I have stayed off this forum, after being absolutely battered supporting Simms and Assante. Got total abuse. How are people feeling? Tomtrad43 ( from memory slaughtered me)..Any comments?
Absolute pony . Allen was very good tonight and hit a lovely pass for the fourth goalTurning into a really good squad! Think the only sub tonight which lowered the quality was Jamie Allen! We’ve just moved forward and he’s not at the standard required or expected anymore.
he wasn’t very good that is hyperbole.Absolute pony . Allen was very good tonight and hit a lovely pass for the fourth goal
Didn't do much at all wrong eitherhe wasn’t very good that is hyperbole.
What did he do wrong ?he wasn’t very good that is hyperbole.
The most mental stat from allen tonight is he won nearly every aerial duelWhat did he do wrong ?
He pressed and tackled high up the pitch , dovetailed well with Grimes and set up the fourth goal . Personally thought he brought more calmness to the middle of the park
One thing to say about both of them, is that they both look a lot fitter.BTA is what he is , he can look scruffy in possession but works tirelessly and will score goals.
Simms has all the tools but needs to believe in himself , hopefully his last two cameos have shown him he can play a big part this season
Wow , didn't know that about their injuries . Kudos to both for playing through them .One thing to say about both of them, is that they both look a lot fitter.
Simms had a recurring problem with the bone in his toe last season, a very similar injury to that of EMC, which started very early on in the season. He played with injections when Wright was out and i don't believe he was ever fully fit.
BTA had a chronic problem and it eventually caught up with him and put him out for some time. Looking back, you could see he was struggling.
They both seem to have come back looking sharper. The whole team does to be honest, credit to the staff and to the team, they are all pushing each other and there is a great togetherness.
Yeah credit to both of them, Eccles too who played with a knee problem for a while.Wow , didn't know that about their injuries . Kudos to both for playing through them .
Definitely seeing BTA at his best this season and starting to see Simms gain confidence too .
Both will be vital this season if we want automatic promotion
Why even say that? Clearly a squad player and never lets us down. What exactly did he do that warrants singling out?Turning into a really good squad! Think the only sub tonight which lowered the quality was Jamie Allen! We’ve just moved forward and he’s not at the standard required or expected anymore.

Yes my reading of the game too. Seriously feels like people just get bored of players. Bit like those who thought we were 'past' Eccles.I thought he was very good tonight, came on when we were under the pump and settled us down .
He is and always has been a more than adequate Championship level player
Do you have intel at the club? how do you know if Allen moans about lack of game time or not?Yes my reading of the game too. Seriously feels like people just get bored of players. Bit like those who thought we were 'past' Eccles.
Allen is a great squad player, he's not moaning about the place when his game time is restricted. He is always full of energy and brings a bit of maturity that is a calming influence.
Far too many people being uncharitable to Simms and BTA. Any rumours about us lining up moves up for Jan?Yeah credit to both of them, Eccles too who played with a knee problem for a while.
The start to the season will help massively as the confidence of the whole team is up.
Long may it continue, a welcome addition or two in January and there may be less panicking about depth + squad capability.
I asked him when we played Brum, he said they had already had agent contact about a winger, no other whispers yet.Far too many people being uncharitable to Simms and BTA. Any rumours about us lining up moves up for Jan?
Well maybe not but there are such things as context clues! He never looks like he's sulking he seems happy and part of the squad. His deal was extended, can't remember if that was just triggered or not but it to me it feels like he knows the role he has to play.Do you have intel at the club? how do you know if Allen moans about lack of game time or not?
I’d be happy if we get Raj-Sakai (Palace) over the line as rumoured on deadline day. My “optimistic” hope is that we go for someone with real ‘X-factor’, in a similar vain to when Burnley signed Edwards last Jan.I asked him when we played Brum, he said they had already had agent contact about a winger, no other whispers yet.
Except he provided the pass out wide for the lead up to the 3rd or 4th.Turning into a really good squad! Think the only sub tonight which lowered the quality was Jamie Allen! We’ve just moved forward and he’s not at the standard required or expected anymore.
Some still need a boo boy even when we are flyingExcept he provided the pass out wide for the lead up to the 3rd or 4th.
Did Rak-Sakyi end up going on loan somewhere?I’d be happy if we get Raj-Sakai (Palace) over the line as rumoured on deadline day. My “optimistic” hope is that we go for someone with real ‘X-factor’, in a similar vain to when Burnley signed Edwards last Jan.
Depending on Rudoni’s situation too may dictate if we go for a AM. I think Oggy mentioned on CWR tha he’d heard his shoulder is in a bad state and seemed to imply surgery is a possibility!
Rak-Sakyi is playing in Turkey this seasonDid Rak-Sakyi end up going on loan somewhere?
Haven't heard anything about the severity of Rudi's shoulder injury, only that he was playing with it heavily strapped every game. We were saying last game that it seems as though he may go down a similar road to Bellingham who ended up having to have the surgery after playing so long with the strapping on. Could well be the case.
Yeah i thought i'd heard that somewhere.Rak-Sakyi is playing in Turkey this season
Sorry to Jimmy?I'm expecting his signing an extension to his contract a bit premature but probably necessary?
Rudi?Sorry to Jimmy?
Yeah.Rudi?
Rak-Sakyi is playing in Turkey this season
I missed that, the Turkish transfer window was open slightly longer than ours, isn’t it?Did Rak-Sakyi end up going on loan somewhere?

Hopefully that's something they can get sorted, i don't know anything about how close that is.Yeah.
