Danny Simpson (now retired)

Mind, once he and Coloccini return to full fitness - it'll be good to have a settled backline again. Clutching at straws - cos i don't want Simpson anywhere near the side - but continuity at the back is pretty vital.

 

Plus i'm fucking dying to see the end of that painful set piece to Williamson.

 

That's all assuming STaylor's injury is minor.

Was abysmal.  Harper just as bad, Krul would have saved those goals easily.

 

Copy and paste this and wait for Sunday if it goes tits up :lol:

The gulf in class between himself and a young kid like Ferguson on the other side is laughable. It was no more than a training match for most of the 2nd half and he still somehow managed to either give it to Steve Harper or one of their players with alarming frequency.

What's he doing saluting the cross field balls before they get to him?

 

I think it's something to with judging the distance so he can control it, that's a total guess though.

 

He had a good game tonight to be fair, solid defensively.

Thought he played well tonight - defensively solid, the fact he doesn't offer much going forward is less of an issue when you have a dynamic left side like we had with Fergie and Oberwanktan tonight.

Pardew took the time to say this in his programme notes:

 

"Danny Simpson is also back in contention after a spell on the sidelines with injury and, as is often the case with good players, their importance to the side is only fully appreciated in their absence.

Dangerous wingers on the opposition team tend to have a quiet game when Danny is at his best, so it will be good to get him back on board"

Whilst I like the look of Ferguson, I don't think it was the game to pitch him in at full back. Would much rather have had Simpson/Santon at full back.
