Skeletor Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Have to say, if Santon comes in for Simpson it won't be long until a few are calling for Simpson to get back in the side over Raylor. But on form Taylor should keep his place and Simpson shouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 he's in the side on merit atm other than a shaky game at QPR and Arsenal he's been solid to good in every other game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Was excellent today, in all honesty. Had a perfect view of the FK, and I don't think he could have hit it much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Doing well, obviously a run of games has brought better form out of him than we've seen from bit parts in the past, but still, wouldn't want to do a full season with him in the XI. Not the complete liability Perch or Smith is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I can't believe that people think he was excellent today. He was as weak as piss for the 2nd goal and Jonas was our best left back in the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be, I also forgot that he almost burried one into Kruls top corner, I thought that it was going in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on form Taylor should keep his place and Simpson shouldn't. Never said any different My point is, those that slag off Simpson every game will have to turn their attentions elsewhere and as Raylor becomes the weak link in the defence it will be him.

Agree with the first part of your post but at the minute, Taylor is playing well and deserves to be in the side. Simpson on the other hand has been terrible for a good length of time now. I don't think people go overboard with Simpson either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Simpson is a better natural defender but Ryan Taylor's outperformed him nearly every week this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I thought Taylor had a very good game today. Did better than Simpson. His delivery was decent and he forced a top save from Friedel with the free kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 24% of teams have him in the Premier League Fantasy Football game. Is he down as a defender? Yeah, I think so. That's part of the appeal - other fans probably still think of him as a midfielder and have seen those free kicks he's scored this season. It's the same reason I have Jon Walters in my fantasy team, because he's classed as a midfielder but he plays up front for Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more to do with what we have. We don't have many good options at fullback and at the moment Simpson is well below par and Raylor is punching above his weight out of position. Until we buy a right or left back so that we can play Santon and someone good on the other side it will always be this way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
