He has had lots of runs of games in the centre, including a run of seven, and has played in every match, the vast majority of the time in the centre. He needs time to develop away from the first team in my view, as we did with Gyokeres. Constantly playing him is not helping in my view, which is why we need another striker or to move Wright into the centre.
The thing is what players can do in training and what they do in game time is often two different things.
I used to watch Callum O'Hare shooting in the kick in before games and he really was a consistent sweet finisher. Before coming back from injury he couldn't hit a barn door in a match.
Like I said earlier, I think Simms needs a run of games in the centre of the three. We just need to back him like we did Gyokerese - who didn't get going until his second season.
The issue is that playing under 23 football will do nothing for his confidence and feeling valued by Robins and frankly the standard is poor.He has had lots of runs of games in the centre, including a run of seven, and has played in every match, the vast majority of the time in the centre.

Think it will be tricky, but Saka and O'Hare back in, a raucous Singers Corner and I think we'll be fine. Having seen Torp taking corners, I think we might score a few more from set pieces when/if he breaks through as a regular.
I am not saying bin him off. I am saying take the pressure off him for now for his sake and the team.That's a reasonable observation. To be honest I am happy to trust the judgement of the people who work with him day in day out. What is clear he does have something to offer, but yes we need to improve him. But I think it is too early to bin him off as not good enough.

Cos he keeps getting taken out of the team , doesn't get a run of games he needsWhy does he look useless elsewhere then?
He’s already signed for themAli Al-Hamadi has just apparently signed for Ipswich

Would be a good signing.Al-Hamadi from Wimbledon on Ipswich radar....
I’ve head Ipswich are interestedWould be a good signing.
Femi Azeez would be the Reading player I'd like to see us signHarvey Knibbs from Reading supposedly has Championship interest.
12 goals and 5 assists this season so far, can play on either wing or through the middle, and mates with Cal from their days at Villa. Wouldn't be against it
I’ve head Ipswich are interested
This is a wind up isn’t itITFC only just made contact.
Might be a worth a punt when his contract expires in the summer.This is a wind up isn’t ithe signed yesterday for £1m plus add ons and will wear the no.16 shirt. Ipswich Town FC News | Ipswich Star
Goodness me….
This is a wind up isn’t it
Still fairly young, probably not hit his "ceiling" yet, plays as a winger or a 10 and wouldn't be a big money risk. Makes sense. Reading having a yard sale so will probably sell for peanuts..Harvey Knibbs from Reading supposedly has Championship interest.

How much time did we give Gyokeres? He was pretty underwhelming during his loan wasn't he?
In fact he was similar to Simms in a few ways. Cumbersome with the ball, first touch erratic and not as strong on the ball as you'd expect for his size. And goal returns was something like 3 in 30. Sound familiar?
Signed for them yesterday.Ali Al-Hamadi has just apparently signed for Ipswich
Bugger - can confirm as I live here that Ipswich are signing him. How very dare theyA few on here have been saying we need a striker in this window alongside a winger
For me i think we should take a look at Ali Al Hamadi from Wimbledon. Looks a talent but heard Ipswich are interested
