Ronaldo Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I must say, since Debuchy came in he's generally given a very good account of himself, in addition to showing a good attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing he isn't an automatic choice even if he plays badly helps, having a rival does make you better 99% of the time. And to his credit he has shown he isn't sulking.

durhamunigeordie Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Agree, he has done reasonably well. Would be happy for him to stay as back-up RB but a) I'd be surprised if he was keen (and can't really blame him for that) and b) not sure our management staff would be so keen - they'd rather have the likes of Perch and Anita who can cover a few positions.

Mole_Toonfan Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I have been impressed with his performances since Debuchy came in, sure he's limited but i would like to see him stay if for nothing but squad reasons. He doesn't seem to want to fight for his spot long term though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Moody Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'd be happy if he was churning out performances like his last few as a squad player, but can't see him staying. He'd have signed a contract by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't seem to want to fight for his spot long term though. Well i would think seeing Debuchy come in, who is a superior player in every department. I dont blame him for wanting to get 1st team football. I would rather drop a league and play than be a back up at his age. I've been impressed with his attitude, he could have sulked but he reacted in a professional way, which is to his credit, very much so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither do i tbh, perhaps a bit selfish on my part as he's a capable back up but like with Guthrie i can see why he wants to leave but almost wish he didn't.

Kanj Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'd want him to stay from a footballing aspect, but always find him to be such an arrogant guy in the media and such. He seems to have the right attitude when it comes to us though. Ideally, I'd love another Haidara type signing for the right back position as it suits us in the long run much better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Been alreet since he came back into the fold. Would happily keep him as a backup right-back, but I don't think it's a. possible or b. financially viable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 He didn't impress me last night. It was him who lost the defender that put Krul under pressure, later on he put himself under unnecessary pressure and kicked out for a throw in to them instead of passing it to someone else. Any positive performances from him are purely down to him needing to find a club at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 He's playing for a contract, not that I mind as its to the benefit of the team of course. Totally different Simpson to that which played the first half of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hatem garrincha Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Danny, like his partners in defense, was good today. He suffered against Jarvis in the second half but played Ok overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 He's a serviceable RB, could certainly do worse for a back-up. Hope he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 At the higher end of his performance level today. Still offers nothing going forward and was given a tough time by Jarvis (and Joe Cole to a lesser extent). Looking forward to having Debuchy back next week.

Tooj Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Done well today. Good squad member to have, but I don't think he sees himself as a back-up. Don't know if it's just me but his attitude and effort seems to have improved since not being guaranteed a start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Defensively seems a better option than Debuchy ATM, not sure what I'd do next week, one thing is for sure we need some pace at LB to keep Remy and Townsend quiet, their main threats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Obviously realising that there's a massive chance of him being first choice fullback again next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I've always said that we should keep him and I'll not change my mind, we could do a lot worse than him as back-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 There's some incredibly silly things been said about him whilst he's been here. Of course it's true that when he has a ball at his feet, he's atrocious but there's so many posts on here about him being an appalling defender which is quite blatantly not true. Some defenders are better at tracking, tackling, interceptions, that's all true but Simpson's strength (apart from kicking off the line) is standing where he's supposed to. His positioning is consistently good and furthermore, sometimes his weakness with the ball is his strength - how many times have we seen Santon try and bring the ball down in his own box and cost us a goal? Simpson knows he's simply not capable so when in doubt, will always put it out for a corner. Our problem against Liverpool was a horrendous defensive line and because of that, I had absolutely no question that Simpson would make us more solid (although obviously moreso Coloccini).

TRon Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Well done Danny lad. He might be limited but I was quite relieved to see him starting today tbh. Whatever else he might lack you know he'll not be found short on courage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Been decent in his role as a back up. Should be kept on as a back up, if he'll take back up wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
