The point was you said you gave Torp credit despite a bad performance, whilst slinging tonnes of shit at Simms for a bad performance (“donkey” , “get rid” etc.,)

Overall Torp is a fantastic player from he’s shown pre last night, Just confused why he gets credit when he did barely anything against WBA.

You focus on Simms when the entire team performance wasn’t good (exceptions being Palmer and Eccles)

You're right. It wasn't .
Torp is a fantastic player and for me could be destined for the premiership. He found it tough last night and so wasn't able to impose himself and use his vision and skill as he has in other matches. So yes, he was disappointing but all players have matches where it doesn't work but that can be forgiven .

Simms on the other hand was what I expected. Slow, clumsy, can't shoot very well, doesn't use his height to any particular advantage, gets pushed off the ball, can't trap a bag of sand. He didn't have a particularly poor game by his standards. He is simply a very very average footballer but, as you say, he's only 23.

Outsiders looking purely at stats and see
Wright 11 goals
Simms 9, would think we are being a bit harsh but watching week in week out we know both have fell short of expectations and that to be nearer the top we need better.

Yes, but he doesn't score many of them!

Yes Ellis looks like he's playing with bowling shoes on at times and was v poor vs West brom. Looked sharp against Preston and Maidstone. Still alot of development and I think given time and patience which some of our fans can't deal with he will get better and better.

Great_Expectations · Mar 3, 2024

Not much point debating Simms, battle lines have been drawn by both sides.

Personally still think he’ll come good and we’ll see an improved striker next year. He’s clearly a massive introvert and possibly lacking in confidence despite the goals - MR and team have a job helping him with that.

Still, at least if he doesn’t make it here there’s loads of internet points for everyone who ‘called it’ ages ago.

Too many crybabies that night. We didn't even play that badly

Blaming the strikers when you concede poor goals and create no good chances is just a bit silly.

Simms had one chance that game, should’ve tested the keeper but it wasn’t a horrendous miss.

Fair play , great 3rd tbh

Great goal fir 2nd brilliant first time left foot finish. Started move with brilliant touch first time to Haji.

Lol what would have been odds 1st Jan.

Londonccfcfan · Mar 5, 2024

He doesn't even take penalties .. unlike Godden/Wright.

The watchmaker · Mar 5, 2024

Reckon he'll be alright.

Samo · Mar 5, 2024

BIG DOG!!!!

Londonccfcfan · Mar 5, 2024

Is that our first hatrick in championship under Robins?

Londonccfcfan · Mar 5, 2024

So glad he's shut up

Don't even remember Simms a decent chance that game yet the fucking abuse was horrific.

long way home · Mar 5, 2024

I would of thought Simms is going to be more effective than prolific. But at 22 he still has loads of room to keep improving especially his 1st touch. ..

Ashdown · Mar 5, 2024

Credit where credit is due ! Great result for City and Ellis in particular. The more I see him the more I think his confidence is the biggest issue. When he's on it he's on it !

AFCCOVENTRY · Mar 5, 2024

Leading goalscorer with Wright.

Fair play to Ellis. Positioning is always good and will get chances. Again he’s another one where he will be even better for us next season.

skybluecam · Mar 5, 2024

Perfect hattrick tonight (left, right, header). The complete striker.

Simms will score plenty of goals?

Wow

False9 · Mar 5, 2024

9 goals in 10 for Simms.

He's performed well in most games too, always a nuisance for defenders.

Regarding the WBA game, I don't mind a striker missing chances because at least he's threatening.

b12345 · Mar 5, 2024

Good performance outside of the goals tonight. Seems to be much better at linking play when he's knocking it quickly to a runner. The really heavy touches seem to come when he's trying to retain possession himself.

SBT · Mar 5, 2024

I think he has some way to go - his first touch is still horrendous, for example. But he’s building up a goalscoring record with multiple clubs that is hard to argue with.

It’s strange, when it’s pinged directly at him it never sticks, when he’s doing first time lay offs, he’s a lot better. Did some lovely first time balls tonight but agree, he’s got to learn how to hold ball up when there’s no team mates around him.

Coming a long well though and that thief was as good a first time finish as you’ll see. Comment by Robins about fans singing his song loudly says it all for me…support a player and most of the time we’ll get a positive response

wingy · Mar 5, 2024

He's our secret weapon!
They've just held him back and then unleashed him, making sure we don't have to pay a clause!

Feet made of springs, never seen a player with such a bad first touch. Get him in training, tie his hands behind his back and throw babies at him. (Not sure why UEFA never got back to me)

duffer · Mar 5, 2024

Slight aside... is it just me, or has Simms slimmed down a bit?

For clarity I'm not saying he was ever overweight, but watching on the telly the other night I thought he looked a bit lighter. Probably it's just the horizontal hold on the TV is broken...

When he has to think he often gets it wrong…when he just reacts his finishing is so much better

Yeah, first in the league at all since Goddens against Tranmere and first at home since McNulty against Grimsby (I think)

Agree with this. Need to improve his holding up of play with his back to goal, but actually laying the ball onto oncoming runners he’s pretty good
