In his career at Cov, he averages about a goal every 195 minutes which is good by any reasonable metric. It hammers the point that needs to be played more often rather than having bit part sub cameos.
But again we are talking 10/11 games in 66 appearances in the league
In 80% of his appearances he's not scoring a goal
What am I to say about this it's dogshit for what we paid he can't play anywhere else can he ?? He's a striker that doesn't score often

We don’t know, but Simms was wanted by many teams in our league including Ipswich. Under Robins, he got decision fatigued and couldn’t figure out who he wanted to play. Look at how EMC has thrived since MR has left.Then we go back to asking why managers / coaches continue to not play him regularly

As for Lampard, he’s been here for 7 games, let’s wait how his team develops. It will take months for his tactics and team to take place.
When Robins did play him regularly in the 2nd half of last season, it paid dividends and the sooner Lampard gets him in the team, perhaps he can take advantage of the 19 goal a season he has sitting on the bench behind a rookie.
What’s the alternative to Simms? Bassette and BTA, go and work out their respective ratios.
Maybe there's a transfer already lined up in the January window ? Can't think of any other logical reason why he wouldn't be starting.Ok
Why is nobody playing simms consistently, just answer it
Am I the only one on here who doesn’t know ? Doesn’t care ? And can’t be bothered to google what xG actually is !?
Ok il sit back watch and hope for the best , as for bassette he's a 20 year old kid ( just turned ) who probably didn't imagine he'd be starting every week .
Bassette I worked out his goal minute ratio for his senior career the other day I put it in another thread , Asante doesn't start either really tbh
To be fair mucca , lampard has a former chelsea and England coach and chelsea and Millwall manager helping him , surely if Simms was as good as some on here say they'd have noticed it by now?
For what it’s worth, Bassette will go on to be a good player, my personal opinion is that it’s too much, too young.
On the Lampard point, it’s 7 games in Evo. I don’t think Bassette will keep his place for much longer if the last 2 games are to go by (that’s being slightly kind). The same was being said about Collins and since we’ve brought Dovin back into the team, back-to-back clean sheets. Yes, the difficulty of games have been easier but we don’t look like conceding every shot on target we face now.
With the players we’ve got, it’ll end up being EMC and Wright on the wings. If Sakamoto is getting good looks at the far post, imagine what EMC/Wright can do.If we're actually serious about going up, we'll need better than Sakamoto.
I don't think that's correct (6th best away record).They've got the 6th best away record in the league , you can see why they sit in and are difficult to break down .
Horrible boring game and the speed at which we played did make it easier for them than it should have been
Just had a look, away record is 15th best in the league but only conceded 11 goals away from home which is Joint 4th in the leagueI don't think that's correct (6th best away record).
Bassette hasn’t looked like scoring against either of them. I respect Lampard for actually sticking with a striker because they need consistent game time - Haji Wright had a 5 game drought between his run pre-injury.We've just played the weakest teams in the league for me if you are to get a striker confident or scoring these are the games .
It's just odd that so many people at the club this year and we are still talking about simms in this way , same is happening with kitching and yet nobody seems to be struggling with that one
It's not correct you're rightI don't think that's correct (6th best away record).
Feel a bit for bassette as we are never going to get the best out of him playing like we did first half. However still think Simms suits the system more and Norman would be an menace coming on around the 70 min mark.Bassette hasn’t looked like scoring against either of them.

Robins got to a point where Simms would start, then BTA, then Bassette and the result was that none of them could find form. There were the games that Simms scored in to be dropped.
This is just my opinion, starting Bassette is becoming increasingly untenable because he’s just not impacting the game. Simms probably had more touches in the final third than Bassette did in half the time.
Think they got confused with goals conceded away from home.It's not correct you're right
Sadly think the only way he is coming back is if we got promoted. But the positive news, is we found Gus in the second tier in the Netherlands. We can find someone similar to him in our budget.Need to get Gus back. Pay whatever is needed.
He's the missing link
I think their defence is probably one off the best in the league. All their games seem to be 1 nils or low scoring draws.Just had a look, away record is 15th best in the league but only conceded 11 goals away from home which is Joint 4th in the league

Our approach today played out the way I feared pre-match. With EMC out and Rudoni shifted out wide to drift inside, I thought the onus would be on Bidwell a lot more to provide the width and we’d end up compensating elsewhere. Eccles played a lot deeper than the other day and MVE barely got into the opposition half, which then dragged Sakamoto back 15 yards and took away one of our key weapons. Add to that, he didn’t have the striker-like runs from LW that he can find with an early ball from deep, and it made him largely ineffective. There were a few instances first half where Torp drifted to the right side, gave us a numerical advantage, but instead we turned back. With how neutered MVE was you may as well have given him a rest and played Lati at RB.
A few have called it correctly in that, with EMC and Wright out, we’re missing someone who will carry the ball. Millwall were very compact and prevented the space to play in the half-spaces so we needed to really double up down each flank.
Bassette just ain’t for me…yet. The kid lives offside which is fucking infuriating. Get Simms up there and give him a good run.

Yea, could have moved the ball way faster, got it into the wide players early to give them a chance to actually get at their manThey defended well as a team, and they are missing one of their first choice CBs, but let's be honest we made it very easy for them to defend.
It felt like most of Saka’s passes were backwards and whilst he wasn’t the only person guilty of that, he frustrated me the most.Sakamoto's positional play when we were in possession was poor and showed a disconnect e we with his team mates. When he did get on the ball we all know what he is going to do, drag it back and cut inside onto his left foot. I don't think he successfully did it once to complete a cross!
Same people, same nonsense. ShockBut the point is if decent players are never put in front of him there’s not much he can do.
