London Blue Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 He runs towards goal with the ball, he looks for space when out of position, he makes smart runs, and most importantly he makes decisive finishes. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of those are just sort of scuttling them over the line. I trust management based on the players they’ve brought in so if they think he’s best for the club right now then full support. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Tiger Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Two minds about this one. On one hand, he's too old for me to be considering whether he's ready for a step up to prem. That said, at this point I'll take almost anyone that provides us coverage. I'm a no if it's a transfer, especially one with any material fee. But a one year loan with the wages he's on, seems like a reasonable play to get some depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see many Championship clubs loaning up to the Prem. Would certainly involve a transfer and a fee. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 seems pretty pacey and not afraid to run forward outpacing defenders with the ball. Got to say, dog shite goalkeeping for some of those goals! Based on that I'm not surprised Mitrovic scored 400 goals or however many it was last season! He'd fit in pretty well with our fast counter attacking that we've been successful when actioned right over the last couple of years but only 1 header in there and not much set up utilising wing backs which seems to be more where we're going at the moment.

Bailey Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Whilst I do think you can crab at the goalkeeping and defending in a lot of those goals, I don't think he is without some promise. He might not be the quickest but he isn't slow. He has a bit of physicality about him too. He also looks like he reads the game well, makes some really smart and well timed runs and links the play nicely. Unless there is also a video of him missing loads of sitters, he also seems pretty composed in front of goal too. Looking at his basic stats he also seems to have a decent goal scoring record and assist record wherever he has played, albeit clearly at a much lower level. He is the type of guy you can take a punt on at the right price and see if he can adapt. If he doesn't, you can sell him back down the leagues for a decent enough price too because there will be others willing to take a chance on him with that record.

FairWooney Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 looks to have decent pace, gets in good spots in the box and can finish well. Also a few goals where he showed good strength holding off the defender. A few that I saw were very much championship level fails by keeper or defenders but he took his chances. Seems to link up well as well, quite often involved in the build up then gets himself in the right spot. None of their goals that I watched were crosses which is maybe contrary to how we've played with DCL. Coventry appear to play on the break quite a bit with fast pace attacks (just how we have had success in the past but then revert away from it!). for the price he's worth a go.

Players can be registered for three clubs in one season but they can only play for two unless there is an overlapping season (not relevant in this situation. So we were both right and yes our recruitment department are that shit... Albeit I imagine it is because they have no intention of letting Simms leave again, which would mean they aren't shit at all.
