Branthwaite starting for Blackburn tonight

Experienced centre back Darragh Lenihan was out injured tonight, not sure for how long, hence Branthwaite starting. Hopefully he can prove he’s better than Harwood-Bellis who he played alongside tonight and hold onto his place

Have you read the Blackpool review of Simms? Shouldn’t be near our first XI, needs another year out on loan hopefully with Blackpool in the championship

Simms starts against Sunderland kicking off in 10 minutes. They have a few first team defenders out so Ellis may get a few good chances. Here's hoping for a few goals from the big lad. 
....not sure how that suggestion fits with his contract situation.
From what I saw of him at U23 level, he offers very little from a competitive or back to goal situation. Hopefully the loan move has helped him in that regard as he looked a long way from being a PL footballer. Fingers crossed.

Hope he does well again today like to see the lad back at Everton banging them in in the premiership soon.

Ooh, that’s right, he’s out of contract this year is he? I would simply point to Coleman and tell Simms to sign a contract with us as he does have a credible route into the first team.
if we consider the small’s criticism that he doesn’t see a route into the first team, having a few good loan spells is surely a critical aspect of how we convert U18 potential into genuine first team players
....not sure if he might have another year. If not, I’d be thinking the club are happy to release him. Let’s not forget, he wasn’t involved in squads when we really needed striker cover this season.

Think the Blackpool feedback explains that, however it does point to him adapting and showing some potential. I’d be disappointed if we didn’t manage to keep him, how many goals? Couple of tidy finishes for Blackpool, think he could be a decent player with a few more loans.
How many loans did Seamus have before he became a first team regular? Thought it was two seasons, with the first year being very mixed .
....I thought Coleman only went to Blackpool for a short spell and saw them through to the play-offs.

Not much happening at BR in the first half. Simms had a chance around the half hour mark after a good move but didn't net. Hoping for a HT turnaround talk from CrItch.
Coleman was a short time cover loan for a month in March of 2010 but stayed till the end of that season. And the glory that came with it.

Playing in high pressure matches like a play off final definitely made him a better player though.
....yep, he was terrific for them just as he’s been terrific for us. Top player, top professional, top bloke is Coleman.

Might have that wrong then, thought he had two spells. But my point being going on loan is a stepping stone to playing regular football for our club
