Thats a pretty embarrassing result considering the amount of players who have been in, or around our first team squad.

Lewis, Valery, Ramsay, Vokins, Slattery, Hesketh & Tella all pretty experienced at that level and should be expected to do better.

Another player moving from my 1st team to my 2nd.

Joining the illustrious Southampton to Doncaster pipeline with other talented names including; Jason Euell, Oscar Gobern, Simon Gillett and Billy Sharp.

Sims is an oddity, to go from a very promising player who looked at ease against PL opposition at a young age, to then suddenly disappear and then re-emerge on loan to MLS and League One teams. Something seems to have gone wrong there me thinks.

I don’t think Sims ever really looked at ease against Prem opposition really. I think he had a moment against Everton, the break away at Anfield and a good half against Spurs.we all got a bit excited because he was an academy youngster.

Nasty knee injury. Succession of poor managers. He, like many others, have suffered from that.

He's no Sam Gallagher.
