Of course he is a better all round player, he's going to cost £60-80m in the summer. Probably a top ten centre forward in world football.Gyokeres is a million miles better than both , the comparisons are mental
Simms hasn't scored a single goal against any team in the top half of the championship.
He's scored 6 goals against teams in the bottom 5
And 3 against non league Maidstone United.
Just saying.

On pure G/A they both compare favourably to Vik at 23 (Simms) and last season (wright). The comparison just demonstrates how unfair the criticism has been.
Yea sure if you want to ignore that they are playing in different competitions and the one game sample size.If we just go purely on pass completion liam kelly compares favourably to rodri based off last night
My maths is shit, it leaves you with 14 actually
Any comparison is allowed for internet points
Point is he's not doing anything remotely close in his all round game to what vik was for us .. as long as he scores goals great , can't control a ball and can't head a ball but also can't take a man onYea sure if you want to ignore that they are playing in different competitions and the one game sample size.
Gyokeres was a one off at this level, no one is going to be a one man attack.Point is he's not doing anything remotely close in his all round game to what vik was for us .. as long as he scores goals great , can't control a ball amd can't head a ball can't take a man on
Yea but the strikers don't show aggression and passion so we must criticise them...
Was the first time he's been manhandled like that since he's joined us?Point is he's not doing anything remotely close in his all round game to what vik was for us .. as long as he scores goals great , can't control a ball and can't head a ball but also can't take a man on
Haji wright needs to stay on his feet when trying to win a duel
Not sure but I thought a little frustration was shown, I'd expect aggression to follow.Wright was getting his shirt pulled a lot and everytime it went into Simms he was pushed in the back.
They'll have to get used to it like Vik did

He couldn't finish according to @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 though.....I still don't understand how coventry fans keep comparing ellis simms with gyokeres , who scored 17 league goals in his first full season, and 21 the following , who could carry the ball up the pitch and score form his own half and is now potentially a top 10 forward in world football
Simms is 12 goals with at least 11 games left of the season. It’s not out of the question that he or Wright surpasses Gyokeres’ first goal haul of 17.He couldn't finish according to @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 though.....
Last season we were more of a break away team. Most of our goals were from quick turnovers. Not sure we have the players for this ATM. That said I wish we were clearing the ball out of defence quicker. Against Preston their second was down to that, I would argue the 1st wouldn’t have happened if we had ran out as soon as the corner was knocked up field. Last night we were close to giving the ball away and a better opponent may have got something.
Not convinced with the defence right now.

What are you talking about? Both players have improved as the season has gone on, but started out pretty poorly. Simms for one has only really started performing in the last month or two and looks a different player to the one we saw before Christmas. I don't see how anyone can really argue with that from a serious perspective. If you are talking about Vik then I think it is pretty well regarded that he is one of the best players we've had in the modern day. Saying he missed a few easy chances doesn't change that, and I was one of his biggest advocates after his loan spell here when he was written off by Swansea and a lot of our fans. It was pretty clear his grit and determination stood out.He couldn't finish according to @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 though.....

I think it's quite unhealthy that you spend most of your time on this forum trying to antagonise people. I feel sorry for you because sometimes you can be really nice, but something has gone wrong somewhere either in your childhood or your current life to behave in such a fashion so frequently. Sort yourself out.
he’s talking about vik
Precisely PVA, when we win the ball back just steam into them.It's difficult to be quick and decisive when the opposition are sat with 10/11 players behind the ball though. It's when they have the ball and we turn it over that we need to be quick and direct, which generally we're pretty good at.
Gyokeres performed as expected View attachment 34424
Yeah but that consisted of absolute worldview he shouldn’t have scored plus missing a load of sitters. At least that’s how it felt.
You don't get a big European move if you can't finish , sure like every player he missed a few chances
Wait, it's easier to score goals against shit teams than good teams?!
So what your saying is, Gyokeres has 13 goals against good teams and Simms has none.OK, take away from Gyokeres' 22 total goals against non-league or bottom 5 teams:
1 v Wrexham
4 v QPR
2 v Wigan
1 v Cardiff
That leaves you with 13.
Just encouraging no?So what your saying is, Gyokeres has 13 goals against good teams and Simms has none.
We had a world class striker in waiting in Gyokeres, Simms and Haji arent quite that but are for sure premier league material in the future, I’d say Haji is closer to Prem material as he has a little bit more about his game, but Simms has age on his side
Thats a very good point, I think he needs a slight bit more, I’ve been one of those thats been backing him. Everton deemed him good enough last year to lead their line every now and then so its in him. There’s a little bit that can be tidied up and I think bang ready, Haji I think just needs to use his body a bit better he’s 6ft4 and not exactly skinny if he learns to do that he’s 100% ready he’s capable, they both areI mean Simms has actually played and scored in the Prem.
Neither of these two players are premier league material unless they undergo a monumental improvement. By the same token lots of other championship strikers are premier league material as well.We had a world class striker in waiting in Gyokeres, Simms and Haji arent quite that but are for sure premier league material in the future, I’d say Haji is closer to Prem material as he has a little bit more about his game, but Simms has age on his side
