Its a good job we dont have a team full of players that need bitty bitty to perform otherwise we'd probably have not even got closei think simms has been poorly managed this season, starting with robins who didn't know which hole to shit through after adi had gone.
lampard clearly likes confident people (kitching knocking his door asking to play. rudi wanting after hours extra sessions...), but simms isn't one of those people. i think it's just a case of manager and player not being compatible, not that simms has become shit overnight.
lampard played bta and wright upfront in the 2 legs against sunderland, having failed to turn simms' season around. both of which were poor. he has to live with the outcome of those decisions.
after a season of having real strength upfront, let down by the midfield behind it. it's particularly annoying this season to have sorted out most of the midfield issues
According to the forum’s main ITK, Simms very much is one of those people.lampard clearly likes confident people (kitching knocking his door asking to play. rudi wanting after hours extra sessions...), but simms isn't one of those people.

See i've heard completely different, it's one of the reasons he doesn't bother me.
Was told he is very low maintenance, comes in get's his head down, works hard and follows positional instructions.
Stays behind quite a bit and works with the defenders and some other players on late arrivals in the box and set pieces.
because he'd be on the bench if we couldn't afford to bring him on. Love people's powers of reasoning.

Seems like something sisu would do rather than doug king in all honesty

He wasn't injuredHad we gone up that means a profit of 148 million rather than 150 million. If Lampard felt he could be the difference to us going up I'm sure he would have played.
More likely is that he was injured given he has been carrying an issue for a while now and we just put him on the bench to try and kid Sunderland that he was an option off the bench. Lampard doesn't seem the vindictive type to make an example of someone
And Wright wasn't?He didn't play because his season has been hugely disappointing, unfortunately!
And Wright wasn't?
Lampard got it right and it’s extremely simple. Wright is our best forward. BTA is our next best. So Simms didn’t play.
Both legs were made for Simms. Not once did we properly try to get at O'Nein who's 5'9.
We were pumping balls into the box for most of it.
Simms against his old club, fully rested against CB's who had played two long, difficult games should have been brought on.
Disagree. The form Simms is in no game is made for him.Both legs were made for Simms. Not once did we properly try to get at O'Nein who's 5'9.

Got a direct quote calling him lazy?Was simms a Robins signing. I ask as I remember just after we signed him.ans he played a pre season friendly and scored twice Robins called him out and basically said he was lazy which to this day baffles me why he would have said that about a new signing
yes he arrives that late in box its already been clearedView attachment 43249
Yeah and that's all well and good, but at some point they are going to have to introduce him to the ball.
He wasn't injured
We didn't owe any payout for appearances
Management patience has ran out
I really don’t think so.It's gonna be hard to get rid.
I really don’t think so.
We lost....Lampard got it right and it’s extremely simple. Wright is our best forward. BTA is our next best. So Simms didn’t play.
How did that go?It's gonna be hard to get rid.
Apart from one game, he has been dreadfulHe was , but generally wright has had a better season despite being out for a long period
Several teams in this league were reported to be in for him when we signed him. I don’t know if we’ll recoup our fee, but he has enough pedigree, potential and track record in this league for someone to take a punt on him.Really, who's going to sign him then?
Really, who's going to sign him then?
And Wright wasn't shite?Weird, but would explain his omition, but then again why have him on the bench???
And let's be brutally honest. He's been fucking shit for ages. I wouldn't want him anywhere near our first team if I were Lampard.
People tend to really underestimate the size of the market for serviceable Championship players who we don’t want. Someone paid us a fee for Kasey Palmer! Simon Moore is in the Championship playoff final next weekend!Think most mid level Champ clubs would give him a go at <£4m
