Ellis Simms believes his partnership with Ross Stewart is causing fear amongst Championship defences after the pair both got on the scoresheet against Blackburn Rovers on Boxing Day. Stewart's outing was his first start since August, with a thigh injury having kept him sidelined for a lengthy spell, while on-loan Everton man Simms also missed seven games with a toe problem.
But they have still scored 13 goals between them - seven in nines games for Stewart, and six in 16 for Simms - with ten of those scored when the strikers have operated as a pair.
"Ross is a fantastic player and with his workrate as well, any striker would be happy to play alongside him," said Simms, who came off the bench to score the winner against third-placed Rovers.
