Ellis Simms admits he mustn’t “overthink” things too much as he continues to search for goals for Coventry City. The bustling centre-forward has just two to his name so far this season, both coming against QPR in September, but after making consecutive starts and cutting an imposing figure for the Sky Blues the player feels he’s getting closer to finding the back of the net.
“I have played the last two games so I am happy to be in the team,” said the summer signing from Everton. “I need to work hard to try and keep my place and the goals will come. As a collective, we are still winning games through goals from other positions. It is a team sport, so that is the main thing.”
He added: “But it’s definitely coming, I need to keep working hard and to not overthink things. We have good wide players creating a lot of chances. Same with our full-backs, so eventually something will drop and it will hit the net. I am sure it is a matter of time.”
Simms’ best chance came late in the first half against Southampton when played in by Tatsuhiro Sakamoto down the right.
City’s draw against Saints meant they have now earned 11 points from their last six games, sitting in mid-table six points off the bottom three and seven off the play-off places.
“A few weeks back we were going through a tricky spell, but I think we have got through that now and the last few results have been good,” said 22-year-old Simms.
“We have to just keep working hard in training and getting those three points, hopefully we will move up the table quickly.”
