I love seeing him make mugs of defenders, just hope he can do it Championship without seeing some carthorse full-back snap him in two!

Seen a few clips of Tats now and he does that dummy to cross trick a fair bit...I'd be very curious to see how he gets on once he's more well known.

No negative digs here...just interested to see what he can do when the defender doesn't fall for it

Okay it does sound fairly negative but its not

he'll he fine as he also does the same trick but goes inside on his left foot so the defender can't just assume he's dummying to cross

He’ll go inside and keep them guessing, hard to defend against agile players with low centre of gravity

Pretty enjoyable game for the most part. Not a particular high standard of opposition but we played some nice stuff and took our goals well. Sakamoto looked exciting, although don’t know the quality of the opposing full back, and Simms looks a finisher.

Be nice to have a genuine threat down both wings for a change. With that kind of service Simms could get a bag full this season.

Ellis hasn’t done a great deal of training and he’s starting to get there, so to get 80 minutes under his belt was good.

“He’s such a good kid who wants to learn. The work rate will come it has to come because we can’t carry any passengers and he will learn this.

“He’s trying and starting to understand. He isn’t the finished article, but he’s so talented and exciting to work with.”

Strange comment!
You'd think coming from the Premier league that work rate would be a given.

I saw Simms play for Everton up top on his own last season and must admit he didn't exactly do much running. Which is why I think people need to get it out of their head he's not Gyokeres.

Different kind of striker

Well let's hope his work rate is more Gyokeres than Walker.

Anecdotaly with my own eyes, I would say he did well last season, certainly not a weak link, and 6th best feels about right... not that I'm keeping a running tally of all Championship 'keeper's.

Just feel it important to add that I don't credit him alone for our defensive performance. He played his part but if the team weren't as tight at the back as they were, he wouldn't have gotten near the golden glove.

Totally agree.
And any keeper that gets the golden gloves benefits from a good defence and well organised team in front of them

That MR might be even more like Clough than I thought. Reminds me of when Clough got asked when Francis (RIP) would make his debut.

"When I pick him."

Interesting Robins has said again it’s up to Hamer if he signs the contract and that’s now coming to a head.

Of course it is up to Hamer. But Coventry may have to play their hand and reluctantly accept bids. We can't afford for him to take an offer on deadline day (one that might trigger a release clause). We have to keep building for next 2 to 3 seasons.

It’s going to be a nervy 4 weeks with Gus. If he doesn’t sign then we will sell him. Simple as that.
