Dave Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thank fuck for the one he saved off the line. Probably won us the game tbh, they were pressing at that point and had loads of time left. They needed a spark and that goal could well have been it. Looked like Krul was telling him that at the final whistle as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Horribly limited in possession and limited as a defender, but he's athletic and doesn't stop trying. It's that which sees him through games. If he was just a bit quicker i'd say he'd be worth sticking with but he does lack a bit of acceleration against really quick players, and given the rest of his limitations, i only hope we one day find another dirt cheap player who's better.

Guest Heneage Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Where has this player been for the last 17 games? Brilliant but slightly frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Was great tonight. A new full back would still be nice, but I really hope we hold onto Danny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love seeing the defensive unit giving each other a right screaming, man handling when one of them pulls off something quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Cracking perfomance from him, so much better than recent weeks. 2 goal line clearances against the team he supports Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Arguably his best performance for us tonight. Another goal-line clearance against Man U Now he just needs to play like this week in, week out. I guess having someone to help him out defensively contributed to him having a good game tonight. He is indeed this: Man Utd slayer. Happy Birthday Danny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Makes such a difference when the right winger isn't passing him the ball back everytime he gets it. Much more like it Simpson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 still like him replaced eventually, he's alright for now. like someone said before me, he's very limited on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Maybe instead of replacing him we should have him be our third choice GK? unbelievable block today, it was right in front of me and i honestly gave up hope on it being anything than a goal.

cubaricho Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Had a good game today (although so did everyone else) to be fair to him. He's getting a knack of clearing shots off the line too, which is always useful. Two best ones this season against his old club too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 He had his best game for us I think. Considering he took a lot of grief last week, he stepped up his game yesterday. Always tight to the man, not giving them an inch. Only made one positional mistake too where he left someone unmarked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I still have my doubts, especially with the backing off, but maybe the player in front of him has been a part of his problem. On that subject, 30 seconds into second half, three-on-three -> no midfield help for Jones -> semi-professional foul -> direct free kick -> goal. Better players than Simpson can struggle when exposed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Made amends for the Liverpool fiasco with his efforts last night, good display of his character. More of this type of player (mentally) in the squad and we won't go far wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Always maintained he's alright, and not as bad as some make out. Not great by any stretch of the imagination, but okay. I'd be content to see him stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Average/poor player, but incredible at getting back on the line. Has the most goal lince clearances in the league I believe? He was much improved against Man U, but still unconvinced by him. Just looks so unatural and scared when on the ball. If he did sign a new deal, I would want him as a squad player, but like that's going to happen with Ashley in charge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
