Coventry City will hope Ellis Simms spark can damage West Brom: View.
Ellis Simms has been relatively quiet since his move to Coventry but an FA Cup hat-trick has put him in and amongst the goals again.
Ellis Simms’ season has finally hit the ground running after a relatively slow start to proceedings at Coventry City – and he will be hoping to use his strong form to down West Brom on what will be a tricky Friday night in Smethwick.
Simms was labelled as a huge talent in loan spells at Hearts and Blackpool where he pulled his weight enough to be recognised as one of Everton’s best young talents, though it was a loan outing at Sunderland last season that really put him on the Championship pedestal.
Firing on all cylinders in his trio of loan spells, Coventry were the club to take him permanently from Goodison Park – though it hasn’t quite gone his way this season. But a hat-trick in midweek has offered a revitalised outlook on his behalf – and Football League World takes a look as to how he could turn his form into a huge cutting edge for the Sky Blues.
Why Ellis Simms could use his recent form to down West Brom
Coventry are in a play-off battle once again and after sneaking into the top six last season with just a few games remaining, they’ll be hoping to do the same again this season by hoping that West Brom and Hull slip up in their defence of a top six place – which means that Friday’s game at home to the Baggies is crucial.
The Sky Blues are only four points off making the play-offs again and a win over Carlos Corberan’s side would cut that gap to a maximum of two points, regardless of results elsewhere involving fellow challengers Hull, Preston North End and Norwich.
