Exactly, but it’s hard to prove a point when youv‘e only been getting a few mins off the Bench, I’d start him saturday and give him a few games, hope Lampard gives him a fair chance,I really hope we perservere with Simms. He's proven he can score goals, just need him in a more ruthless mindset
I think 442 will end up being our go to when Haji is fit, him and Simms up top together, Tatsu and EMC out wide with Sheaf and Rudi in the center, back four of Milan, Thomas, Kitching and Bidwell with Dovin in goal
Wasn't that when Liam Daish got carded at Blues, recall we all were saying wtf but Dion had a stormer. Let's play Kitchen he's bound to get sent offScoring goals isn’t our problem, remember when dublin went centre half, maybe simms could play there
I mean it’s kinda a 4-4-2 now (let me copeIt's not happening
League Cup at St Andrews??? I remember being there.Wasn't that when Liam Daish got carded at Blues, recall we all were saying wtf but Dion had a stormer. Let's play Kitchen he's bound to get sent off
Should of gone to the World Cup that year, 2 class players in 1, I’ve said the same, kitching will be that keen in his first start he’ll get a redWasn't that when Liam Daish got carded at Blues, recall we all were saying wtf but Dion had a stormer. Let's play Kitchen he's bound to get sent off
I remember him playing centre half at Wimbledon when we needed a result to stay up. Best player on the pitchScoring goals isn’t our problem, remember when dublin went centre half, maybe simms could play there

Also Leicester away when he scored both goals in a 2-0 win & Arsenal away in a 0-0 drawI remember him playing centre half at Wimbledon when we needed a result to stay up. Best player on the pitch
I would start him over Bassette or BTA right now easily.Simms race is run with me. I'd sell him in a heartbeat in Jan. Scoring goals hasn't been an issue for us with Simms or without.
His lack of effort is something I can't stand and there's very little game situation I'd have him over Haj, Norm or BTA.
He was so good either at central defender or forward. Had a brilliant game at Wimbledon.I remember him playing centre half at Wimbledon when we needed a result to stay up. Best player on the pitch

Funnily enough though, he caused us to get a penalty which got us a point while Norman struggled to get involvedHe had 3 touches in 24 minutes against Cardiff, as ineffective as Yakubu when were chasing a game.

Happy to have a you told so at the end of year but think with the width of our attack and how many balls we put into the box, Wright and Simms will be the best strikers in this system.If Simms had started against Cardiff, we win the game. They had 10 behind the ball for most of the game when we had possession. At least if you get the ball into the box more, Simms is going to cause problems, due to his sheer size.
We've looked good at home against...Oxford, Luton, Blackburn & Sheff Utd. All of those came with attacking intentions, so we were able to play our fast counter attack football. The likes of Norwich, Swansea, Cardiff, Sheff Weds, Derby parked the bus.
Bassette is a great option when we're countering, but when teams are there to stifle us you need Simms in there.
Bassette didn’t do anything. He’s so raw, bit of a headless chicken unless he’s playing vs a high line and constantly getting in behind.He had 3 touches in 24 minutes against Cardiff, as ineffective as Yakubu when were chasing a game.

I’m sure some will disagree but Simms plays the traditional centre forward role the best of the 3, has prescience, sticks to the right areas and occupies defenders.

Yep, for most of the first half, Bassette was completely taken out of the game just stuck in between their two CB's.
Simms is a lot more suited to those situations and occupying their central defenders.
Completely different strikers though to be fair. Would be interested to see them play together, but don't think it will happen if we're sticking with 4-3-3 now
I think Bassette could play wide left if he could be trained. Has the pace and skill and has put a few decent balls I’m from there.
