A connection with Adkins from his time at Southampton (which might be how the rumour was created!)
Incorrect. Adkins was not at Southampton when Sims was with the Saints.
He was when Sims was in the youth, I assume he's at least familiar with Adkins as he seems to have a strong focus on bringing players through. Good player, young, would be pleased with him.
Adkins would definitely have taken a keen interest in the academy, even those in the junior age ranges

Looks like Sims was about 16 when Adkins left Southampton so he'll definitely know of him. Don't believe there's any relevance there at all though, just because Sims was a decent 16 year old at Southampton doesn't mean he'd be right for a League 1 club now.

He was on loan at Doncaster last season, 1 goal and 8 assists in 28 games. Didn't play in either of the games against us, can play on both wings.
Comments on Twitter already asking why aren’t we in for Pigott etc? Who says we aren’t? The club is doing their business quietly and that’s fine by me.
Where did you see this? I can’t see it anywhere on Twitter.
It's on the other forum, from an unnamed source. The guy couldn't even say it was Josh Sims out of respect for his source, but curiously was able to say a number of clues which meant it had to be Josh Sims.

been said on here a number of times that Piggott himself has said that he wouldn't come back. IIRC it was more to do with how he was treated under Duchatalet, but even so, sometimes when you leave on bad terms you don't ever want to return, no matter who might now be in charge.
Wholly trust the process and the people who are running it, and whatever will be will be, but I would be a bit disappointed if Pigott went to another league one club. I would love him back here. I am aware that we will lose out to most championship clubs.
I think Sims would be a good signing too and is exactly the kind of player I think we're looking at.
Think you can write off the second half of Donny's season last year a little.

Good signing for Ipswich. However am I right that they have been promoted to The Championship already seeing as those ITK insisted that was where he was going.

1) Somebody speculated about an ex-Southampton player, who was 14 years old when Adkins was their manager.
2) Jonny Williams is 'training' in Ibiza with Ibe and Mullin.
3) "Ryanair to Dubai don't bare thinking about"
Josh Sims on the wing with DJ on the other is a good start.
wld be the perfect aneke replacement
they have norwood and bonne aswell so could say the same for them
After that had 2 assists in total for the rest of the season.
I agree. If he came here then Stockley would likely be back up to him. Sounds good to me.
I reckon we leave this one as its a non-starter
