Danny Simpson (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Simpson seems to be the whipping boy of choice at the mo, but to be fair he played well yesterday. Not a great deal got down Wigan's left side.

I was less than impressed, I thought his positioning at times was poor contributing to a few of their dangerous breaks, but maybe being harsh.

 

You're not being harsh, you're being stupid.

 

The dangerous moves from Wigan were mainly down our left side, not the right where Simpson plays.  I've watched the full game again and Simpson was one of our better players and hardly put a foot wrong and put himself into tackles where he was hurt.

Yeah. Better, Santon's introduction last week giving him an incentive to perform?

 

Wish people would stop coming up with these ludicrous conclusions. Sunday he played against Spurs, yesterday he was up against a debutant in the worst team in the league.

Awful again tonight. Really hope that's the last we see of him for a long time. Hopefully it'll be Santon in at RB and Raylor LB on Monday night.

 

On top of his poor performance, he casually sauntered off the pitch when he was subbed off, even though we were 2-0 down at the time and chasing the game. Needless to say this wasn't very well received by the fans.

Was Santon any better?

 

By all accounts yes! Significantly! But rule of thumb is that new players normally are and criticised current players are always shit

So will we finally see Santon in for Simpson?  I doubt it.

 

Would be surprised if it's anything other than unchanged from Wigan for Stoke.

Yep.  Suicide, Simpson punts it long the majority of the time and Obertan loses the ball a lot.  We need to have a lot of possession in this game, playing these two won't help.

I dont rate Simpson and Guthrie but have to say Guthrie was our best player last night, the worst thing with Simpson he has the attributes to be a decent defender if he would stop backing off all the time, and was more composed on the ball!!

 

You learn not to back off when you play junior football and if he has not learned by now then he never will!!

 

The thing what frustrates me the most is when we lose the ball and he is out of position how he just jogs back after the winger! Also when a winger skins him why does he always wave his arms about as if its someone elses fault! :rant:

 

Ryan Taylor has played out of position all season and done well, can you imagine Simpson at left back when he is even struggling on the right at the min.

 

Santon has to start on Monday but doubt he will.

You are also taught as a kid not to dive in, don't go to ground and end up left on your arse as they get a clear run into the box. I think he gets some very harsh criticism on here, we have bigger issues other than Danny.

Lets worry more about our absolute lack of CB cover.
