Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms (21 Viewers)

[Deleted member 9744]

Well you'd hope so we did have 20 shots

Overall though I thought we only really saw what he's about in that 15 /20 minutes before being subbed

I agree. It looked a difficult debut and his confidence seemed to be going. That snatched shot at the start of the second half was a sign of that. But ironically he was starting to look good in the period before he was taken off.

I do hope the idiot element in our support don't start to get on his back as he's not Gyokeres. Confidence plays such an important role in strikers' performance.

Simms should play against Wimbledon to give him a chance to get a goal and build his confidence. We should also play him and Wright to see how the combination works and give Wright some match fitness.

We should play our strongest team full stop.

Is he actually getting pelters from people on social media? Thank God I’m not on Twitter if so.

Absolutely no way he should be written off. He didn’t have the best overall game today, but he showed clear glimpses of what he’ll offer.

Him and Wright will be a handful for defences this year, if you think otherwise you’re probably one of those who thought Sheaf was rubbish too.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Thought he struggled today especially first touch which brought the defenders closer to him every time. I'm sure he will be disappointed too. The shot that nearly hit the corner flag wasn't ideal but they happen. Hopefully he will use it to push on next game.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I think Simms be be ok unfortunately I can’t say the same for Godden

 

[rexo87]

Reckon he will be a better player when we have more possession and he can stay within the width of the goalposts. He had to try and do the old Vik role at times today when we cleared the ball.

Some people were complaining about him at the Shrewsbury game ffs...

I just knew he'd be called lazy or slow as he'll be being compared to someone like Gyokeres, when they appear to be two different types of strikers

Hopefully Wright will take some of that off him in terms of Gyokeres expectations.

 

[Rugby Sky Blue]

Not actually that convinced by Ellis Simms.

 

[AOM]

Yep, from his highlights, Wright looks a lot more of a Gyokeres type player. Hopefully they'll compliment each other

Good for you, most people will give him a bit of a chance first,

 

[procdoc]

Not saying this off the back off one game, watched him plenty of times at Hearts and didn't think too much of him to be honest.

Nice to see our fans giving players a fair chance

To be fair I am not saying this off the back off one game. I watched Simms plenty of times at Hearts and didn't think too much of him to be honest. I thought when we signed him that it is quite an expensive punt, I'm happy if he proves me wrong though.

 

[Gint11]

Simms will be fine. He played fairly well today. Good movement, involved, good hold up play at times. Snatched at his shot whilst being too far out but he’ll learn. Probably trying too hard.

Once he bags a couple of league foil as, he’ll be fine.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Let's be honest and not deluded, he looks fucking useless.

Gyokores was useless when he first joined the club.

He scored 7 in 15 starts at Hearts

As a fellow watcher of Scottish Football, I thought he looked really good for hearts.

 

[David O'Day]

Yeah, he was really good for Hearts

 

[Rugby Sky Blue]

7 goals in 21 games in a significantly weaker league. Not bad but not sure justifies his price tag.

Let's hang on to that in hope then!!!!!!........ All i see is a donkey, perhaps improving to a lame horse.

 

[Grendel]

Then he scored 7 in 15 for Sunderland in this league!

I watched him, you are talking whiff now.

He’s scored at a good rate at every level he’s played at. Hearts at 301 mpg is his worst and is still pretty good.

Vik was a donkey even towards the end but used it to his power. Gangly and unpredictable.

He seriously improved his touch and, with belief, released he could outstrength anyone. Simms will realise that too.

 

[Greggs]

He's fucking garbage, anyone who disagrees is definitely one of those who wears a football shirt as part of their normal day to day life.

Scottish league is a great barometer to be fair.

 

[Nuskyblue]

Too slow ..simms and palmer poor ..thought they had moore time than they had ..it was a slow game ..until lesta turned up the gas after vardy went off

Palmer was fine, Hamer tho, I'd wank him of day after day after day to stay. That pass for Godden

 

[shmmeee]

Scottish league is a great barometer to be fair.

Not as great as this actual division where it’s a goal every 172 mins.

6 foot 3 but would get beaten up by Jamie Allen, there's a lot of work to be done. Then there's passing and shooting to sort out. He seems a bargain.......

 

[Nuskyblue]

He was awful against Exeter and the first half today. Bar the glaring chance at the start of the second half, his second half performance was much better. Let’s hope he’s just taking a while to get going

Gotta play to his strengths, he isn't Gyok. I think the team need to adapt. That said Wright looked like he could fill that big Swedish hole (pun intended).

 

[Greggs]

or 10 goals in 3 games against part timers. You lot and your averages. Nerd

It’s why I thought Vik would come good, and it’s why I think Simms will. Well see at the end of the year.

Did you see his perfect lobbed pass to Godden?

 

[David O'Day]

Lads, once again - It's greggs

that was a shot
