Because we are 5 games into a season, it looks like he will be here for the season. He has played 2 games, scored a goal that won one.Of course I'm not a relative or Simms..yet all people do is slag him off. It is bollocks. Always the same ones, as well.Like I say,we wouldn't have made the playoffs, without him.

If you don’t agree with the SBT vocal chav crew then you get sidelined.

He had a run out with the stiffs in a meaningless cup tie.

You should use your 2 brain cells to try and count his League starts!

Below was my take. Feel free to likethefuck out of it.. I could do with improving my post-to-like ratio for @Ccfcisparks m8

usskyblue said:
I genuinely think some of the criticism is fair, but it’s not always balanced.

He’s demonstrated that he can score goals (albeit in one half of a season), he’s strong and can be a handful for defenders.

He does need to work on his first touch but more importantly for me, he needs to figure out the mental side of his game. It’s commonplace for form to fluctuate and even hit long term lows because of confidence, but Ellis appears to have a more chronic issue with confidence that’s definitely holding him back. He’s rightly not going to make the first team unless this changes.

To say he’s shit is a lazy football ‘fan’ mantra. Individuals that actually manage to become professional footballers, let alone play in the Premiership and Championship, aren’t shit. It’s down to poor form, which can include long patches of poor form.

If he leaves in this window, he may thrive in a different environment, however, if he stays, as supporters of our great football club, we need to get behind him and want him to succeed. He’s a more than capable back up striker.

are you new to football supporting? Every single fan has a erratic view on players... you only have to look at how O'Hare went from hero to not that good when he left.

Wouldn't take it so personal. We've seem Simms 103 times hes scored 27. 8 in his last 50. He's got all the attributes to be a good player. He doesn't fit into what we do. so the current view is that he isn't very good.

If he scores 10 in the next 12 he'll be a world beater.... This is football supporters in a nutshell - not bullying or whatever you're crusading against.

Any solution is better, because yours doesn't exist in the real world.

Why would the current Portuguese champions, and one of the great historic names in world football, take our misfiring striker and 'give him a run out' like they're some sort of recuperation suite for footballers?

You might as well propose that we splice his DNA with that of Lionel Messi to try to help improve his first touch.

Nope, not new. Anything but, been going up the City, very young late 60s/ early 70s. I am surprised by the vitriol, after 2 games, this season One goal, which won a game. Thought people might give him a chance, for a bit, at least. But, hey no. Also the abuse you get, if you have a different view.

FFS just one person is defending him like crazy, and one more has chipped in with a strange suggestion for farming him out to a top European side.

Others (including me) have tried to post balanced thoughts, nothing ferocious about it! Can't say the same for all the "dogshit" remarks etc. being thrown out by a few about one of our players.

Why are you surprised? It’s football supporting every fan has a different view to the next. It’s gonna cause another person to thing “what the fuck is that guy watching”

Like I said I wouldn’t take it personally - everyone has a different view…. I’m currently on the view that Rushworth is crap…. 90% on here disagree and have let me know… it’s down the pub football conversations with the lads - like I said everyone on here has an opinion that makes everyone scratch their head.

just brush it off

No, he's a decent Championship striker in a system that plays to his strengths.

Don't think that's going to be us, though, so it would probably be better for all parties if we could find a taker.

In the spirit of “we are all Cov fans”:

I’ve been very impressed with how Gyok got a new agent who then furthered his career. Gyok could have signed for a mid / low prem team; maybe be bench-warmed.

Gyok’s agent got him to a team where he could bang goals against normally L2 defenders and then be on the pitch against Man City.

Now. There are people in this world who are smart cookies. Gyok agent= Smart cookie.

Ring him up. “Ellis Simms - best loan? Portugal? France? Scotland?”

And btw, sassy types - it doesn’t work
