’t matter too much when they aren’t going to punish us for it. Hoping we get 6 or 7, especially given how crazy of a high line they’re playing.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Right. Now time to bring out the subs.


Come on Robins, change it!!

The more things change……….
………The more they stay the same

Yeah the sort of game he should be driving at them. Three up, nothing to lose for him really is there.

They are allowing far too much space aren't they. I expected them to be so much tighter.

Absolutely. Get at them! Has to use his pace but really not seen it yet.

 

[Tommo1993]

Their left back isn’t good. He’s just playing against a same level winger. MvE and Sakamoto would be tearing him a new one.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Simms first ever senior level and Coventry hattrick

 

[Otis]

No. I would love to see him shine. Even if only to get a club elsewhere.

Can't see many interested in him based on tonight. He's looked a bit lost and lacking in any physicality.

Don't the French have a phrase for that?

 

[no_loyalty]

Need to hire a hypnotist to get inside Simms head, make him think he’s playing against non league players every game

 

[Liquid Gold]

Would have been sensible for Maidstone to start compact and look to hit us on the break.

They don't really have that option at 3-0 though. The tie is already gone and I think they'd probably prefer 6-1 to 3-0 so one of them gets a goal.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

I worry about Tavares. If you're not showing up against this lot

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Yes!!!

So glad Simms has a hattrick

Been saying it for weeks/months. Show faith in him. He's just going to get better and better.

Now get Godden on for him!

 

[Major Tom]

Absolutely. Get at them! Has to use his pace but really not seen it yet.

Players recover pace at different levels, I don’t think he’s up to speed compared to the pace he had pre injury. Plus a bit of confidence lost too.

 

[jordan210]

Tavares just needs to run at them. Rather than trying step overs and cut backs

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Thought he started very well and just faded. But let's face it he's not a natural right winger. Not an easy task.

 

[hill83]

Get Tavares on at half time

He's played well for a number of games now.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Don't want to see O'Hare or MVE in the 2nd half. Unless we concede 3 goals!

 

[Astute]

@Astute

Would love you to show everyone where I said sign him.

I said worth keeping an eye on him. MOTM against Ipswich. But the clueless on here are always trying to make out I have said something I haven't. My guess is because when they were calling our players shite and a waste of money. Or saying Simms needs game time and a run in the team when the vast majority were calling him worse than shite.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Can't remember who on here was recommending we sign the Maidstone keeper after the Ipswich game, but this just shows why you don't buy a player based on one performance.

Not until after we’ve signed them

I really did think he started well, was passing it nicely, looking to get involved. Then he made a mistake and all the confidence seemed to drain out of him and he's been poor since.

Maybe if he gets on a run then that confidence might come.

 

[no_loyalty]

He's played well for a number of games now.

I know, it was a tongue in cheek remark.

 

[long way home]

Perfect to be 3 up at HT give it 10 and bring a few on but leave who you intend to start against WBA on the bench. Expect to see Godden, Andrews, JDS and Lusala at some point.

And O hare

 

[Somerset Sky Blue]

Don't want to see O'Hare or MVE in the 2nd half. Unless we concede 3 goals!

O'hare on!

But the clueless on here
