If Sims isn't here next year we are definitely going to miss his defensive efforts, some massive hits last night.

When he's 1st man in, more often than 3rd and the occasional 2nd... I'll agree with you too.

Are you saying Sims is a lazy defender ? I suggest you watch the game from friday again , or any other game Ash has played in the Primrose and Blue. Poor fella gets bagged by absolutely everyone who has never pulled a pair of boots on .

Sims gets bagged by the same one poster on here.....

the rest of us can see his defensive efforts....In particular his last ditch tackling I find exceptional ...
the ability to pull down players making a half break one handed has saved us plenty of times. Thats a tackle. however so is Andre Savelio flopping on top of three other prone players.....

you see what you want to I guess and the stats say both are an equal tackle.

as you say Sims is not a Lazy defender probably works harder than anyone else in the team.

No I did not say that.
Sims has been arguably the best talker, motivation and praise in the squad during his time...
Sims was the best forward vs Wigan easily, I don't need to watch a tv re-run, I was there. I'm not shy to give praise where it's deserved.

However...
I also have a long memory. One hot day doesn't make an Indian summer.

At this moment...my gripe isn't Sims....it's the untouchable...Hill.
He's a frigging liability this season.
