You’ve convinced me. Yates it is.Simms is a unit that can score, hold the ball up and take defenders away like Vik
Yates the opposite, small, fast, can play off the shoulder
Having them 2 up front being fed by Ohare or Palmer would be a delight
Yeah Cus I mentioned him in the other thread that’s why it’s cropped up NostradamusMiles Leaburn a name that’s just cropped up but he’s only 19 so would be one with the future in mind, you need them too, but at 6ft 5in. and built accordingly perhaps worth a punt as a fourth striker, of the names linked Jerry Yates appeals to me the most but will cost a fee.
I agree replacing Vik is a big ask, we may have to tweek our game a bit probably depending who else we get.In Robins I trust….but this guy Simms has a lot to live up to. Not sure what he’s used to but playing for Coventry in our usual set up he is going to have to work his arse off and be ultra fit like Vik.
It would never be as bad as a Bellamy Keane scenarioI agree replacing Vik is a big ask, we may have to tweek our game a bit probably depending who else we get.
I think we are going to have to switch it up and bring creative players back in. Probably play Hamer further up the pitch until COH is back/Palmer is fit. If Simms can get in the right gaps Hamer will find him!I was having a quick look at what Simms stats look like compared to Gyokeres, in the Championship last season. By the looks of it Simms is your more traditional forward, playing through the middle, whilst we know Gyokeres liked to drift out wide left. I guess different styles overall.
Here we have Gyokeres's numbers:
View attachment 30484
Goal every 191 minutes (3 penalties).
Assist every 402 minutes.
Here we have Simms numbers:
View attachment 30485
Goal every 162 minutes.
Assist every 566 minutes.
Gyokeres took 2.9 shots per game.
Simms took 1.9 shots per game.
Simms had a slightly higher accuracy rate at 4 shots per goal scored, whilst Gyokeres was at 4.38.
Simms was much less involved in the actual creation of goals, with 0.9 key passes per game, and 0.4 dribbles. Gyokeres had 1.9 and 2.1. It was mostly down to Gyokeres and Hamer to create chances last season, especially whilst O'hare was out, whilst Simms had others around him to create chances.
Coventry had 21.78 shot creating actions per game last season, whilst Sunderland had 21.65. Very similar number of chances created per team, but a lot of those will have come from Gyokeres for Coventry.
Obviously much more difficult to maintain a high level of performance across a 46 match season. I think Simms will struggle if expected to slot into the Gyokeres role. Coventry are going to have to find someone in the 10 role to create chances along with Hamer, whether that's Palmer or someone else. I think at Sunderland Simms would have been a 15+ goal forward for the season, and his value would now be at least double.
Think Simms plays better as a 2I think we are going to have to switch it up and bring creative players back in. Probably play Hamer further up the pitch until COH is back/Palmer is fit. If Simms can get in the right gaps Hamer will find him!
Just been visiting the Scumberland forum , a few weeks back they thought Simms was the best thing since sliced bread and wanted him to sign . Now he’s a lazy shit and not worth the money . I love their forum , thick Geordie wannabesChampionship fans getting a little ruffled by us signing Simms.
‘he’s an ok player at this level but never worth £8m’

Odds onHonestly think 4/5 of those things will happen next week/today.
As for your other prediction/dream/hope re Michelle Keegan, I’m not so sure!

As a defender?Think Simms plays better as a 2
As a defender?assume you mean with 2 up top?
Sorry, I meant a 4 @stgeorge1966As a defender?assume you mean with 2 up top?
Whittaker up front with him would be dreamyAs a defender?assume you mean with 2 up top?

To be honest the expectation is warranted some what being our most expensive signing everWe can't replace vik and what he brought to the team. I'm worried fans will expect it from simms and get onto him early doors
I dont see the fuss about Whittaler. Stats arent great for a striker, is he a 10? If so makes sense
But i really want Yates now, him and Simms compliment each other perfectly
and at least one of those should have been a passGyokeres took 2.9 shots per game.
Simms took 1.9 shots per game.
Whittaker can play 10 and centre forward which is why I’d like himAgree with both comments

Leaburn and Simms are too similar. Would rather someone like Yates who has more pace and never stops running.Miles Leaburn a name that’s just cropped up but he’s only 19 so would be one with the future in mind, you need them too, but at 6ft 5in. and built accordingly perhaps worth a punt as a fourth striker, of the names linked Jerry Yates appeals to me the most but will cost a fee.
That’s class!! Just needs a couple of extra lines and it’s good to go. Says the bloke in block 1 who hasn’t started a song since 1991
