Completely agree. He’s still learning where he should be running and where Godden is going as well.
Wright is the same, but his pace is masking it - which Simms doesn’t have.
He'll be fine. He's just learning how we play.

I don’t think Simms has raw pace but once he gets going he covers the groundCompletely agree. He’s still learning where he should be running and where Godden is going as well.

I literally said in my post I'm not writing him off
Do you want me to draw you a picture or are you just unable to read?
Why do you assume I was talking about you?! No need to be so rude
I don't mind a bit of constructive criticism, although it is still very soon to judge him. Was more aimed at the twitter types saying he is shit already. Bizarre take.Sorry babes
A couple of times Simms could have been away yesterday, but Sheaf and Eccles just kept running with ball and didn't release the pass, much to his frustration.
But we have to expect that with 5 new outfield players starting yesterday and a couple more coming off the bench.
Players still learning about each other. Remember last week played Sunday, played Wednesday (getting back late), played Saturday.
So most the week it would have been recovery and Tuesday and Friday prepping for game next day. So not full training sessions.
As fans we have to give the players and coaching staff time to work on things.
Which internationals do we have?At the very least until after the international break. And even then now we’ll be missing half the squad on international duty it seems!
Simon MooreWhich internationals do we have?
Haji wright
Lati
That's it?
You mean youth levels too?
Who they play for? Palmer Jamaica?Simon Moore
Kasey Palmer
Moore played for Isle of Wight, if that counts!Who they play for? Palmer Jamaica?

I thought Saka had played for Japan? No idea if he’s in their current plans though…
That will change this seasonLooks like he’s not been near the squad since 2021
They call them bunnets.Liam Kelly also has a cap for Scotland
I can't see Robins playing 2 big strikers together. He loves Godden anyway and if he gets injured will probably play one up front.I'm pretty confident that Simms will be a success for Cov. Still reeling his way into the team who are largely still a major work in progress. He needs a goal and more game time . Currently it's difficult to leave out Godden and Wright is a proper handful who I think in the short term will be starting ahead of Simms. Patience is key and I envisage when he gets the opportunity he will flourish playing alongside Wright

Hope I'm proved wrong and I'd certainly like to see them tried together.
It’s not a given COH will come in and replace Palmer. COH may not be the same upon his return and Palmer is highly rated by MR and Viveash. COH will need to work his way in and that’s without discounting Sakamoto and/or a potential new signing.Would have just thought O'Hare would take Palmer's place

Yeah, I think he will get one and then go on a scoring run.I've seen enough to see there's a decent player in there, it's just getting it out of him, that's all, as some have eluded too, he's hardly kick a ball since January, so he won't be sharp, plus hes learning how we play. I think he'll take a while to get going but it'll suddenly click and he'll be banging them in every week.
Jury is still out on Simms for me. Watched a lot of him on Saturday. MR obviously loves his forwards holding the ball up in the channels, which he does, but everything after that is just frustrating. Doesn’t make the runs. Watch him when we win the ball back, he’s not on his toes.
Damn Gyökeres spoiled is huh

Disagree. He made plenty that weren't spotted vs. 'Boro. Lots of his goals at Blackpool and Sunderland were through balls where he's on the last shoulder or times a run for a ball in behind. I get he has to adapt, but he is making runs.Doesn’t make the runs.
I reckon you could be the new Andy Turner.Mentioned this in the match thread, but there was a moment where Simms was released down the channel by DaSilva. Was ball side, defender a couple of yards behind.
Now i dont know if its because we were spoiled by Vik, but what I saw from that position was shite.
He ended up stumbling around, ball never under control and if anything had started to roll out, he nudges it along a bit whilst flailing about, somehow allows the defender to get round him and start taking the ball away, simms drags him back and fouls him.
I just found that piss poor, thats bread and butter for a big striker isnt it, shield the ball near the touchline, try and hold it up, lay the ball off or win a foul or throw.
And when the foul was given it was just nonchalant 'meh'. I'll reserve until after the international break before i become overly critical but i just thought that, along with the movement I've seen from him isnt that standard i thought he would bring as of yet
