Mistle17 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The lad was at fault for their goal like. Like some people have said, the yellow card really affected him. He essentially bottled it when it came to challenging Buckley. By doing so, it exposed our right hand side which gave Buckley so much space to run into. Thought he put in a few decent balls today in the first half but really his performance was well below-par (he really did completely trail off as soon as he got that undeserved yellow card). Nope. He was a liability before he picked it up and he was a liability whilst carrying the booking. It's debatable whether it was a yellow card, but it was a needless tackle to make and therefore he put himself in a vulnerable position. And besides, he would have bottled it anyway. It is so glaringly obvious how shit this guy is yet he still gets a game ahead of Perch, Raylor and Tavernier. How many more games does Pardew want him to cost us before ditching him?

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 He had an odd game. He seemed to see the ball much, much more than anyone else. Undecided about the lad really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've said, thought he put in a few decent balls today in the first half but really his performance was well below-par. His attacking play really lets him down tbh. If he actually bombed down the wing à la Santon, then we would have a great RB on our hands. As it stands, I would put him down as a just about (not by much) above-average RB.

Guest Rey Mysterio Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 He can't defend either though. Which is why Ryan Taylor should be ahead of him in the pecking order every single time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It was not a yellow card, won the ball BUT if being on a yellow meant he was going to bottle any challenge then he might as well have asked to be substituted. There was no excuse for him not putting a challenge in and then then lack of effort to try and get back He had a rubbish game BUT he was not alone in that regards Simpson is a limited player, that much is clear. At best he will put in a decent performance defensively BUT he offers nothing going forward, can't control a ball, can't pass, can't cross, can't take people on etc etc - just long aimless punts, one after another Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpeth mag Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It was a yellow card because the refs have been told to clamp down on any lunge tackles. He was just angry as he'd mis controlled it. If he hadn't got the ball cleanly he'd have been off. When we have everyone fit RB is the biggest weakness of the team. I wonder if he will try Ferguson at LB and switch Santon to the right? Makes offensive sense but as our success this season has been built on a tight defence and scoring the first goal I'm not sure Pards will go this far.

Tsunami Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Can't blame him for not making a challenge, can blame him for getting into a position where he could not make the challenge; he got caught in 2 minds and that was that. We still shouldn't have conceded the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 He was in a lose-lose. If he bottles the challenge, he gets criticised for lack of effort etc. If he makes the challenge, he gets sent off and criticised for making the challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he bottles the challenge, he gets criticised for lack of effort etc. If he makes the challenge, he gets sent off and criticised for making the challenge. I'd rather he'd seen red to be honest. I don't think given time left, Brighton had the nous or bite to finish us off. As it was the midfield and right flank was left like an open door and a hard but aimless, shot ended up going in off a defender in the box, which is always more likely to happen if allowed respect like that. The above is moot anyway. He's shown consistently now that he is not good enough to a permenant fixure at RB at this level. Take away his athleticism and generally commendable professionalism and theres not much left to suppost his case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I think he is weak mentally when ever he makes a mistake his head drops massively. We saw this yesterday and the other example that sticks in my mind is Anfield. He made the free kick clanger and then he might as well not have been on the pitch as his head was gone after that incident, allowing that lot free reign down our right hand side.

hakka Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 At least with Danny Simpson he does have some good games with us. Our problem yesterday was at the other end of the pitch. Letting in one is fine, it can happen against the best. The fact we couldn't score against Brighton was the killer aspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Just been reading through his tweets. Nice to see him passing the buck for his error onto his team mates once again. Maybe if he started taking responsibility for his own mistakes he might actually improve as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Footballing ability and insults are similar then. Who uses 'egg' as a comeback :lol: The bloke is a poor player, I keep saying I'd happily keep him as back up, but I'm starting to think even that is pointless. If we fetched in a left back or right back in the summer, got a centre back in that could cover full back at a push, I would defo sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR15 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Literally held both hands up as the brighton player shot passed him with ease to create their winning goal. He needs to stop calling people eggs, and creating apps that are £0.69, and focus more on becoming a professional footballer for a club paying him thousands PW (Which he spends on tattoo sleeves) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
