Everton U18 v Brighton u18 is live now on YouTube 20 minutes played and 2 nil up.

Playing some very good football, Simms scored his 28th goal of the season, to make it 2 nil.

I'd have Simms given a run out for our 1st team.

Not just a goal scorer he holds the ball up well and some nice layoffs, certainly one to watch out for along with Hornby for the u23s.

Simms got called up to the u23s for a game scoring on his debut, he has gone back in the u18 team, but will not be surprised if he starts for the u23s next season.

Seems we got him from the Man City youth team last season, certainly worth a run out, seems better than Calvert Lewin at hold up play, taking players on, and scoring goals, along with Hornby, we seem to have 2 decent strikers, just a case of giving them a go, Rashford got his chance and look at him now, so why not these two.

Certainly better than our current strikers in the first team.

why the rush, let the lad develop in the 18s this year 23s next year or maybe a loan in lower leagues, why the rush to play him, let him have a couple of bad games and be destroyed by our toxic fanbase? let the lad grow and give him time.

Not a case of rush, we are struggling with our strikers, why not give the guys a cameo role or two, why pay out top whack for a striker, if you already have the potential here.

Give the lads experience, we seem to have done alright letting a young joe Royle and acolin Harvey a run out in their teens.

You’d be quick enough to slate him if he had a game and didn’t perform. Everton fans are ridiculous for scrutinising players.

Whether Barkley, Stones, Davies or Kenny, I can say hand on heart I have never slated any of those players, I hear where you are coming from from certain fans, but my opinion is, if they are good enough, give them a chance, rather than wrapping them in cotton wool and loaning out, season after season, then offloading them.

Brands is talking about a player he would have tomorrow off PSV, the lad is 16 years old and already playing in the first team.

They will learn so much more playing alongside experienced players, the likes of Simms, Hornby, Gordon and Feeney could follow in the footsteps of Kenny and Davies.

It’s all about giving these youngsters a chance.

If you’re good enough, you’re old enough.

Saying that, one or two bad performances and the boo boys would anihalate a young player, setting him back years.
