Simon Buttle
Player Valuation: £50m
Last night against Boro he was on his own with 2 attacking mids in behind him and it just didn't really work at all tbh but then Sunderland had a poor game overall and never really seemed to get going.When he moved up to the u23s Unsworth played Simms as the striker in a 4-2-3-1. He struggled at first but improved his hold up play and other aspects. So I’m not too worried about him playing as a lone striker, he’ll need the rest of the team to also work out how to help him , but I see it as another part of his development by playing in different formations.
