Simms today mom for me

Gave them problems throughout. Excellent reaction to that difficult first half and early substitution last week. Will be interesting when the time comes for he and Madine to play together...
 
Whilst I agree, I thought the Charlton centre halves were dreadful - gave the forwards far too much time and space, they were petrified of Yates' running behind them.
 
Shaw did well when he came on also, a through ball and a good cross.

I like him, was surprised when he went out on loan but maybe would have helped him.

Always though he adds something and seems to do the right things when sometimes others go back to keeper too easily, he went forward.

Critch certainly knows a youth player. Gabriel, Ballard and Simms on loan have been class.

Saying that, I think most of our signings have been quality so far.
 
Simms had his marker on toast,fantastic display from him today,I was amazed at how physical he was today.
 
He had a terrific game, their defence just couldn't handle him. The confidence of the whole team is clear to see.
 
He looks and sounds in his interview like he really wants to learn. He's growing into the role with power and pace and I'd gladly have him on a season long loan in the Championship next season. UTMP
 
Caused massive problems for their defence. Thought we’d miss Madine more to be honest but Simms gives us something different, definitely as effective though. Coolness personified from Jerry for the pens, and a well taken strike from Matty. 3 points and a clean sheet. Onwards we go! UTMP 🍊 🍊 🍊
 
After the Portsmouth game I said that he was out of his depth. With hindsight that was harsh - today he was impressive. Just don't expect high level in every game - young players tend to be inconsistent. Madine's return will be welcome.
 
First time I've seen him really contribute to games and it's interesting to look at his overall game and actually ask going forward if he continues to put in a shift like that whether he keeps his place over Madine who, for me, when he's not at the races doesn't really work.
 
Wonderful all round performance from Simms. A team performance of quality he was MOM. He created so many problems for the Charlton defence throughout the game and solid at the back when needed.
