Start him in front of Hadji Wright on Friday night in my opinion
Wright was like a Prima Dona today
Greedy and wasteful

Said it on another thread but I'm not sure you get that from the start with BTA.
He was outstanding when he came on though.
Simms never really did anything with those balls down the channels, BTA nearly scored frim one and set up the 2nd from one

In place of Simms maybe. But not out in the left. No chance.

Simms will eventually have a decent game and hopefully its in the playoffs .. so best as a sub for now and come on against tired legs

It suited Asante perfectly but agree that the circumstances are different from the start.

Having said that, he showed a better touch, better link up, better aggression, better pace so I do wonder what he'd be like from the start

Unfortunately for BTA never a starter and a great player to come off the bench tho.

We have two great players in Hadji and Simms who will be crucial in our play off run.

Their huge presence alone enough to put the shitter up the oppo-you could argue that because of the battering that Wright/ Simms give the defenders-it opens the door for BTA to come on late and terrorise with his pace and directness.

Thought he showed similar qualities last week v Luton when he came on.
Don't think Lampard will deviate from that starting line up though unless forced to.

No, for calling him Hadji alone.

Perfect game plan imo, Simms for an hour, BTA to buzz around for last 30. I'd do the same again Friday.

BTA would have got nothing against Boro over the first hour.

Have to say I was pissed off with a few players that wanted to be heros instead of making the right pass today until BTA popped up of course.

Doesn’t do it enough but when he’s on it he’s night and day a better (although different) player than Simms.

That 25 yarder that almost went bottom corner was just a tad less forceful than when Simms brings it under control.

Keep it the same Asante only looked good because Mboro were pushing for a goal,and there was plenty of room behind, as bad as simms was he kept their back 4 busy Have to take any sort of lead to Sunderland. Look on their forum, nervous is not the word, cant remember a play off where the team in 4th didn’t fancy getting past the team in 5th

You aren’t wrong Tbf. But we spent a decent whack on Mr Keep Them Busy.

Every player is playing his part, simms against his old club, might be the motivation he needs.

I’d go with BTA through the middle.,Has more basic skills and is far more likely to make everyone else in the team believe.

I think BTA is a fantastic squad player, his work rate make him a great option from the bench. Good honest pro

Yeah been decent on and off for a while.
May I refer you to this to save us both an evening of internet.

On record for not rating Saka. But he’s been a machine last few games. When there’s no real defence needed from him and he can do what he does, not many better in this league.

Asanate was brilliant when he came on today, strong case for him to start ahead of Simms next match

You’re spot on - never get that over 90. Him producing that 30min cameo is key now - key role for us. Outstanding impact.

So refreshing to see him just go for goal as his first instinct
