Think man... Maybe it was aimed at the 1%?!
Besides it's definitely more than 1% on here have been laying into him for months. I don't blame him at all. Hope gets a shot as starter now and he kicks on and shuts the negative lot up permanently.

Yeah absolutely agree but we need way more. I’ve said it before but Simms needs a proper run of games, that’s 90 minutes without worrying that Godden is going to come on and do fuck all for the last half hour.
Imagine how demoralising it is for Simms at the moment to be back up to him. But he does needs to offer more. That’ll come with time and confidence.

How to tell people you're having a dry spell, without telling people you're having a dry spell.
Edit: this was directed at you, @hamertime. If you can laugh at yourself, cool. Just wanted to clear that up.
Not the worst performance, Bristol were quite useful at times too. Suffered with the loss of Sheaf for sure. Torp looks like a class act in the making. Still frustrated at times by our two tall strikers and their lack of a physical presence. Plenty of good balls into the box not attacked. Godden offered very little again. Unbeaten record stands thankfully.

Im not sure he can carry what sheaf does yet, in the future 100%. Sheaf is so good now.
Difficult to say, in terms of short intricate passing he’s a bit more like Callum.

Torp is an upgrade on Sheaf

Not at this stage, although he does look promising. As an example, I noticed that he hid a bit when we had throw-ins, whereas Sheaf always shows for the ball and nonchalantly deals with it.
Edit: that's not a criticism, it's only his second game!
Read my other responses to this. Was more aimed at Godden. Simms scored tonight but you must agree we need more from him. Doesn’t help he knows he’s not first choice.
Can’t really say he’s a ‘quality’ target atm can you? Needs to hit the ground running when given a starting opportunity, something he’s not done yet. But as I’ve said, needs more than just a start, needs a proper run of games.

You say he needs a run of game then say you want him out the front 3 next match, how does that add up.
And yeah I genuinely think he is a good target, something none of of our other strikers can offer at all. He was quality in that run against the bigger teams in really tough circumstances. He holds the ball up well and seems to be able to pick out players around him. He should have had an assist last match if Allen hadn't fluffed his lines.

His contribution this season hasn't been good. I'm surprised people are jumping to defend him so quickly in all honesty. Godden (who has admittedly also been really poor for a while) was given a lot more abuse, much of which was personal and even tagged him allegedly. He also has been a great servant to the club with loads of hugely important goals, yet he wasn't defended over his celebrations as much as Simms has been tonight.
As I said, I get that many people have a different take on it and don't feel the same. I just feel that shushing your own fans is a bit distasteful at the best of times and I don't like it. That's just my view.

He's been given shite from his own fans for months, he bites back in a really tame way and the same meatheads calling him useless turn it to pearl clutching fannies.
Pathetic
You said he was a quality target a minute ago now he’s just good? He’s shown flashes but it’s been disappointing overall.
I think Wright deserves a chance up there. Personally think he’d cause defenders more problems. But we would need another winger to accommodate that. Simms has 4 goals this year so although I think he should get a good run of games, I’m not exactly begging for him to get one either.
Don’t forget this is now the third time we’ve said he’ll go on a good run now. He didn’t previously so he really does need to grab it if he gets the chance on Saturday. I’m desperate for him to do well but he’s not filling me with confidence.

As I said, I hold a different opinion to you. I also think this is a bit misdirected in all honesty.
He started the next four games after QPR. He wasn’t dropped. Come on ffs.

We need a plan b if Simms and Godden continue as they are and I think moving Wright there is an option if we get another winger in. After all, he was bought in as a striker. Didn’t work at the start of the season but think of all the chances he had, reckon with the confidence he’s got now he’d start putting more away.
Simms will have another shot at it after tonight but if we want to get where we want to get to, he has to do more simple as. There’s a player in there and I feel for him because I think we’ve wasted too much playing time on Godden this year rather than developing Simms.

Yeah but he also occasionally makes a hash of things with poor control, and for some people on here that's all they see.

Just got home. Pretty average all round really. We couldn't seem to get going and Brizzle didn't create a lot other than a few gifts we gave them. Both teams cancelled each other out. Crowd was pretty subdued as well.
Torp seems like a different kind of player to Sheaf, more attack-minded and looks like he wants to carry the ball forward. Seems to me like the intention is to play him alongside Sheaf as an upgrade on Eccles, think it’ll work nicely.
Weird night. It was like everyone was suffering from fatigue - players, crowd, etc - not even physical, more just like a break was needed. Hopefully we get over it before Saturday.
Clearly got away with one anyway, and we have kept the unbeaten run intact.
Lati replacing Sheaf wasn't the answer, clearly wanted to play in defence as part of a back 3. Surely that's what Allen and Kelly are in the squad for, if Torp's not ready.
Torp looked full of potential.
We looked much more dangerous with Simms, who simply gave the Bristol defence something to think about.
Wright needs minutes in his legs to get back up to speed, next Tuesday could help.
