Ellis simms (63 Viewers)

In the interest of balance have you got stats on how many of Simms first touches have gone further than Thomas's clearances?

If I remember correctly I think Thomas is just ahead in the "headers away from goal stats"

Got to be honest, I like Simms but can see both sides of the debate but sometimes some of the stuff he does is so bad its indefensible.

He chased a through ball Friday and looked frightening Bloke behind us was surprised how quick he looked, then he laid off a ball and it shanked out for a throw in, just looks like he concentrates so hard on just doing the simple things, looks a really nervous player, maybe that’s the problem , just needs to relax a bit,

 

[Grendel]

It’s been said before - Simms attracts attention from the defenders which creates room for Haji and Jack - while he may not be in the goals his role is pretty critical imo

Great he attracts attention - well worth his transfer fee and wages alone

 

[Calista]

He's got it in him to be a real weapon in this league, and I still believe he'll prove it. We'd be mad to let him go IMO.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Simms is what he is. He’s capable of getting a decent amount of goals at this level which is an obvious asset. But his all round game is severely lacking with things such as controlling the ball and passing being way off. As a professional I’d expect him to be working on that relentlessly but there is no improvement.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Josh Sargent might make a very interesting partner for Haji when we go up. Just a thought but those two are the stand out strikers in the Championship.

Add Sainz to your list while you’re at it.

 

[jto123]

He’s becoming a problem to be honest. Lack of goals and he hold up play is dreadful. He basically doesn’t have a first touch.

 

[Grendel]

He’s just not anywhere near good enough

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

He was bad today.

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

He's fucking shit

Hopefully Robins is given 1 million and pisses it up the wall on Ellis, honestly comedy at times watching him.

I could attract attention with a life jacket and whistle..Doesn’t mean I’d make it as a professional footballer.

 

[Matt smith]

He’s not good enough.

If we’re still in this league I’d look at moving him on to a bottom half side who have a bit of cash to spend

Stoke?

 

[Blind-Faith]

Stealing a living as a pro footballer. We’ve had our pants well and truly pulled down with money paid for him

 

[JPG77]

He was poor today, didn't show strength, hold up the ball and when he had the chance to run on to the ball first half still ended up losing the ball. He is not the answer, I wanted him to be but he doesn't have the fight or belief

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

Everyone down a pint every time Simms makes an error.

Seriously, how many pints on average would we have sunk?

 

[Snaily]

He’s got the ability to be effective, but his 1st touch is woeful. Turns up 1 in 5, which isn’t good enough

He's poor, we need better.

 

[rob9872]

Anyone going to defend him today? Or Collins. Whole team were bad, but those two were utterly dreadful.

Serious question11 Brad Collins vs 11 Ellis Simms

Score predictions?

I've got it 0-0

We'd all be meeting at AA not the CBS

He hasn't man come on, he makes me laugh at how useless he is.

 

[covcity4life]

A poor performance. He doesn't do it consistently enough and barring red hot end to season I wonder if lampard will try to move him on

2-0 to Ellis Simms (2 x Brad Collins own goals).

MvE was poor today, but that's uncharacteristic for him, so probably down to fatigue.

Collins and Simms are weak links, and have been all season.

 

[HungarySkyBlue]

Wank, will be hard to get rid of in summer, I don't actually know what his strengths are when watching him.

fucking hell spat my beer out reading that

 

[Cally Fedora]

Really poor performance from Simms. It’s the very basics that he doesn’t do well. Now the goals have dried up he adds nothing

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

His strengths are no1 knowing his strengths including himself, that right there is a strength

We have a few of these types of player! Allen, Simms, Lati, Collins, Sakamoto all don’t seem to be able to be consistently decent. A game here n there! To push on we need players who can perform 95% of the time.

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

2-0 to Ellis Simms (2 x Brad Collins own goals).

fucking pissing myself

 

[junglej13]

Used to defend Simms but it's becomingly increasingly hard. His touch is genuinely, unbelievably poor for a professional. He offers absolutely nothing.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

His time in up in the summer regardless. Can’t defend him anymore. We need much better from a number 9.

 

[TomRad85]

Awful today. EMC comes back in and Wright goes up front. I'm sure Lampard sees it this way too.

 

[Shannerz]

No, Wright has to play on the left. That's where he's most effective (by far), and he's our biggest goal threat.

We need someone better than Simms.
