Dread facing any of his teams for this reason

The bastards, keeping the ball, passing to teammates and putting our defence under pressure

Can't believe what I'm watching simms just jogging along wright not doing any city give the ball away too much

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Bidwell and the centre backs are about the only ones who have turned up.

The midfield have been a second behind Southampton the entire time, and the front three haven't been good enough.

Need a much better second half.

Anyone who gives Haji Wright pelters and lets Simms ride free, have a look at yourself.

Can't get near them on ball. Just more skillfully players and a coach that drills passing non stop

That said we limiting their chances and a bit of a threat ourselves.

Perhaps best we can expect when look at quality of their team

 

[ccfc922]

Walkers-Peters with 2 yellow card offences after being rightly booked...

Good one ref

 

[Great_Expectations]

Bednarek (35) really thinks he’s something, I’d be telling Simms to go through him early second half. Make him think a bit more.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Just checked and Bazunu had more touches than every player on our team bar MvE in that half

 

[Saddlebrains]

Haji Wright is becoming a player


Ellis Simms is fucking dog wank

No left foot, no cohesion, no composure, no balance nothing

Id rather have Haji over him any day

Bit of a Meh half. Southampton are a class above, but we've had a couple of good moments on the counter. We're being too sloppy in possession, and a bit too passive off the ball at time. Obviously scared of the Armstrong's and Adams, and Southampton pace on the press.

Bidwell pick of the first half.

Passing nowhere near good enough to play this game. O’Hare, Sheaf, Allen all below where they should be.

Simms is gash. We were warned.

Maybe next season he'll do a Gyokeres, but can't see it atm. Haji the better option, just needs to be able to finish.

 

[Martin180]

Our midfielders need to be braver on the ball , on the odd occasion they’ve taken a touch or taken a player on we’ve moved the ball better

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Against this lot especially you have to be so careful with what possession you do get as if it's given away you probably won't be seeing it again for a few minutes. With that in mind we have been pretty sloppy on the ball but still hanging in there and looking like we can catch them on the break.

I’d have Hadji over both

 

[TomRad85]

Thomas and Kitching colossal. Don't have much to say about anyone else other than I think they've all worked hard. Touch of class from Sakamoto again at the end.

Not sure why the team is being slated on here. Not every game is about attack attack attack. We have defended magnificently so far against a prem relegated team currently in the top 4 and also created a few half chances.

I say well done to the team on a good half. Let's keep it up and nick the winner...

 

[shmmeee]

Positives: Wright putting in a good shift and laying the ball off.

I’d take Simms off for Godden but he’s not going to chase balls over the top is he?

 

[Deleted member 9744]

All this talk of the problem being the CMs. Sheaf lays it on a plate for Simms and he tamely let's the defender take it away from him.

 

[Great_Expectations]

I get the boring stuff as it was a long half, but equally they’re on form, full of confidence and possession based.

We’re holding them out and creating counter offences.

I want to see more, and be more excited, but we’re doing fine. Shackles off a little second half.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Really enjoyed watching the opposition endlessly pass the ball around while we give them as much space as we possibly can. It’s really what you pay the money for. Reckon we probably strung together less than 50 passes in the last 25 minutes of that half.

God, I miss Viktor Gyokeres.

 

[Alkhen]

I'm fine with that display, looking compact and composed at the back. Offering some threat upfront. Some of the link up between Simms and Wright shows they are building a partnership and should have had a pen.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Simms has had a few good touches but the determination is sadly missing.

He is rubbish.

 

[ccfc922]

Sheaf needs to fucking wake up and stop giving the ball away in the middle btw.

 

[procdoc]

I don’t think Simms has been that bad. Wright has been good. Defensively look solid, they were always going to have most of the ball

Looked quality vs Exeter

 

[Calista]

You've got a nerve mate

 

[Grendel]

We are doing ok against a far superior team - weeks ago we’d have been easily beaten

 

[shmmeee]

Also of all the teams not to leave a man up for corners.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Us on the left

Completely agree, G

I don't care if Pep does the same thing, it's wank

 

[jay2015]

Anyone want to buy simms 6 million

He just looks half arsed. Would be interesting to see him in just playing balls into the box for him to score. I don't think he can do much else himself, needs it on a plate.

(Except booting it at the keepers left titty)
