Genuinely what’s the harm in taking a look at him in pre season upfront with Dom,he knows where the goal is and they don’t change ,just give him a run out ,superb goals tonight

Actually age group wise Simms was always the better natural finisher than DCL. But he can’t match DCL ‘s workrate, holdup play, and heading ability to name a few area. He’s nowhere near replacing DCL but Simms is improving nicely, a wee bit each season, that’s all you can ask at this stage of him.

...yep, was going to say similar. Always a good sign when a player was a prolific goalscorer in youth/schoolboy Football as it shows its ‘natural’. Simms has always been like that, DCL hasn’t.

As you, there’s been so much more missing from Simms game. This loan does, though, seem to be working well in developing those weak areas. He always comes alive when the ball is played behind the back four or in the box, but his link play was good in the lead up to his 2nd goal.

He has the physicality, he’ll score goals if he has a chance. Very interested what Everton do in this situation, perhaps Simms has surprised Brands.

Got Man of the Match. Deserved it too.

Do Blackpool have a midfield by any chance?

Their front 2 are great together unlike ours

He already has the hardest skill in the game that you can’t teach. Natural finisher.

Now it’s about whether he can improve the other areas to become a premier league player.

Another loan next season in championship would be another good test

You guys are doing it again where you want him involved in the first team because he's done well, Just let him build lads, He's only 20.
I'd be sending him back out to Blackpool whatever the outcome imo, They play him every game and the manager seems to know what's best for him and how to improve.

.....didn’t know we ran a poll. I’ll vote for him anyway.

He doesn't not look like a player on his first season of professional football. He's getting better with each game for blackpool.

“ You guys”??? I would say you are doing what a lot of people on GOT do , one post and you assume everybody is saying the same. The simplest thing to do is to reply to the post you don’t agree with then you can debate with that poster.

Will never play a league game for us

We are always playing so bad youngsters don’t get a chance look at Gordon I thought he would play much more this season.

Does anyone pass the ball to them like? LOL

DCL always seemed to have that desire to work hard off the ball and is now adding goals and turning into a great striker. Let’s hope Simms can learn a few things workrate wise to add to his finishing

Let’s hope he gets a chance here, but he won’t get the amount of games DCL got to see if he was any good.
