I saw him make several runs where the ball wasn’t played in or was played too late. The team just needs time to bed in.I watched him intently for a bit to see if i was being harsh.
He just fucking ambles about. His choice of run is shocking. Never in the channels, never off the shoulder. Looks like bambi on ice when he does get it. There was a moment where Sheaf was itching to play hom through, simms went, stopped, went stopped, dallyed about leading to the chance going and Sheaf having to turn back
A few times after that both Sheaf and Eccles turned back after going forward due to Simms piss poor movement
Wright is way better at this point. And Goddens putting the pair of them to shame
I thought he was ok today, put through a couple of times by Palmer and nearly scored.
Ive just got a bad feeling though, because he’s not Gyokeres, people are writing him off already.
He desperately needs a goal to get people off his back
Happened a lot when Allen the season before last. Then last season we worked out he was doing it and started to pass to him.he does make runs in behind but the ball never finds him
He just needs some time to grow into his own body in a footballing sense, Gyokeres was exactly the same.It's more to do with his price tag for me. He's a big lad who doesn't win many duels.
He's the type of player where we'll need to adapt to his style rather than him adapting to ours.
Thing is, is 3-4 games really that much of a barren spell?!?
I think Robins had a feeling he would score against his old team. I prefer form and evidence and wouldn’t have had Simms in the team.I’d like to see:
Palmer Ayari
Simms
Just got a feeling it would work.
Sunderland fans seem glad they didn't buy Simms, especially for that high a price. Think with Gyo, it was a low-priced gamble with a lot of potential upside. With Simms (and also Wright) the expectation for success is so high partly because of the outlay. The longer the barren spell goes on for Simms, the more fans and media are going to turn against him and his confidence will obviously take a hit. Need to gel with the rest of the team fast.
Me and my partner saying exactly this on the way home.I’d like to see:
Palmer Ayari
Simms

He's played just 218 minutes in the league season, and I may be wrong but I don't think he's played a minute of league football with Wright.No. And he’s 22 and cost half as much as Wright. It’s mental that all the expectation is on him (and he plays like it!).
Think they would look clueless together.I want to see him play with Wright rather than Godden.
Why? are you miraculously expecting him to turn into Harry Kane or something?I want to see him play with Wright rather than Godden.
Played well today imo , can't think of much he did wrong .. the service to our front line today overall was wank
No one is writing him off mate, but you gotta admit it’s been a pretty poor start…Exactly. Three and a bit games in. 22 years old. Fuck all service today, loads of runs ignored and some of our fantastic, supportive fan base is slagging and writing him off already. Nice one lads.
Agree. That's clearly what the idea was a few weeks ago and a huge amount of money was spent to make it happen.I want to see him play with Wright rather than Godden.
He started 3 games for themWas working with a Everton fan this week and I asked about Simms , he pissed his sides and told me he is shite , after today I have to agree . Can we return him and get our money back ? Because he isn’t what he was advertised for ( striker / goal scorer) lazier than Walker IMO … sorry
Typical bed wetters response.Exactly. Three and a bit games in. 22 years old. Fuck all service today, loads of runs ignored and some of our fantastic, supportive fan base is slagging and writing him off already. Nice one lads.
7 in 17 for Sunderland last season says it all.
He'll be fine, needs a few full games.
No one is writing him off mate, but you gotta admit it’s been a pretty poor start…
I’d give him longer than that to be honest the money we’ve spunked on him!He was tidy enough today. Held ball up ok, midfielders didn’t release balls a number of times he made runs and he had one tough chance from tricky angle that keeper saved.
I’ll give it 10 games or so before judging the new lads. Teams still a bit disjointed. Played some great stuff first half, tailed off a bit second (still not fully match up fit and we looked leggy last 20)
If he was any good they wouldn’t have sold him. People will keep saying he will come good though as they think they are being a nice fanWas working with a Everton fan this week and I asked about Simms , he pissed his sides and told me he is shite , after today I have to agree .

The barren spell? Get a grip. Ffs.Sunderland fans seem glad they didn't buy Simms, especially for that high a price. Think with Gyo, it was a low-priced gamble with a lot of potential upside. With Simms (and also Wright) the expectation for success is so high partly because of the outlay.

I hope he does become good and he proves me and everyone else wrongIf he was any good they wouldn’t have sold him. People will keep saying he will come good though as they think they are being a nice fan
