His goal scoring record prior to us is shocking. 7 goals in 17 games for Sunderland is bang average yet Oggy will come out with his ‘proven at this level’ nonsense
Hardly had our pants pulled down. Ipswich and Sunderland also offered similar sums we offered more upside on promotion etc
He’s had a decent run recently. Just poor finishing last night but wasnt the only one

7 in 17, is 19 goals a season over 46 games. Pretty much a 20 goal a season. In fact he scored a goal every 162 minutes for them, so using that measure it would be 23/24 goals over a 46 game season if he played every minute. What's average about that?His goal scoring record prior to us is shocking. 7 goals in 17 games for Sunderland is bang average yet Oggy will come out with his ‘proven at this level’ nonsense
Ellis and Oggy are about as Bright as each otherHis goal scoring record prior to us is shocking. 7 goals in 17 games for Sunderland is bang average yet Oggy will come out with his ‘proven at this level’ nonsense
He's on a four year contract and no one at League 1 level could afford his wages.Simms will end up playing at a lower level along with Godden sometime soon. Both will be better suited to having a bit more time in front of goal and with poorer defenders to thwart them.
Scotland might be a good move or League 1
Agree sadly but that's his levelHe's on a four year contract and no one at League 1 level could afford his wages.
Simms has the technical ability of a very average striker. Snatches at chances and constantly leaning backwards.
People need to stop blowing smoke up his arse and grasp reality here. It's not confidence, he's just not very good. And as for dumber, words fail me. If he put as much effort in as he does on his appearance he'd be half decent
No but my missus does. She only started watching when he came on . So probably drew my attention to his look??
Is this a weird way of saying you fancy him?
Vindication in a way though, for those of us who have stood by the fact he is a honking footballer
I am not sure if this was tongue in cheek?I don’t think he’ll ever make it here and Robins doesn’t fuck about getting rid if necessary.

If genuine I can't see how we could sell him. He's on a long contract and his record here wouldn't attract bids.
How do we off load him?If you put a lanky old school centre half up front like Tony Adams he'd have looked pretty similar in terms of his mobility and looking completely out of position though , of course, he'd be far superior in the air.
If we don't off load him in the summer I'd question what kind of formation we intend to play next season as well as how ambitious a club we are.
Christ knows . Would they have signed him if they'd have known what they were getting ? I can't believe they would. It's just an almighty disaster.How do we off load him?
Turd polishingFarkinell.. 2 league losses in a row and out come the pitchforks.
Everyone had a bad game last night, with the exception of Palmer, who btw, missed several chances, including some that were skied. Torp was poor, O’Hare was ineffective and hooked at HT, Binks and Thomas were both poor, Eccles managed to hit a shot off his standing leg and MVE got turned inside out last night. No one could do the fucking basics; control the ball or play simple passes.. and don’t get me started on our set pieces.
As for Simms, yes he was poor too but fuckme, the focus on him after last night’s team performance is a bit weird. I get he’s no where near the finished article and he needs a lot of coaching but that ball is in MR’s court.. we scouted him and we signed him, it’s the coaching staff’s job to bring out the best in him.

He can't turn with the ball when he's got his back to goal, balance is awful, can't jump.He’s probably having his best mini run since arriving and one game with a couple of poor efforts and fans talking about offloading him or not even being able to get rid of him*. WTF ?!
His finishing was poor last night (as was others) but it’s hardly like he missed any sitters. I thought he played ok apart from those couple of efforts
This site is getting crazier by the minute today
*Sunderland and Ipswich bid similar amounts to us
He got bend on the ball. When i was 5 i was delighted to do that!
20 Grand a week. Seen better down the Memorial on a Sunday morning.
He can't turn with the ball when he's got his back to goal, balance is awful, can't jump.
Perhaps the scouts saw different when he was signed and he's gone backwards ever since .
Thing is, what are Simms attributes? a lone striker needs to be able to hold the ball up and be able to finish clincially given he is the only striker. He cannot play with his back to goal. He is not clinical.Farkinell.. 2 league losses in a row and out come the pitchforks.

How does torp gets credit for his worst performance since he signed? He was fucking awful, slow, had no bite in midfield and was completely walked through all night and his delivery from set pieces was piss poor. Had a decent 10 minute spell In the second half when everyone had their tails up and that was it. I can accept it was just one of those nights.We were poor but in that context I thought Torp, Parmer and Eccles came out with some credit .
The game was lost first half. We were better second half but Simms did nothing but shoot over the bar, lose possession and fall over. He has to be one of the worst strikers in this division.
The WBA commentators also remarked on how ineffective he was .You obviously see what you want to see. I’m not even saying he was good last night but he made several headed clearances in his own box last night. The commentator even noticed it.
It was more or less over by half time . A draw would have felt like a win.We actually controlled a lot of the possession, we were probing all night, even the Baggies commentators said so. There take was about right…If we could take our chances we would have got something. Its no good smashing up the rest of the team.
