I literally responses to the post and mentioned looks like it has been deleted now. I then mentioned the 22 starts. I didn't even tag you to keep it respectable rather than calling you out. I thought I was being nice.
He started 12 or the last 18 games leading upto the boro game at the end of the season .. unless we played with 10 men , we lost 2 of those 18 and he was a part of the team that finished 5th .. end of story , you put nobody straight
And I've said I'm happy to have him as squad rotation which would probably mean around 18 odd starts . So I'm more than happy to keep him around in this role
I am not sure it necessarily showed that. He certainly was by far the better of the two in that match, but you'd hope and expect that Simms is better than he showed for most of that match.
It's a bit hard to judge, Simms was being asked to do Gyokeres role, which isn't his game, he is similar to Godden in being a box striker but wasn't really allowed to do that role. He will come good with Wright upfront.
Yup not sure how anyone could say Simms was worse on Sunday. He was more involved and for me that is key.
You look at his goals, and he is a poacher. But was asked to play with his back to goal, and on average position was the deepest of the front 3.
He’s a decent backup option and better than bringing in 2 further strikers rather than just the 1.
Yes thats true, hopefully we do get that loan forward in.
You need to watch him more.
I do notice people yourself included always seem to talk about how many " touches " godden has .. it's a strange thing to consistently bring up ..
I thought he held it up well second half. Looks a strong lad. Shame it looked like he was playing in steel toe cap boots when it came to him first half haha.
Wright and Simms may need time. Just wondering if Godden is going to play a bigger part than we realise?
Deep sea diving boots? I guess the passes through to him were weighted towards Gyo? He’s probably been doing bleep tests today..
Cos Godden was given his preferred role, Simms was being used as a Gyok replacement pulling wide and muscling the defenders.
He made himself a lot of good space and I’m happy enough (and patient) for now. I was more disturbed by some bad decision making by Simms but hopefully it was just debut excitement.
He wasn't at all, Simms played as a strike partner to Godden who worked well to create space to him. It really wasn't anything like Vik.
Maybe as a direct comparison, but it was more similar to Gyok than as a targetman aimed at getting goals. He was pulling wide and occupying defenders, battling for the ball. He even tried running at them, but looked ponderous doing it compared to Gyokeres.
every game it will be mentioned
