Proving himself to who?Do we really think at this point Wright has ‘been a major success’??
He had a poor start, has recently shown promise before injury and has integrated with the squad well but he certainly has some way to go before proving himself never mind ‘a major success’ label.
I think he's been excellent. Nowhere near as poor at the start as some people said. Has scored at a good rate, assisted a lot too and played a couple of roles effectively. Not sure what more you can expect.Do we really think at this point Wright has ‘been a major success’??

If you think he’s been an excellent major success we’ll just leave it there.I think he's been excellent. Nowhere near as poor at the start as some people said. Has scored at a good rate, assisted a lot too and played a couple of roles effectively. Not sure what more you can expect.
For team that’s made so many bad signings, we seem to be doing alright!If you think he’s been an excellent major success we’ll just leave it there.
Just madness
From the headline it seems he does Victor Torp impressions. Can't imagine they are very convincing.
Based on his previous record and the two minutes I saw him play for Everton I thought we’d signed a goal scorer. He isn’t that. But I do think he occupies defenders and holds it up ok. It can’t be purely down to the quality of those around him that our full strength side scores from different positions.
Dreadful first touch aside, he’s a good foil for Tats, Wright and COH (for now). If neither are going to score I’d much rather Simms up front instead of Godden on current form. And I don’t want to see them as a two again.
I see him as a more mobile and technically superior Clive Platt. Flabbergasted he ever managed something close to 1 in 2.5/3 games before though.
Slightly concerned how quiet/submissive he is on the pitch. When Godden is lambasting him (happens regularly when Matty doesn’t get his own way) he just seems to take it and keep his head down. Also never looks pissed with himself when he’s missed a chance or made an error. Could just be his style but it doesn’t scream 100% commitment and I fancy he’s got another gear or two.
I think this season is a bit of a write off regarding Sims. Because we are moving in the right direction the majority of fans have/will accept this.
Next season though he has to hit the ground running during the first 10 or so games as then the crowd/fans will have every right to voice their concern.
Simms looks cumbersome which does not help people's view of him. Needs to use his size better and bully centre backs. Didn't look great against Wednesday away but won the ball on the press where Godden should have scored. Stone wall penalty when he was barged in the back. Think he set up Allen in the last minute who should have scored. Those chances turn into goals then the opinion of him would have been different. Needs to get his left foot working better and he would have scored from his big chance.
I still believe in Father Christmas.I still believe in Ellis.

I’m not saying Simms won’t improve he might but at the moment he’s not delivering what he was bought for….goals.
Well if he ‘proves himself’ to the manager he might end up starting rather than being on the bench.Proving himself to who?

He’s our top goal scorer and assister in the league…Well if he ‘proves himself’ to the manager he might end up starting rather than being on the bench.
How many assists has Simms made this season? The stats sites seem to say 1 in the Championship and 1 in the FA cup….Whilst he hasn't scored as many as hoped, he has provided some great assists. Like a Robert Rosario to those who remember him
Simms need to start in a run of of games now......hes clearly had a stop-start season so far, but hes improving & getting more involved.
From the Swansea game just after Xmas, hes scored 3 + 1 assist, despite only getting a handful of minutes in several of those games.
Just checked. Hes only played 315 mins in those 7 games, so clearly getting a better return now and will only improve with more game time & confidence.
I still reckon, with game time, he'll score more than Wright this season.
I believe in Ellis.
This is what I’ve been telling people who say “he’s had 30 games”; that includes all the <10 minute cameos. The lad just turned 23, new club, new environment, pressure from the decently sized transfer fee etc,.Simms need to start in a run of of games now......hes clearly had a stop-start season so far, but hes improving & getting more involved.

Does the shot that hit the bar vs Someone that Ayari scored and new nothing about count as an assist?... I doubt it.How many assists has Simms made this season? The stats sites seem to say 1 in the Championship and 1 in the FA cup….
