Another player proving what happens when you buy in to what Lampard and his staff are offering, and with Wright out for a few weeks, it’s very welcome.
He jumped for a goal scoring header yesterday in the first half and seemed to close his eyes like a schoolboy
He’s scored quite a few of these glancing headers to be fair.Live I thought he must have been put off by the defenders jump but the more I see it he doesn’t look to meet the with his forehead but rather looks down and lets the ball roll off him. V strange compared to the header he scored
Simms is the only striker thoughAs a minimum we’ve got sakamoto, Rudoni, BTA, Simms, Mason Clark in and around the starting line up (presume wrights not available), most clubs in this league would give their right arm for that. All won’t start. Depending on recovery, wouldn’t be surprised to see Rudoni and BTA start on bench again
As I say I'm glad he scored. If he'd been taken off without he'd have had very little to show for the game.
Simms first goal at the arena since luton ?
Stats prove and back up what we are witnessing with the eye.I am often disappointed by Simms contribution but he looked on it yesterday and up for the challenge. If he can keep this up then he will be difficult to drop.
Yeah i thought that watching Bamford...he looked sharp..decent touches. His lack of pace and fitmess woukd be a major issue.Don't agree with that, thought he'd played well up to then.
Misplaced a couple of balls early in the first half one of which a professional really shouldn't have but other than that thought he was decent.
Just to throw in a talking point, watche'd a bit of the Sheffield Derby, and based on that would Ì have taken Bamford, definitely, (though obviously I don't know what that would have entailed financially etc).
Simms is an absolute handfull when hes on it. And the only one of our 3 strikers who love running in behind.Don't agree with that, thought he'd played well up to then.

Underated the goal..he was switched on and got perfectly between their centre backs.He’s scored quite a few of these glancing headers to be fair.
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?
Wow is that a veiled compliment.He was as good as hes ever been for us at times tonight .. they are doing a good job turning his game around
Simms mins per goal best in the leagueWe could really have 6 players on at least 10 goals this year.
He is, if G dog comes on the forum and compliments him tonight then hes fully turned the corner!Simms mins per goal best in the league
Goal every 85 mins. 5 goals in 5 starts.
And hes had. A big hand in alot of the goals and games this season.
Norwich...Birmingham...Millwall...stoke.
Hes been very good in the few mins hes had. Hes chomping at the bit.
Hardly , thats quite the praise for him and i gave him motmWow is that a veiled compliment.
Where have these performances come from? He was good on Saturday but tonight was one of the most complete no 9 performances you'll see. Won 10 of his 18 aerial duels tonight which is mega. Passing seemed better too - he played a part in setting up his 2nd goal.
On this form it would be hard to drop him for Wright when fit.

His fist pumps to the crowd at the end was cringe comedy at its absolute worst/bestI’ve said it before but he’s the biggest example of a confidence player I can remember. I think he’s also just a massive introvert who’s found himself in a career where he works in front of 30,000 people watching and commenting on him
Even after his worldie he looked a bit like when people are singing happy birthday to you and you don’t know what to do
Why did he do a chicken celebration for a second and then stopHis fist pumps to the crowd at the end was cringe comedy at its absolute worst/best
Who cares, a quiet man, who was superbHis fist pumps to the crowd at the end was cringe comedy at its absolute worst/best
I can imagine him saying in his head “what the fuck are you doing Ellis. This is why we keep our personality in a locked box. Because of shit like this. A chicken?! Really Ellis?”Why did he do a chicken celebration for a second and then stop
