Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms (1 Viewer)

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

TOP signing if it comes off.

Top player with a better hit rate than viktor in the championship this season.....

Exciting times.

It's nice to be right..... although I also rated Connor Thomas tbf!

Anyway...this thread perfectly highlights why we should have one official player thread per season....

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

So, am I right in saying Simms is on 15 in all competitions?

Haji is on 16?

Both on 16 (for comparison last season Gyokeres and Hamer scored a total of 33)

I think they're both on 16

Made me laugh tbh

 

[Briles]

It was clear from the start that him and haji needed time to adjust to the way we play and Robins ethos. As with other players. The problem was some fans wanted a ready made gyokeres replacement. It doesn’t work like that

 

[Chris1987]

On my way back from Huddersfield and Simms was magnificent today. The work he's doing tracking back is a polar opposite to earlier on the season. He's a proper handful for any defence. Love the guy

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

What a difference some confidence makes. Unfortunate not to end up with another hat trick today

They were shite for 2/3 of the season, that's why they got stick, they couldn't trap or control a football, and Simms inpaticular didn't work hard enough. None of that is to do with "gelling" or adjusting to our style.

Confidence helps massively of course, and they both benefited from starting to score,
But let's not kid ourselves that we haven't seen some very poor performances from both players earlier in the season.

Something changed after the second international break, (maybe some personal one to one training?) and since then they have worked harder and both have improved dramatically, they're both having a purple patch in front of goal at the moment and long may it continue.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

When were on form there’s no escape, push up to compress and we’ll hit MvE and Wrigtt he over the top and Simms through the middle. Back off and Palmer and Sheaf get room to play, drop back and Kitching and Thomas can join in with incisive passing. It’s such a good team.

We looked quite open second half but not sure we concede without a mistake

 

[procdoc]

Wright now 6th top scorer in the league, level with Sargent. Simms catching up too. I hope they aren’t too tired against Cardiff

 

[procdoc]

That’s the big question isn’t it. Simms has had a bit of a rest. Wright hasn’t. Really need 3 points on Monday

Wouldn’t shock me to see Wright on the bench, bring O’Hare in and start Palmer on the right perhaps

Theres no doubt the management and coaching staff have been working on both but I still believe confidence is the main driver

These were two young guys, one moving to a new league and new country with a young family, the other even younger (also I think with a little un) moving to a new team and area. Our squad had a massive upheaval in the summer and struggled to find a style/identity early doors, yet some fans still felt it was ok to give new lads dogs abuse and write them off after a dozen games.

It’s not surprising that once we had a more settled system and they got a bit of confidence, things started to click. Chuffed for both of them

Great to see him smiling today . Genuinely think he’s going to be massive for us over the coming seasons

 

[Londonccfcfan]

So basically since February he's been fantastic , and the player we all want to see ..lots of us have given him pelters and probably gave up on him too soon , there's no doubt now that ellis simms is coventrys main man now

20 league goals next season maybe ?

He coukd get this season in all competitions. His mins per goal now isn't out of place in top scorers list. Goal every 189 mins. Upward trajectory.

Yes, but some people saw that potential, others didn't

 

[clint van damme]

Might get a return on my E/W Championship top scorer bet at this rate.

Great atmosphere around the club at the minute. Really good group of lads Robins and co. have assembled, and it shows on the pitch.

 

[Winny the Bish]

First goal looked like Prime Gyokeres. Love to see it.

Thought the same, the way he got face on with the defender.
The 2nd is being a bit overlooked because of how good the first was but it was a very good finish at the end of a decent move.

Since the turn of the year, Simms is the most prolific goalscorer in the top four divisions with 13 goals in 18 games in all competitions.

I'd feel sick if I was Everton and I sold this guy when they're begging for goals.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I have just had a look back to the start of this and it’s amazing how many of the players we were linked with we got, Whittaker is the one that we didn’t get that stands out.

I would love to get Hardie next season as a Godden replacement. If they get relegated. He's a top top player

How’s this then. Read about Simms accolade.

It's happening just like I predicted!!!

 

[wingy]

When did that psychology woman join,any connection?

 

[The watchmaker]

 

[covcity4life]

First goal was pure class

Sporting readying a 40m vid with 150m release clause

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Our attacking options for next season are fucking scary,
Left Wing - Haji and EMC
Right Wing - Sakamoto and MvE
Striker - Simms and someone new

Ellis Simms is the best…

Better than Gyökeres.

Better than anyone…

Anyone we’ve ever met.


Whenever he starts…

At home, or when we play away.

Oh, he’ll tear you apart

And fire us to Wembley.
