Very rarely see simms shoot cleanly from a dead ball situation, so why give him the penalty? Stuff like this is gonna cost us, FL needs to sort it out asap.

Hell of a thing to throw wright into this

It's a big call when we look ropey in midfield and down the left

 

[duffer]

Simms has got some useful attributes, but a reliable first touch and cleanly striking a dead ball are not amongst them. Never looked confident. Terrible pen.

Thank fuck for Sakamoto.

We'll win this if we keep going after them. If we start pissing around playing aimless possession football again, there's every chance we'll do something stupid...

Why’s Clive saying “Harji”?

You know what Clive’s like, probably saw someone eating an onion bhaji right before he said it.

 

[AOM]

This game

 

[Nick]

Eccles ffs

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Look all Simms hit the target the goalie gambled and saved - he did ok

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Please sub Eccles off now!!!

 

[covcity4life]

Please get Allen on for eccles

 

[jto123]

Still way too open!

 

[Nick]

I'd be tempted for Allen. Least he's generally tidy on the ball and will press

 

[robbiekeane]

fucking hell eccles. not very smart sometimes

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Eccles bad decision making

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Eccles is a liability out there - he’s gonna cost us another soon

 

[Paul Anthony]

Eccles is just getting annoying today.

 

[shmmeee]

Eccles again. Really hope Torp or Rudoni is back next game.

 

[TomRad85]

Eccles loves setting up counters. Doing my head in.

 

[Chris1987]

Another Eccles error.

 

[Tommo1993]

7th to 5th like a fiddlers elbow

 

[procdoc]

Get Allen on for Eccles

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Allen on please

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Get Allen on for Eccles

…or Paterson

 

[Nick]

Down our left again

 

[Sick Boy]

I’d be very surprised if Eccles is here next season.

 

[Nick]

…or Paterson

After his last game I'm not sure I want him on in a game like this

 

[Evo1883]

Down our left again

All game

 

[StrettoBoy]

We our really shaky down their right/our left.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

We are being carved open on the left side way too often.

 

[skybluecam]

Look all Simms hit the target the goalie gambled and saved - he did ok

It was a crap penalty. No power, didn’t find the corner, no disguise on it.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

7th to 5th like a fiddlers elbow

My first girlfriend at 17 played the fiddle it was brilliant

 

[Evo1883]

I’d be very surprised if Eccles is here next season.

In fairness today , frank has sold him a bit down the river playing him as the more advanced midfielder and hes clearly not comfortable

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

After his last game I'm not sure I want him on in a game like this

yeah fair point, can’t be worse than Eccles though, surely?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Someone needs to get over and support Bidwell, he's all over the place and needs it.

 

[Nick]

Wright can't do some of the stuff Simms does with his back to goal.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

It was a crap penalty. No power, didn’t find the corner, no disguise on it.
