One thing about simms, when he gets a chance he usually buries it which gives you hope he might be more than just bigger than everyone

....I have a view that it’s majorly more difficult for forwards to make the step out of their own age group because the skill set is so different. The likes of Gibson, John and others make the step up to be regulars in the older age group but not many forwards do. Gordon is the one attacker who now seems to have bridged the divide.
...it’s a good point, he’s undoubtably a goalscorer so whilst he won’t be as prolific for the step up, he could still have a decent average.

He's already scored 2 for them from just a handful of appearances, most of them from the bench. So that's already decent.
The other thing that I'm not sure anybody has picked up on yet is that he doesn't take pens. I don't think any of his goals, certainly not in the league anyway, have been pens. I know that Liverpool lad who is currently in the England side has scored quite a few.
Agreed, I’ve said the same and so has everybody, that he’s been average at U23s.
But.... I’ve had a closer look at what we’ve seen. He played 61 mins in PL2 when we beat Derby 1-0 ; 90 mins against Bayern, 25 mins against Brighton both in that International Cup, scoring against Brighton; 18 mins against Oldham in the Checkatrade Trophy. So that’s barely two and a bit games in total . He’s also played in the Lancashire cup I think, but I can’t remember that.
I think that while we judged him on what we saw , he really hasn’t been given enough game time to bed in and make his mark and deserves more time at 23s. All I am saying , is give Simms a chance lol ( at U23s that is)
Oh yeh definitely not saying he's had enough minutes at U23 yet I'm just getting an early prediction in for that he won't be as good at that level. Gives off a Brewster vibe.
Forced me to check on his current whereabouts - now without a club after leaving Witton Albion in the Northern Premier League.
Let's hope I'm wrong then... haha

The rain, it raineth every day
Ellis Simms should be on the bench for the burnley game imo
Would make a statement and if we are winning comfortably can bring him in for his first team debut

....I would think he needs to establish himself at U23 level first, he rarely gets a start in the older age group and appears to be behind Anthony Gordon in the queue.
