Yes Dasilva has been caught one or two times but I feel he has shown great composure on the ball and will only get better as this game and the season goes on. I like him.

Did you hear Robins interview at the start? We want to build a team around Gus.

Lol he really looked not very convinced when he said it

 

[croatskyblue]

Nothing to do with Gyokeres at all, no idea why you'd mention him.

If you took your sky blue tinted glasses off you'd have to admit he's been poor.

Bit early to judge him as garbage, you think?

 

[TomRad85]

No ones writing anyone off, seriously wtaf are you talking about.

You do realise you are allowed to say someone has had a poor half ffs

"Simms looks fucking shit. The touch of a blind donkey" I believe were your words.

Yes, he’s trying hard to show the love I guess.

Thomas is much better on the ball than McNally was, couple of nice little runs.

I've watched him closely, and he's had a very poor half.

He hasn't had a great first 45 mins, but also, I'm fairly realistic about what to expect all things considered.

 

[RegTheDonk]

Dasilva sleeping for the guy to turn up so free

If he can get forward and put in some quality that's fine but presently bit worried about playing him over Bidwell.

Palmer looking good and echo the views re. Thomas looks quality ATM.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Not sure Leicester look as great as people would have them down as. If we can make it click a bit more then we have a decent chance to win this game.

As I said earlier, a few players look a bit off it, but that's completely normal. We also have a strong bench so it would be nice to see some of those players at some point in the second half.

Not a disgraceful 45 minutes by any means.

 

[Jamesimus]

Thought DaSilva had a pretty decent half too. Good passer of the ball.

 

[Garlana86]

I know it's a

Bobby Thomas has been class.
Simms…is not Gyokeres.

Text this to my mate, we're basically trying to do what we did Vs Middlesbrough but Simms isn't the same player.

 

[David O'Day]

I'll take that, be happy with this after 90 as well.

On the evidence of that half, you couldn't argue with that.

Needs to get his first touch back, consistently putting himself on the back foot. Should come with time!

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Both new centre backs look good. Eccles and DaSilva playing well too and I think Godden has been fine. Hamer doesn't look fully fit to me.

 

[David O'Day]

Thomas is much better on the ball than McNally was, couple of nice little runs.

But he can't be good as he's not been at this level before?

 

[Sky Blue Dal]

Bobby Thomas looks like a gem so far. Love it.
I have this horrible feeling we may have purchased a lemon from Everton. Just hope he start performing like he did for Sunderland.

 

[Fysnkysc]

I'd like to add another positive, Thomas has been solid. Really looks handy.

Excellent the other guy aswell looks decent

 

[glamour76]

Yeah, I think Simms has been poor, but running in behind is not his game. He scores goals & he needs service. He's not going to make his own goals like Vik did. I'd bring bidwell on for da Silva.

Looks a big upgrade to me.

 

[fatso]

He's got to control and pass the ball better than that though.

Hopefully it's just a bit of rust and a little lack of confidence. We need him to be a key player.

Why would you say that about a new player after 45 mins? A touch harsh on reflection?

Agreed, apart their chance where he should have done better he’s looked pretty solid

Possibly, he has another half to impress.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Referee’s been wank as well

 

[Bennettbarnet]

Our collective xG is 0.13 and we’ve got one cross into the box all half. If we’re going to criticise Simms let’s at least recognise that he hasn’t been provided with anything constituting an actual goal scoring opportunity. If you think he’s going to beat 3 defenders and lash it in from 25 yard you’re going to have a hard time watching him all season.

xG is calculated on shots. What about the shot that Simms should have been taken but didn't?

Oh Simms!!!!!!!

It's been 45 minutes against the favourites for promotion, away from home.

I think that's enough time to make a judgement

Fuck sake Simms

 

[The Nomad]

Beginning to wonder if Simms is actually a footballer.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Think it's clear we need someone happy to run with the ball at feet in the final third. Like Leicester have in Mavididi and McAteer. Both of them look dangerous every time they get it, we need someone like that who can take a man on to create a chance for Simms.

 

[Nick]

Why didn't he take a touch and score?

 

[CCFCSteve]

Ambitious from simms. Just think it’s been a nervy debut. 22 year old lad, big fee. Think he’ll come good
