Homepage Article Ellis Simms Joins Blackpool

[Tin-Tin]

Good on him, get his first goal out of the way. Hopefully a few more to come in the next few months

Would be really nice to see him and a few of the other youngsters make the step up to the first team instead of fall by the wayside.

From looking at the articles when he signed his contract there doesn't appear to be any confirmation if it was 2 or 3 year deal so could be june 21 or 22.

 

[DaChunk]

Hows his pace though? People on here were saying hes too slow for the prem

Didn’t realise Wigan were struggling so badly in that league, but still, to come on with 20 mins to go and the game won, on a cold Tuesday night in Wigan, and bang a couple in is sound.

Good on the lad.

 

[blueloon]

Not bad , two headed goals and I’ve often said he really needs to work on his heading ability, one of his weak areas Got that wrong tonight, well done lad.

 

[the golden visionary]

Better sign as a striker if he's scoring from close range. DCL hasn't scored from beyond the penalty spot more than a handful of times. You make your money in close.

Gary lineker agrees

I tried to find out at the time but couldn't.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Good to see, hopefully it helps push him into the first 11

 

[Osamabindiesel]

This is exactly why you send lads on loan. Well done

He isnt slow at all mate, for the under 23's he is up front on his own half of the time.
You cant do that job being a snail.
His game has a few rough edges but he can score, not ready for are first team yet ,but you cant really have enough of that type of player who can put the ball in the back of the net naturally.

I think one thing that will help Ellis more than anything is he is a wonderful finisher at his age. Those players often do well on loan

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Didn't have to do much for his goals. The one real test was his one on one and he fluffed it.

I hope he goes on to have a great career but I don't think it will be with us.
