Will try and wait to go doolally over Sakamoto until he’s playing against Championship opposition.

Although it was only a friendly against low level opposition ,both Simms goals were both excellent finishes. The first showed a great desire to stretch and get a strike away, and the 2nd an instant control , before burying the ball in the back of the net.
Whilst Gyokeres was undoubtedly a great player for us, to me he was a scorer of great goals, more than a great goal scorer. Lots of his goals were highlight reel goals, and individual efforts ,brilliant to watch, but not so many 'bread and butter goals.
I remain hopeful that Simms maybe able to both match and maybe surpass Gyokeres goal tally. Still very early days but to me Simms looks a more natural goalscorer than Gyokeres.

Apart from the middle 2 blocks the other 6 blocks were completely empty.

Obviously as I was sat near the half way line I couldn’t see but seeing a video later you are right.

incredible the journey we’ve been on under Robins. 6 years ago we were losing to Forest Green and now we routinely smash them in a friendly like they’re nothing.

Onwards and upwards.

Agree regarding Simms looking a more natural finisher. But Vik had a knack of turning a game with a moment of magic, lots of his goals he made himself, long dribbling runs seemed to be his trademark. I think Simms can be a massive success but we'll have to change the way we play.

to be fair he looked class in the first preseason games. He'll come good I'm convinced. Just over thinking things I reckon

And again!

He was outside the Arena ( having been kicked out) as we were going in. Stewards quiet, Craig Danny loud ... and being egged on by passers by!!
