Mark Robins, the manager of Coventry City, is highly optimistic about the potential of Ellis Simms, describing him as a future “absolutely awesome” striker for the club. Despite a slow start to the season after his summer signing from Everton, Simms has found his form recently, scoring eight goals in his last six games, including consecutive hat-tricks in home matches at the CBS Arena.
Robins expressed great satisfaction with Simms’ performance against Rotherham United, describing his hat-trick as “perfect” and hoping it will boost his confidence for future matches. He emphasized Simms’ ability to finish with both feet and highlighted his pace and strength as significant assets.
However, Robins also noted instances where Simms could improve, referencing missed opportunities in previous matches such as the game against West Brom. He suggested that Simms sometimes rushes his shots and could benefit from taking more time to compose himself in front of goal.
Overall, Robins is impressed by Simms’ potential and believes that once he fully realizes his strengths and refines certain aspects of his game, he will become a formidable player for Coventry City.
