Thought you'd been warned off calling me names. You'll be getting a 7 dayer if you.re not careful mate.
Anyway, back to young Mr Simms. I think you're being a bit harsh on the lad.
Apart from a pre season tournament 18 months ago I've only seen the goal highlights for Simms. You are right to a degree Nymz. His size does give him an advantage at this age group but if you look at the goals he scores, not many are typical big centre forward goals. For a big guy he's very skilful on the floor, and for at least half of his goals this season (up until yesterday which I haven't seen yet) he's had to beat at least one player in the box before firing home. His finishing is also very accomplished. His size does make him look lethargic though and I've not seen that many goals where he's playing on the shoulder. But Edin Dzeko has shown that there is still room in the modern game for big strong old fashioned centre forward, especially one with a knack for scoring goals. 16 in 10 is not too shabby to be fair, at any level as Eggs rightly says.

Oh yeh I was being very high-level with my assessment; his finishing looks good and he does have the size/pace which are powerful combos but I dunno, I just get this really strong Brewster vibe from him. I'll catch him a few times in the U23's before I completely write him off. I just think Sambou would probably do the same in the U18's and I don't rate him whatsoever.

It seems defending is lacking in the U18s.

You could be right with the settled team thing. It is strange thought when we've done so well in the in the U18 PL that we couldn't make any impact in the youth cup.
Think last season was the biggest joke ever, sending 5/6 of our best U18 players to Cyprus to play the EL game the night before.

Sambou scores some worldies but he's just as likely to miss a 2 yarder. He's also 4 years older than Simms.
I know the age gap I’m just talking about the profile of the player. Much more excited about Adedoyin than Simms.
Adedoyin of course hasn’t played as many games due to injury, he appears to be less physical but sharper and more skilfull than Simms, time will tell .

It's infectious.
Didn't stand out for me when I saw him a couple weeks ago, but others that have seen him more than once will have a better idea of him!!
Tom Cannon - that name seemed familiar - he is the football professor who I argued about Kirkby with about a decade or so back.
Of course he could also grow at the same rate as his peers and be Drogba or Duncan

Wonder if Kenny, Holgate, Baningime and Dowell will play in tomorrows u23 game. Surely it would be beneficial from a match fitness point of view.
