If Simms had been on loan with us last season and had then moved to Sunderland this summer and was looking for a goal we would be scared it will be against us next week let’s hope.
You mean luckily we have Wright who is twice as good so he might be about to carry Simms.

There's nothing woke about giving him more than three matches before saying he looks garbage.

How many games exactly should we give him before we are allowed (in your opinion) to state the f#@king obvious then?

Id hope so he cost twice as much as is three years older.

Cast your mind back to when Vik came in on loan. I wasn't alone in wondering what Robins saw in him, and we all know how that ended. If you want to open your mouth and let your belly rumble, fill your boots. How about we revisit this at the end of the season?

Oh I have a feeling we won't have to wait that long.

Obviously not a Coventry fan if you write off a 22 yr old after 3 matches.
I actually thought he had a good game against Leicester, good movement, hold up and played some excellent balls through to Godden.
Problem is simple people don't see that stuff

Fucking ridiculous for anyone to write this lad off. Give him time. We will reap the benefits.
Five paragraphs slating the guy based off one passage of play, but you’ll wait a few weeks before you become overly critical

I hope your right, and I'd be delighted to be proven wrong. But I've seen absolutely nothing from him in his first 2 and a bit appearances to suggest he's going to be a success here, now I'm well aware that's very little time to judge a player on, but I saw more from Gyokeres and Waghorn and even Walker in their first 2 games than I've seen from Simms. Something is definitely wrong with the guy, and it isn't a lack of fitness or taking time to gel, as that wouldn't explain the lack of quality he's showing. I hope another weeks training will help him to get upto speed, I'm not writing him off, but he's got a lot of improving to do as it appears he's already become third choice striker after just 2 weeks.
Next up is Sunderland, and I hope that will give him the motivation to show us what he's about.

Three games in a new team, with many new players around them, is nowhere even approaching a fraction of how long we should give a player.
Obviously you can't put an exact figure on it, but if people started criticising him after say 10 games, that would have a lot more logic to it

Yes the extent of the scouting was to watch one goal and decide he was worth paying £4m for
Come on man

good to see you’re going to wait before being overly critical, as opposed to the balanced & well thought through opinions such as “shite”, “nonchalant” and “piss poor”
you’ve already written the guy off, pathetic

Considering he’s just spent 6 months in a terrible Everton side feeding off scraps he isn’t going to be in red hot form straight away.

Sunderland fans said it took him a while to get his feet last season for them as well.
MR plays an unusual scheme here and it will take players time to get used to their responsibilities. And when you're low on confidence as Simms looks, playing sporadically isn't giving him time to gel, get more confident nor get used to the tactics. And don't say the training ground is where they do all that. Playing on a training ground is not as intense as playing in a full match. Even our US international who has previously played in 5 different countries and played for his country in a World Cup is struggling to get into the swing. Where are the threads deriding his performances ?
This guy, like every one of our new recruits needs more than 3 games to get up to speed in our system. Preseason was shortened this year, a fair few of the new ones came in later. And now, most are only getting partial appearances due to sharing out their game time with the other new recruits.
Give them time before you start nailing them all to the cross. And by time, I would say 6-10 games. Will it affect our season ? Took us 7 games to win a game last season and we were bottom of the league for the first 10 games. So no, it won't affect our season, it may just make it better.

He reminds me a bit of vik when he first arrived if I'm honest .. it was only when Robins took him out the side then re introduced vik towards the end of the season that he looked remotely anything worth a footballer ..he will need time I think .
I hope , I think ... same thing

Maybe feels under more pressure in league games than friendlies, in the league games so far he's either snatched at half chances or has taken too long on the clear cut ones. Strikes me as someone who'll need an arm round the shoulder more than the kick up the arse Robins is more accustomed to.
