Title: Sims
Post by: Arsenal Of The North on October 20, 2020, 09:01:35 pm
Just going to put this out here, if we keep him until the end of the season and keep him fit...... we’re playing championship football next season, he was a stand out tonight.

Totally agree, the lad is impressive and his quality is already showing.

Unplayable at times in the 2nd half. Also Whitman seems to always find him in space

Best sort of game, we win 4-1 and its really, really, hard to decide who was man of the match. My lad and I gave it to Sims in the end but could have been Whiteman or John. Everyone had a good game.

Am now officially totally over excited for the rest of this season....

I liked look of Smith when he got into the game, very busy and think he will compliment what we have already quite well in midfield.

Sims was phenomenal, but how good is Brad Halliday!

That was as good a performance as I've seen from us in years.

And Smith was my MoM. He's exactly the midfield terrier we've needed. Gives Gomes and Whiteman the space to hurt the opponents.

Actually Whiteman was MoM.

Or Halliday. Or John.

Maybe Gomes.

Anderson didn't put a foot wrong.

Though brad was excellent. Would have capped the night of if that shot had just dipped under the bar in the second half

That will have cemented the squad even more tonight and you have to feel happy for Feiji who will be boosted after two good back to back performances and that well struck goal .Hallyday ! What a terrier he is !

As good as the TEAM were, Ipswich were S@*&e, and I mean proper S@*&e..we even scored for em...

I can't make my mind up from that 90 mins, I was confident we would rip this league a new one before, but now :boxing:

Often's the case when a player was unplayable. Rare's the case when the whole team was unplayable. Tonight was one of those rare cases.

I couldn't pick a MOM. From Bursiks great distribution right through the team, they were all exceptional.

I think your all deluded.. we were no where near what you all seem to think... now let that sink in, and just imagine

No chance of picking a MoM out of that performance, I can just see Big Daz sat watching later on and purring to himself. Great game.

We have 2 flying wingers - Johnny Taylor was really good too tonight

Thought Sims was excellent between him and Whiteman for MOM

Come on Steve, I've been a fan for a fair few years, and not nearly as long as some on here, but that is nowhere near what the potential of this team can achieve.
It is a great result against a team that is going to be up there, but league one be aware, were gonna kick you in the knackers and score four past yer as your holding em!

Ruthless....

They weren't shite for the first 20 minutes. I thought we were going to get a proper towsing the way they started off. Slick, fast passing. Hard press. Getting the ball into dangerous areas.

Then we settled down and made them look shite.

This, from the Ipswich forum gets it.

"One Positive. For all that Doncaster outplayed us, ran rings around us and generally showed us how to it, there aren't many in this division as good as them."
Title: Re: Sims
Post by: RoversAlias on October 20, 2020, 11:29:14 pm
That's the key, we made them look "shite" to be honest. They started off good and were decent all the first half. In the second half, we forced the mistakes and made mincemeat of their defenders. Just far too good for them.

Josh Sims is way too good for this league. How on earth has Darren Moore got him to come to Doncaster?

Ipswich are a good team no doubt and their fans shouldn't be beating themselves up over this result.

The game was in the balance going into the second half. The reason we came out on top in my view is that we worked really hard to earn it, showing great discipline in our shape, making it extremely difficult for Ipswich and then pressing and springing forward quickly.

Notice we didn't give many cheap free kicks away either, not handing the initiative back to them. We forced them into errors and for once, we punished them rather than letting them off the hook which we have done previously.

Yes, I thought Sims had a good home debut, getting better as the game progressed, as did Smith. Sims certainly has great pace and is quick off the mark anticipating possible errors from their back line. Will be interesting to see how he develops even further.

I saw one fan say the only positive was Kayden Jackson’s COVID-19 test

Ahh didn't see the first 30 mins, I was caught out by the 7pm kick off - I still feel it was a very strange watch, played with a languid preseason style at times..which when you think about that, you have to wonder how good can they be.

If Sims has the chance of a medal or a promotion on his cv he might prefer to stay here for the season rather than take his chance with a loan to a Championship club.
