Why dont we support our players rather than dig them out when they put in an equal performance to the rest of the squad?
Nobody would be moaning about simms if he had scored 19 in 44 league games ffs , honestly what are you even on about at this point
The records you've just put up are good
He did last season. Unless goals in the quarter and semi finals of FA Cup no longer count now?
Posters like you and Grendel have consistently use the argument of games ‘x’ player has scored in. The point here was to demonstrate that the top scorers in the league will score in a surprising small % of games they play. For example, Piroe and Sainz have scored in less than 1 in 3 matches they play because they have had multiple matches where they’ve scored more than 1 goal.
In his last 47 league appearances including this season hes scored a goal every 436 minutes ..
Its not good enough , end of story dont matter what waffle you come up with
Jesus christHow many minutes is that out of curiosity? In that select timeframe, he’s had many sub appearances less than 10 minutes.
Forget it , total waste of time honestly
Jesus christ
It is because you’re manipulating the numbers and you know it.
Despite all of what you, Grendel and anyone else, in all competitions, Simms scores a goal per 212 minutes since he’s joined us.
Divide the total number of minutes he’s played for us and the goals and you’ll get the exact same number as I have.
I’ve already accepted that this season hasn’t been great and this obviously needs to improve next season and all you’ve done is drone on the same point.
You haven't accepted it , as you're waffling and talking about his record including cup games etc etc etc ..
Since leeds at home last April hes scored a goal every 439 minutes .. thats it .. so times 439 by 6 and you will get how long hes played
I ask because no one knows how you’ve come up with that figure.
I’ll show my working out:
Total minutes played: 5501
Total goals scored: 26
MPG: 211.57
You’ve discounted 2 goals against Man U and Bristol City for no good reason. If you want to rate a player by their goal scoring, there’s no good reason to discount competitions.
Simms also didn’t make a consecutive start from September 2024 to Jan 2025 so his appearances were mostly dribs and drabs of 10-20 minutes here annd there.
Besides, his goals in our run in Feb (alongside BTA) were instrumental to where we are today and I’ve yet to see you or Grendel acknowledge that. Give credit where it’s due at least.
I'm struggling with you tbh , because you simply aren't listening
This season in the league 2155 minutes
Last 6 games last season after leeds 463 minutes
6 goals in his last 47 league games that equalled 2618 minutes
2618 minutes divided by 6 goals scored since leeds at home last season
Hes scored a goal every 436 minutes in THE LEAGUE since leeds last season 47 appearances ago
1 goal almost every 5 appearances IN THE LEAGUE SINCE LEEDS LAST SEASON
hope this helps !!!!!
Its his fucking league formIt’s just a really odd timeframe to use.
@Jimmy87 any other snippets on potential areas of priority - GK for example / centre half?Yes good to know they having been continuously working, whatever position we finish. Big recruitment meeting in London last week too, hopefully they have a good list together by now.
Does his name start with J?I heard domestic, Saddle said he had heard the same. That's why i'm hoping it's nailed on. The fact it was said specifically 'whether we go up or not' led me to believe that discussions may have already been ongoing.
Jamal Lewis.Does his name start with J?
Yes I have heard but didn't wanna say incase everyone cries it puts transfer in jeopardyJamal Lewis.
Its his fucking league form
This season a goal every 359 minutes in the league 1 in 4
Jamal Lewis.
Because it was the end of his good form in the league , thats why i started there not because I want to make him look bad , because thats how he has played since his good spell in the leagueWhy just April? Does it have something to do with the fact he scored 5 goal in March and 4 goals in Jan through Feb…
More importantly, how does Simms MPG compare to BTA and Bassette? They’re your alternatives for the rest of the season so best to use them as a baseline.
I’ve used Simms total stats because there’s no selection there. It’s what he’s done with good and the bad. Despite the lowlights, he’s still 1 in every 212 minutes.
Which is not good enough, you’re right. It’s not terrible though. At least this is a more honest than your previously, highly selected timeframes.
Personally I absolutely detest MPG as a metric. It completely lacks context.
Which bit am I missing? Master of knowledge?Hardly started
It's useful to know something about what you're posting on
I think by now lampard knows who’s going to be in his plans next season and I doubt Simms is part of them, just isn’t at the level he’s not the only one,
Go on then, post the stats..starting v subs...Hardly started
It's useful to know something about what you're posting on
You said hardly started. He's started 24 league games. That's over half. He's also come on as sub in another 17 of them and only 3 games he's not featured. Just how much of a chance does he need? But to say he's 'hardly started' as you did is clearly bollocks!Which bit am I missing? Master of knowledge?
Think the problem is that most of the players people want moving on are on decent length contracts so they won't be in a rush to move.
You’re right when it comes to small sample sizes. After a season or two worth of data, I don’t think it is.
This season a goal every 359 minutes in the league 1 in 4
Numbers really aren't your thing are they? He's started 16 games under Frank and been on 10 as sub, so if anything he's featured even more under Lampard. It's also 59% v 41% on starting v sub not '50PC'. He's also featured in 93%of matches over the season. I've been at almost all of them and certainly enough to form an opinion. If you want to quote assits to helping his numbers then he has 2 assists in 41 matches and no he didnt set up the goal, it was saved and Wright put in the rebound.So basically he started 50 PC...A lot of them at the start of the season, when the whole team were aiming for relegation. How many under Frank? The whole team were shite.. didn't he set up the goal? Didn't he flick a header onto Wright, where Wright should have scored?
