In a 3-1 victory over the R’s, Coventry City’s striker scored twice. Over the summer, the Sky Blues rushed in to sign him.

Simms, 22, has so far had to practice patience in his goal-seeking process. He will be hoping that his victory over the Hoops would boost his confidence at this point.

According to Robins, “He’s got high potential and he’s definitely not the finished article,” as quoted by Coventry Live. He scored an extremely fantastic goal for Everton last season against Chelsea.

He is incredibly capable and has everything. Additionally, there are instances when it’s just a matter of being familiar with the game and feeling at ease with how he plays, rather than attempting to mold him into the person you want him to be. Instead, work within his comfort zone and skills while pushing him to improve and do things he wouldn’t otherwise.

But confidence and experience are both necessary for it.

Confidence boost for Coventry man

After Viktor Gyokeres left for Sporting Lisbon in the most recent transfer window, Simms had large shoes to fill at Coventry.

Before signing with former club Everton as a youth in 2017, he had contracts with Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers. The Oldham-born player later played 12 times for the Toffees’ first squad and contributed one goal.

For loan stints at Blackpool, Hearts, and Sunderland, the striker departed Goodison Park to gain experience. In the previous season, he was popular with them and scored seven goals in 17 games before being summoned back.
