Ellis Simms stepping up in place of Kean?

[Azza]

Well....

 

[Death]

Well....

Im Blackpool supporter now.

 

[Carloblues]

To be honest this is what he needed 2/3 years ago, playing ressy football does nothing for his development.

If he can go there and get a some goals, some experience then maybe he can come back next season and play some part.

Remain dubious though me, he's what 20 now and never played a professional game?

 

[DanEFC92]

Not that we were using him, but we are properly light up front.

 

[Pabbers]

Good luck to the lad, just what he needs.....getting knocked about by those League 1 grocks.

 

[Ring master]

Good move for him, he was always going on loan in Jan,as Unsworth said it a few times

 

[Toffeelover]

Much rather kept him on and downgrade Tosun. But the short loan to end of season should get him game time.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Thank God he's going out to play proper football.

 

[blulouie]

Good move for the lad hope he does well.

Surely there must be another forward lined up now , with Dom being out it doesnt fill me with confidence having just Tosun and an out of form Richy as back up.
Centre forward please Marcel.

I know what you mean but i'm not sure this really makes much difference to the situation. It seemed pretty clear that Simms wasn't really in the thinking at all, he hasn't even always made the bench we have 9 subs. I think they'd have played 4/5 different 'false 9s' before he got a game. I still hope someone comes in but I really doubt this makes any difference either way.

Yep
I can see both sides to it , the lad wasnt figuring so maybe not a loss.
But we are threadbare up front and maybe ( god forbid ) more injuries & suspensions we may have been forced to use the lad.
Looking at the benches/options of all the teams we are competing against , ours looks pitiful.
So hopefully there's a forward coming in.
