2022/23 Ellis Simms

[mistuhp]

He's done that same type of pass a couple times now, once from each side, with the other one resulting in Iwobi drawing a penalty. He also has done some flick ons between the last game and this one that nobody's been there to run on to. He has very obvious limitations, but if he can continue picking out dangerous spaces to play the ball to, whether for himself or somebody else to run on to, he can definitely have a positive impact in the final months. Would love to see Gray getting on the end of a couple of those balls. He'll give it right back to the opposition enough to be frustrating, but he has definitely created some good chances in limited time, thus far.

Simms will play his part in keeping us up this season - I don't think we've turned the corner yet but at least we can see the flipping corner.

Simms will get a goal next time he starts

 

[KindofBlue]

nice appearance today. fine pass to doucoure.

 

[blueloon]

He did well when he came on , more decent contributions from him than mistakes, a couple of good hold ups and of course the Doucoure pass , if he’d received that pass and one from McNeil he‘d have tucked one of the two away . The dilemma is that Simms is perfect for coming on at 70/80 mins , causing defences problems and adding a bit of pace/ legs to our attack, but of course we’re short of decent starting attackers .

Thought he did okay.

For an isolated striker though I feel like he has such little mobility that it'll never

May be some of use when we are chasing a gmae and getting balls in the box though

 

[PhilRegan]

There's something there but also lots missing. Shame we can't ease him in or we don't have a decent striker he can learn from and take the pressure away. He's more what we need that maupay like but so is literally any other forward in the league

 

[Cels]

Thought Ellis Simms had a decent cameo today and got rid of the ball quickly and efficiently to keep our play moving in a productive way. Two or three more introductions like that should see him bedding into the team nicely.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Did well during his cameo. Would have had an assist to his name if it wasn't for Doucs.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Think he might get more joy coming on against tiring defences rather than starting at the moment.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

We need to bed him in so we have depth. We can’t live with DCL injured every other weekend. Time to get his backup or replacement ready.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Much easier to look decent coming off the bench when the opposition are three quarters spent.

Would rather him a few more games coming on a sub than playing him from the off.

 

[PKwalnuts]

Some players just need a chance, this lad is being given his, in a baptism of fire and steep learning curve. I'm getting behind him, seen enough to think he can add something.

 

[Lanolin]

Did well today, can be useful for us if he can continue at that level.

 

[Khalekan]

Should have had an assist today…Doucoure should have scored.

Might have scored a goal…if McNeil had looked up.

Big Ellis did well when he came on.

He seems to be stripping a bit lighter too.

 

[BlueInNZ]

That was a great run out. Should do his confidence the world of good.

Pass to Doucs was superb. I’d still start Maupey next game but maybe bring him on sooner
