You said Kane was superb and the £10 million rated Dabo should play at left back to accommodate him.
I'm of the same thinking as Robins. Ask Robins.
I think he's been dealt a bad hand as Robins been molly cuddling that cry baby Godden.
You're not answering the question. I won't repeat your language about Wright who Robins clearly rates. So what are Simms' strengths?I'm of the same thinking as Robins. Ask Robins.

He scored one goal in the Premier League.
I must admit I was originally comforted in thinking he was a goalscorer, who was just going through a lean patch here, as I couldn’t really see much else to him. Then someone on here said he has never been a goalscorer as such. I looked into this and it seems right. His only 'purple patch was 7 in 17 at Sunderland. Thst in itself was exactly prolific especially bearing in mind he had Diallo in that team.
He's the closest thing we got as a target man. Leeds away was a great unselfish performance.You're not answering the question. I won't repeat your language about Wright who Robins clearly rates. So what are Simms' strengths?
Actually agreed with Brummie Nick on the phone in last night after the game...
Simms is still young but needs a lot more consistent game time. He'll have a good game and then get about 10-15 minutes in the next couple which I imagine might be to give Godden some gametime if he's been at Mark Robins door asking to play more.
Agree we could do with another option up front though, Haji Wright is a lot more suited to that wide role than in the centre
8 in 21 in League 1? 5 in 17 in Scotland? Hardly outstanding for a player who adds little else.8 in 21 at Blackpool (1 in 2.6 goals per game) and 5 in 17 at Hearts (1 in 3.4) suggests otherwise.
We’re the outlier.
Jeez ffs get off his back8 in 21 in League 1? 5 in 17 in Scotland? Hardly outstanding for a player who adds little else.
When he was 19/20? It’s respectable for sure.8 in 21 in League 1? 5 in 17 in Scotland? Hardly outstanding for a player who adds little else.
I see the dig at Wright there. Still don't like him eh?He's the closest thing we got as a target man. Leeds away was a great unselfish performance.
Earlier on in season he was made a scapegoat for misfiring Haji Wright which took about 2 months to find he's best operating on LHS.
Yesterday he could have and should have scored 2 and had 2 assists and a possible penalty (seen them given). So all in all he's there or there abouts clearly lacking confidence.
I feel he's operating in 2nd or 3rd gear lacking that confidence. Thinking optimistically at his age 22/23 if he gets his act together he will be frightening prospect.
Really rich coming from you and your disgusting comments about Wright.Jeez ffs get off his back
I didn’t need to imagine the love child of Daniel Farke and Stuart LinnellDo people really think Robins picks Godden so Godden doesn’t whine?

Agreed and this is why we need reinforcements up front in this window if we are serious about the play offs.Was a massive fan of his signing in the summer and seemed to have a very strong pre-season. Since the season began, though, it’s clear he lacks the aggression to be a proper goal scoring target man. That’s just a mentality thing which can be solved. Of more concern is the lack of understanding in terms of movement. He’s received the ball in the channel numerous times and not got across his man. He makes far too many wrong decisions. I hope this can be coached out of him but I’m losing faith slowly.
Godden, however, is getting on my tits. Constantly flapping his arms around when things aren’t going his way. Clearly had a whinge about game time. Performances far from backing that up. He’s never been the quickest but what pace he did have has deserted him.
He's certainly trying to keep him on side, as evidenced by Godden inexplicably jumping up the captaincy order this season and being given the arm band on occasions this season.Do people really think Robins picks Godden so Godden doesn’t whine?

Pretty sure Godden was 3rd choice last season after Kelly and McFadz?He's certainly trying to keep him on side, as evidenced by Godden inexplicably jumping up the captaincy order this season and being given the arm band on occasions this season.
Yes , yes they do ..which in itself shows the mental capacity of supportersDo people really think Robins picks Godden so Godden doesn’t whine?

He has started 17 matches including seven on the trot starting with the QPR game. He has played in all 31, the only player in the squad who has.Right, he hasn’t been good enough, we can all agree on that. Goals record speaks for itself.
But, hasn’t had a consistent run of games. Yesterday was his only his fifth 90 for us. At times it’s demoralising watching Godden up front so I can only imagine what it’s like for Simms watching him from the bench.
I am very surprised he didn’t kick on after QPR but let’s get behind him. He’s clearly got physical attributes that would make him a good striker at this level and luckily for him, we’ve got coaching staff that have proven they can make players better, a lot better.
I'm pretty sure Allen was ahead of him last season.Pretty sure Godden was 3rd choice last season after Kelly and McFadz?
Where thefuck have you been?Yes , yes they do ..which in itself shows the mental capacity of supporters
Loads worse in regards to godden , it appears our manager has no clue in this regard and plays him because he's scared of himWhere thefuck have you been?
Is it me, or has it got worse? Either Nick went troll recruiting, or our fans have become exponentially worrisome.
Said this at the match last night, Simms doesn't seem to know how to protect the ball, Wright is similar in some respects, they don't get their body between the defender and the ball to force the foul or get away. Simms isn't too bad with his back to goal. You can see Robins is trying to coach it into him but it'll take time, especially where it isn't instinctive.Was a massive fan of his signing in the summer and seemed to have a very strong pre-season.

No, he's good on the left because it suits his attributes. By trying to solve one problem it just creates another imo.Wright has been good out on the left, I just wonder if he’s worth another go in the middle now he has the confidence. Give Godden and Simms the rocket they need.
Would need to sign another winger though.
Do we really think at this point Wright has ‘been a major success’??Why are you lumping Wright in there? He's been a major success. He's scored goals and created and been one of our best players. He's adapted to an unfamiliar position and followed the managers' instructions.
Last thing we need is to decimate Wrights confidence too. He's a cracking player on the left so that's where he stays.No, he's good on the left because it suits his attributes. By trying to solve one problem it just creates another imo.
