I’d hope he avoids social media. I’ve not heard any ‘mass’ disdain during games yet. Long may that continue.

Let the fuckwit booboys write players off like they usually do.
I hope Simms has got his fingers in the ears celebration ready. That'll wind them up even more!

It’s a shame Simms name is so awkward. Fans need to get behind him. Both strikers will improve.Otger than the chants for Haji Wright

‘His name is a game’ is always there but you’d kind of want something with a bit more in it than that.Yeah, bizarre. Presume it’s cos the Wright song is easy to sing and we haven’t got one for Simms yet
Im not sure that was aimed at Simms, more just for the introduction of Wright . When i could see Wright was coming on i was thinking its 50/50 who comes off.Otger than the chants for Haji Wright
So what are we saying now. From the consensus on here hes not allowed to not start, hes not allowed to be subbed and no one is allowed to sing any other strikers name because it may upset him or affect his confidence.Can't do his confidence any good hearing the fans sing the name of the guy on the bench and not his tbf.

Surely singing another players name cant affect his confidence, hes a grown man and will have to have tougher skin than that if hes going to succeed.I don't think anyone has said any of those things.
Who's writing him off?Can't believe people writing him off already, new team, new system. Positive signs on Saturday and will get better, look at Gyokeres when he first signed, struggled to get in the team
Mick Ferguson doesn't look anything like Mick Ferguson since his beard disappeared.He looks slightly like Ferguson at a distance but doesn't play anything like him.
‘His name is a game’ is always there but you’d kind of want something with a bit more in it than that.
To be honest I think that should be it, but the orchestra masters have clearly decided otherwise.The closest this forum has come is “Simms is the best, better than Gyokeres” one.
same with Gyokores same with GoddenI'll jump to his defence, Mcnulty was shite for a couple of months and then couldn't stop scoring once he got going. Let's hope it's the same for Simms.
What? He makes runs behind a teams defence and that's a bad thing?People have mentioned him not getting the service, but one thing I've noticed is that he always makes the run behind the defender, this putting a player between him and the passer. So the passer might think the ball would get intercepted if he played it and so doesn't bother.
This seems to be a feature of his game. When the ball is on the wings he drifts towards the back post, making it less likely he'll get onto a cross.
He needs to start trying to get in front of a defender at times.
Godden missed the best chanceboth will improve given time, i dont get the apparent "hate" for Simms and the love in for Wright...
Wright missed easily our best chance on Saturday, had Simms have missed it there would have been uproar
both need to improve and will do, quite simple
Godden scored on his debut didn't hesame with Gyokores same with Godden
No. I said he always has a defender between himself and the person playing the ball. Makes the chance of him actually getting the ball pretty small. He needs to try and run across the defender as well.What? He makes runs behind a teams defence and that's a bad thing?

I was discussing it with a mate and the phrase 'he's hiding' was mentioned.I used to do that in Sunday league when I was trying to look like I was giving it a go but breathing out of my arse
Every striker does that. The idea is to play it in the space behind the defender who has to turn and try and get back before the striker gets the ball and shoots. He's not looking for a pass to his feet.People have mentioned him not getting the service, but one thing I've noticed is that he always makes the run behind the defender, this putting a player between him and the passer.

I'm not saying pass it to his feet. I'm saying for him to try and run in front of the defender onto a throughball. I know strikers tend to arc their runs behind a defender but Simms doesn't seem to not exploit the space behind but keep the defender between him and the ball making it harder for him to receive a pass. And I don't think he's got the acceleration to get across the back of the defender or to get onto a ball played further ahead of him.Every striker does that.

Where's the next Huckerby ?I'm not saying pass it to his feet. I'm saying for him to try and run in front of the defender onto a throughball.

Two yards offsideWhere's the next Huckerby ?
But moving so fast nobody spotted itTwo yards offside
Wrights was easier, Godden had absolutely no time and it pretty much just bounced off himGodden missed the best chance

Fair points.I can’t comment on whole game but second half I saw him peel away/arching run away from defender leaving space for through balls a couple of times but we kept it short and missed the chance. One was sheaf, not sure about other. Eccles and sheaf are very tidy in defensive midfield roles but less likely to try that type of pass than say hamer. As has been said before it’s players getting used to new players strengths and styles which will take time.
One thing I would say is if that was Vik he’d have been going mental at players for not trying longer through ball when there was an opening so next time they might be more likely to try. Hopefully simms will find his voice in time and also players will be more alert to some of his runs
