I think it's actually more of a decision thing than a first touch with Simms. I think he actively looks for a quick knock down to someone to progress, but sometimes gets the direction wrong or the recipient doesn't expect it.People keep saying this about his first touch. Weren't his first two goals the other night possible because of a good first touch?

He couldn't trap a bag of sand I've often said . However I have to say the other night his first touch couldn't have been better. Absolutely superb.People keep saying this about his first touch. Weren't his first two goals the other night possible because of a good first touch?

I think he'll probably come out of his shell a bit more but yeah it just seems to be his natureYou can see on the City Unseen vid after the match when Simms is being interviewed,Palmer's trying to distract him & make him laugh but Simms is having none of it & Palmer just gives up & says something like 'He's being serious' - it's just the way Simms is
I think most people see potential. We need to replace Godden anyway so another 2 strikers will be better. But, we’ve scored more goals this season anyway.Many city fans have got themselves in position where they've convinced themselves this lad is the business and improving ..
Personally I've been trying to convince myself all season he will be good but he simply can't hit a ball cleanly at all 90% of the time .
I don't know what to think in reality , I feel like he's underwhelming , and needs to improve substantially next season , personally think we need a new striker as a priority
Seen him described as the ‘worst opposition striker we’ve seen at the Hawthorns in a while’ by a few Baggies fans…
Has done for most of the season if we are honest with ourselvesIf an oppo striker put four or five in the stand and shanked a few with his shin and ankle we’d be saying the same. He looked an absolute carthorse last night.

Some of the media pundits seem to be openly going after Simms now. Not going to do him any good.
Wont do his resale value any good either.
He’s still young and I have no doubt will have a very successful career and certainly much better than fans favourite Godden has had.Simms is fucking shit
A hatty v some plumbers doesnt change that
Hes dense aswell by all accounts
I totally agree. Some people are just blinded by love for the club.Let's be honest here, both Wright and Simms have been a colossal waste of money.
1 can't hit a cows arse with a banjo and the other can't even play in his position. Just imagine the type of winger we could have got for 9 million.

He’s a confidence player. His shooting last night was poor but another week one of those hits will go in.
The intellect point is a red herring. Wayne Rooney isn’t the brightest, didn’t impact him too much on the pitch.
McF is also not the sharpest tool in the box, doesn’t matter really it’s about how your football brain works on the pitch. For me Simms has the attributes needed to be a strong forward in this league but he’s so reserved and inhibited that you have a lot of work on your hands to coax it out.Simms is fucking shit

Genuinely could not give a toss what the opposition think of our players very much like I couldn't care less whether we are liked as a fanbase or notSeen him described as the ‘worst opposition striker we’ve seen at the Hawthorns in a while’ by a few Baggies fans…
For a guy of his size he just gets bulliedMcF is also not the sharpest tool in the box, doesn’t matter really it’s about how your football brain works on the pitch.

Wright is similar and has made a fist of it on the left but let’s be honest, he wasn’t signed to play out there. They were signed with the intent of playing as a duo.
‘He’s a confidence player. His shooting last night was poor but another week one of those hits will go in.’
Go in where? Outta space!?
It’s getting borderline funny now, everyone saying give him time, there’s a player in there somewhere etc.
First touch is stonking, for a big man is soft as paper, cant hit a ball to save his life, could continue.
We’ve had our pants pulled down by Everton, only upside is he’s not going to meet the triggers for paying more if it’s based on goals.

Robins will know by now that whilst some of his acquisitions this year have looked good, he's paid way too much for two bang average forwards . Neither consistently have been impressive. I would say both have improved marginally from early doors but they are not the future if we have any ambition of promotion next season.
Hardly had our pants pulled down. Ipswich and Sunderland also offered similar sums we offered more upside on promotion etc
He’s had a decent run recently. Just poor finishing last night but wasnt the only one
