Ellis Simms

Now that's been Taiwo or a mixture.

Sims, who will start because Taiwo is unfortunately suspended, which we'll come on to.

Is that a blessing for us? Probably.

But Sims has only played...

Or is it 69 minutes against Arsenal and 19 minutes against Man City? And it's probably manifested across those two, about a third of a goal of XG, of what was expected for him.

So he's not exactly the best substitute either.

Onyenka and Grimes, and I think Grimes is their captain, in the middle as the engine, as I like to talk about.

And then Mason Clark and Radoni as their two kind of 10 slash wingers.

Can Miles remind us who, when Tony Blair played for the Sky Blues? Oh, that was on Thursday, wasn't it? um we're all about andy blair's workshop and you said tony blair the prime minister i think oh we've lost miles lost connection um that's just another one uh villa much later having the 21 side that's paul stratton um finn says alan alan alan you know finn well yeah Evening, guys.

Where's the Sims today? That was unprofessional of Mr.

T doing that slight elbow.

Sims didn't do that.

Why are we changing most of the championship players that got us up last season? Thought Grimes looked like an old man on the pitch today.

Didn't touch the ball for the first 22 to 15 minutes.

And I think the Wolf's injured as well, isn't he? I think he is at the moment, yeah.

I think.

was a good hit.

I mean, that Ellis Simms shot, I was like,

come

on but um yeah i think like claudia says i think we need to be a hell of a lot place pace here i think rushworth has definitely got a proven point to prove against his old club um but yeah i i think we'll be fine we're just need to keep pressing keep that pressure on keep pressurizing because you can see here in man city as soon as we got that ball There was like three players around one of our players and they got the ball straight away.

Yeah.

But, I mean, I'm trying to think who we'd leave out.

The bench we had, Heyman, Latabodier, Sakamoto, Sims, Chowna, BTA, Torp, Urenchi.

So who do they come in for? Thomas Asante would be...

There's, you know, teams who are very physical, very organized, who will sort of...

You know, like Co- Coventry chucked Ellis Simms on, went even more direct, and it, you know, it, it sort of put City on the waltzers a little bit.

So again, yeah, it, it, it's what we're judging this against.

Against peak Guardiola, that Coventry game was not great at all.

Um, but I think there, there's green shoots there, and they should've got a draw.

Ellis Simms has a sitter.

Taiwo Awoniyi threw on goal, I must say.

Can I ask about-

Ellie Anderson was phenomenal here, but Coventry, they did have chances.

They will rue Ellis Simms' decision-making.

He had a close-range chance in that second half, and he decided instead, let me just thrash this off Donnarumma's sad face instead, which was a choice.

Um, their wait for a first Premier League goal goes on.

had some good chances.

Yeah, the Sims had the Sims.

At

nil-nil as well, Dave.

Sims.

Sims had a hell of a chance near the end at 1-0.

I saw a match of the day, just couldn't, well, we know it did everything, hit Donald Rummer in the face, didn't it? So Coventry, but yet to score.

I mean, Hull, Hull and Hull, yet to concede.

They feel like the one that was scraped in through the playoffs.

Ellis Simms.

They won the championship comfortably last season as well.

Brandon Thomas Asante.

I'll be like, oh, they're going to score you 10, 12 goals in the Premier League.

I

don't think the guys they've brought in are better than Haji Wright, Ellis Simms.

If I was Coventry, I'd be sticking with Thomas Asante and these guys.
