Rings true. Do you have ITK feedback from the tea lady.
Rings true. Do you have ITK feedback from the tea lady.Well yes as OBikwu will be on loan
His presence?Usual drivel by the usual " we must hate one of our players " brigade .
Simms started virtually every game during our incredible mid season run last season , while he wasn't prolific his presence allowed others to play off him and find areas to hurt the opposition.
He is far from the finished article but as a back up to Wright he is more than a good enough back up
Well argued. I noticed his poor shooting technique in the warm ups, he seems to want to blast it all the time whereas Haji though he hits it firmly can really place the ball in a corner or the roof of the net.There’s more than just trapping where he falls short. Link up play is dreadful and we invite pressure from the opposition when he plays because nothing sticks to him. His shooting is abysmal and genuinely the technique is amateur. Watch him do the shooting drill next time you go to a game.
Is he really ideal physically? I wouldn’t say he’s particularly strong, gets outmuscled a lot. He’s not quick either. As for his heading ability, for someone of his size he leaves a lot to be desired.
Jordan Pontecilli smashed it at youth level and has just been released from my local NLN side so that doesn’t really mean that much. Likelihood is, he probably was a lot more physically developed than the others around him which is why he excelled at youth level but now does not have that advantage.
His record elsewhere wasn’t particularly great either.
Called it at Leicester always on his debut that he was a poor footballer and he has not improved at all since then. Passenger.
im not sure taking down the forum because fans
It is pathetic.Are you OK hun?
Yeah let's take this place down because someone has a different view
Threatening violence now. No suprise.Shot? Now there's an idea! If we can't sell him and Collins, shoot them. We used to do it with race horses. Maybe we should do it with footballers!
Give them a date, tell them they either improve, find a willing buyer, or they'll be shot and turned in to glue!

This is the second thread about him in weeks. It is pathetic.What an absolutely wimpy response - calling for the forum to be taken down because of peoples opinions on Simms ffs
Plus why do you think he's not playing? Because he's not good enough - unbelievably feeble comment
This is the second thread about him in weeks. It is pathetic.
Please stop, you’re embarrassing yourself. Why are you so emotionalThis is the second thread about him in weeks. It is pathetic.
Please stop, you’re embarrassing yourself. Why are you so emotional
I'm not embarrassed. The morons on here should be. I won't back down to bullies. There is a thread on here , about mental health. Yet day, day out, there seems to be a thread doing, just this. If it was for one day and people make their opinions known , fair enough, but it carries on day, after day. Simms, is the latest one, again. He has played in 2 games, scored a goal, won a game, as a result. He didn't play badly, the other night. Certainly, a lot worse, than him, but no , it's back to Simms. I'll be leaving the forum, after this, because it is a cesspit and an embarrassment to Cov City. Same usual suspects. There are about 8 and they dominate.Please stop, you’re embarrassing yourself. Why are you so emotional
Not really. He’s a top earner and is not performing and hasn’t since his one and only purple patch. Criticism is justified.He has a point. What is embarrassing is the amount of slating Simms gets on here to be honest.
He was our second worst rated player. Majority of games he plays he’s the worst.I'm not embarrassed. The morons on here should be. I won't back down to bullies.

One bloke on here wants to take it further , than commenting, another wants him shot. No doubt the second one meant to be a sick joke. It is pathetic.Not really. He’s a top earner and is not performing and hasn’t since his one and only purple patch. Criticism is justified.

In fairness this thread is 6 months oldThis is the second thread about him in weeks. It is pathetic.
If Simms could manage a football as well as you manage all your multi accounts we'd have the new Marco Van Basten on our ha
I only have this account.If Simms could manage a football as well as you manage all your multi accounts we'd have the new Marco Van Basten on our hands!
Brilliant post , this forum has turned into a sewer, it was Wright after the playoffs, now Simms. Grendel leading the charge, followed by Saddlebrains.
We’ve started the league season with 2 wins and a draw… why are talking about Ellis Simms? It’s v odd. This season, he’s started 2 games and scored 1.
In the meantime, Haji has scored 3 goals and BTA has 2.
He's good enough as long as the other teams think that they have to mark him!Because if Wright gets injured he is not good enough to lead the line and ideally needs replacing
Because if Wright gets injured he is not good enough to lead the line and ideally needs replacing
Ok, even more of a reason to take it down. No doubt it would start up again.In fairness this thread is 6 months old
Like in Jan-Feb last year when BTA and Simms scored game winning goals?
We did this to death in preseason. BTA and Simms have decent goal scoring records in the championship, they are capable of filling in for Haji.
The same Haji Wright you and many others wanted to play LW and continued to trot out the line ‘he looks better down the left’ when in reality, that was only the case for 2 months in 2023/24. Since then, he’s scored most of his goals playing upfront.
Whatever your opinion on BTA/Simms, clearly wingers are a higher priority. Sakamoto is injured and EMC is having his minutes managed and we’re still in August. BTA isn’t an out and out winger and we’ve had KKH and Brau fill in out wide.
That will actually cost us because the top teams in this division that will have wingers that will individually score 8-15 goals.
Not to mention outside of that, when he's not scoring he's doing absolutely nothing other than ambling about. So that's just the 45 of his last 50 games then.How on earth am I leading the charge
All I do is quote the stats
15 of his goals came in a 14 game burst over seven weeks
He scored 6 all last season
He scored in 2 of his first 26 league games for us
He has scored in 5 of his last 50 games
They are the facts
You mean like last season,when Wright was injured and Simms and Assante played together and we shot up the league. You say, you just show stats, you don't. Go on Grendel, show us the stats during that run. Goals, points, everything!Because if Wright gets injured he is not good enough to lead the line and ideally needs replacing
Thought you just posted stats!If SImms is any good clubs would want to buy him. Lampard does not rate him. To suggest otherwise is foolish - he said after the last game the fringe players did nothing to impress. We need a striker whose cost a lot of money to be far more than a guy not coming on until 10 minutes before the end
Are you as angry at lampard as you are with us , because frank clearly doesnt rate himYou mean like last season,when Wright was injured and Simms and Assante played together and we shot up the league. You say, you just show stats, you don't. Go on Grendel, show us the stats during that run. Goals, points, everything!
I'm not angry, just don't like constant bullying of one player. Frank doesn't like Basette either. Perhaps start a new thread about him. He is a youngish lad, as well. Go on, you can trash him, as well. Or Obikwu, Franks not playing him either!Are you as angry at lampard as you are with us , because frank clearly doesnt rate him
Bassette gets absolutely flamed on hereI'm not angry, just don't like constant bullying of one player. Frank doesn't like Basette either. Perhaps start a new thread about him. He is a youngish lad, as well. Go on, you can trash him, as well. Or Obikwu, Franks not playing him either!
