Frankly Perch is vastly superior both offensively and defensively. IMO when I have seen him play this season and last; he has more or less slotted into the positions he has been told to adopt with confidence and ability. Simpson has neither of these things with a ball at his feet. Perch is a decent premier league player. Simpson is very mediocre. He would tear up trees at full back; but has more of the pace, guile and intelligence needed to wo there effectively.

Try blamng that on the alsatian. Doesn't work I can vouch for that.

Signed a new contract three weeks ago. Anyway, players don't take notice of ambition etc apparently. Good job too. Signing contracts also counts for little with certain players. Can't think it bodes well of they finish outside where their lot expect/desire

How long do you reckon Suarez has left with them? If players of his ilk go by ambition; it doesn't bode brilliantly

Not so much set the window alight as thrown themselves out of it.

What about using some of the cash from this stadium name sponsorship...oh wait.

Simpson? Linkplay?

I've got no problem with his crosses really. They lack some finesse but balls we're being put in dangerous areas. I think if we had more legs in midfield then you would have found Ba getting onto some of those.

These are shit. Sorry Brummie. Should be a win. Not sure about a clean sheet.

Saved us some nail biting over that transfer. Onto the other crisis positions.

He beat his man numerous times, won a load of corners, nearly scored himself, whipped at least 4 or 5 balls into the six yard box. FFS man, some people. Aye. He caused no end of problems.

Latest highlights from tonight's game just in....

Thats it lad. Much better.

The Smith is dead. Long live the Smith!

The bit in the corner near the end when he was literally sweating at the thought of more than 2 touches and some trademark backing off. Fuming that we've not gone all out to improve.

We did boss it... until the linchperch went off and Pards refused to take Gosling the anti-perch off.

Gosling 1-0. 80 yard tap in.

Waiting for the token pointless 89th minte sub I see... allowing us to get bumraped for 5 minutes. Very astute.

Never underestimate the power of Perchstation.

Legs. Midfield. Now.

Aye with him and Willo in the same team they are like horcruxes.

OBE-BLITERATION!

Gosling is a complete passenger. Missing the composure of Perch and Destroy

Swapped a knee with Demba after he lost a bet to crack a smile. http://gifsoup.com/imager.php?id=113011&t=o Get well soon Ryan.

Could have stayed on his feet imo. 6 and 2 3's. If you can avoid sending a man off I'd take it though you could argue it was a blatant goal scoring opportunity. Meh. Not that controversial despite things.
