I think people are giving Sims a higher rating than Godden because they perceived that he played better.
I think the majority see it that way. That’s how it works.
I think people are giving Sims a higher rating than Godden because they perceived that he played better.honestly how are you and others giving godden a lower rating than simms, i can’t recall simms holding the ball up once let alone having a run at the defenders, godden held the ball up and linked play, there was no shock that him and wright linked up and almost scored. says a lot.
Palmer 5

I rated him higher with a 6, Godden a 4. So I think he did and gave my thoughts as to why.yeah cheers, but did simms play better?
Harsh on Godden but agree with most of that.An encouraging performance all round, unlucky to lose. There will be loads of entertainment this season.
Wilson 8 – can’t fault him for anything
Eccles 7 – barely mentioned by people in the pre-season discussions, but versatile and a key part of the squad
Thomas 8 – looks a superb signing, but beaten in the air by a midfielder, and did that annoying “hands behind the back” thing for their winner instead of rushing out to the man
McFadzean 7 – the usual excellence plus a goal
Latibeaudiere 7 – another good signing
Da Silva 7 – looks a good footballer
Sheaf 6 - not his best game
Hamer 7 – some great stuff as usual, but he does give the ball away a fair bit without people seeming to notice
Palmer 7 – not much worked for him early on, but he’s so classy
Godden 5 – reasonable in his general play, but you can’t fluff three clear chances
Simms 6 – very disappointing at times but I think he has the ability to come good
van Ewijk 5 – hopefully not yet match fit
Sakamoto 7 – a live wire
Wright 8 – I love him already, so many attributes
Kelly 6 – not sure what crimes he was supposed to be guilty of today
Clearly if people rated him higher then yesyeah cheers, but did simms play better?
Wilson 6
Did ok, couple of good saves and some smart distribution. Conceded 2 so gets a 6.
Fadz 8
Plus 1 for goal and marshalling defence.
Thomas 8
I thought he did well and has slotted in with the team quickly.
Lati. 7
Same as above. We have the makings of a solid back 3.
Eccles 7
Didn’t see him as our first choice RWB and worried that it was a bad call. I still see him as a youth player in the team because our squad is so thin, but to be fair today did pretty well.
Dasilva 8
I thought he showed purpose and control. Solid championship player.
Hamer 8
He’s just a level above now isn’t he?
Sheaf 5
Not a “boo boy” thing. Last couple of seasons he’s come on a lot. Today he was caught out of kilter a few times and made silly fouls in dangerous positions. Passing wasn’t too good. Just not his best game.
Palmer 7
His close play is excellent and has the ability to use both feet well. When he looks to have got into trouble his quick feet get him out. Tiring towards the end - needed to come off sooner.
Sims 6
Tried to play as Gyok but not quite there. Not a bad game and surprisingly subbed.
Godden 4
Missed 3 chances that he is paid to put away. His role is poacher, not target man or tricky runner. From that point of view, he cost us 3 points. There are always virtue-signalling “white knight” posters that want to make themselves look like good people by sticking up for players. Today Godden was poor. That’s it.
Subs
Van Ewjyk 5
Tried too hard to impress and made the wrong decision a few times. I’m sure he’ll come good though.
Wright 7
Showed some promise. Needs to start next game.
Kelly 7
Older pros are often ok in the CDM position where they don’t have to run as much as read the game. Kelly is getting on but could be the next M Doyle and I thought he did ok. Haven’t looked back at the goals but if he was sluggish to get back then that’s a shame but on the face of it not a bad sub cameo.
Tata 6
Not enough time to assess.
Robins 5
Cmon man. What was the thinking in taking a 22 year old fit striker off and leaving at 32 year old on? Why not get both strikers off and put Kelly in to sit deep and the fresh legs of Wright on?
Poor choices cost the points.
Nodidn’t simms also fluff three clear chances?
Palmer did absolutely nothing, fucking shocking can’t wait for o hare to be back
what game were you watching?
5 is probably harsh. 6.
Yep, got the "Ignore" in early!Its a troll account
Ask a stupid question....cheers for clearing that one up for me
5 is probably harsh. 6.
He was poor first half an hour, then played well for about 30 mins either side of half time, and then tired. The frustrating thing about him today was the simple passes he got wrong. He was also often the most furthest forward of all our players leaving massive hole in midfield for sheaf and Hamer to plug.

No I agree just think it’s funny how some players can get an 8 when they make frequent errors - 6 is about right - the gap has to be addressed - when Hamer went off we had only sheaf in midfield. For the first goal he’s then dragged carries to and cover the left. It has to be addressed when Hamer isn’t playing
Yes Sheaf and Kelly doesn't work at all. Wrexham showed that, although we also had Waghorn and Tavares up front that day! Assume Eccles was tired as otherwise he should have moved into hhe middle.I like Kelly but you can’t play him and sheaf in midfield two. Neither get around pitch quickly enough. Presume Eccles was tired otherwise I’d have drop him inside if hamer was coming off
I would say better, I'd say less worseI'm in the Godden was better than Simms camp. He probably should've done better, but the fact he's getting the chances is no bad thing for a forward, also two were on his weaker foot, one a good save. Simms killed off a fair few moves and had the clearest cut chance of the game but rushed a hollywood finish
This, but I'd swap the marks of Godden and Simms.Wilson 6
Didn't have to do much. Looked fine.
Thomas 8
He gets a 9 if KDH doesn't out jump him.
Fadz 8
Don't remember him doing anything bad.
Latibeaudiere 7
Hard for him at LCB, but looked v.good.
Eccles 8
Had his man in his pocket. Played great.
Da Silva 7
Looks a good signing. Glad he's here.
Hamer 8
Like at Wembley, he stays on, we win.
Sheaf 7
Felt he faded 2nd half. Big year for him.
Palmer 7
Lost the ball too often, esp. at the end.
Godden 7
Worked his arse off. One awful scuff.
Simms 6
A 7 in the 2nd half. He'll get goals for us.
Kelly 6
If we want autos, we need an upgrade.
Wright 7
Looked seriously promising. Will be fun.
MvE 5
Didn't get up to speed. Glad he didn't start.
Sakamoto 6
Didn't get much time to make an impact.
Robins 7
Eccles starting was a good call. Him instead of Kelly in the middle and I think we win or draw.
How many marks out of 10 would you give the ratings?Ratings are fairer than I expected.
Nodidn’t simms also fluff three clear chances?
There was always the danger of comparisons . Vik was superb for us Simms has a lot to live up to. I’m still quite sad he’s gone.Thomas my MOTM. Felt for Simms, basically getting stagged off by loads around because he's not Gyokeres.
How Godden stayed on the pitch is a mystery.
Wright looked good as did all the new players.
Oh, and never park in Morrisons, took 50 mins to get out.
