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...
Dinho lad Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Don't know why it takes us to bring someone-in to challenge for his position to get improvement out of him. Credit where it's due though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Felt more confident with him than Debuchy today. Also, while of course it's what happens on pitch that counts most but do appreciate him coming to fans like he did at the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt 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. I wouldn't let Debuchy back in the team next week. Simpson was decent today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthyaddiction Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 It's a shame he's going really. I wouldn't mind so much if we had a talented young right back coming through but we don't really seem to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Always gave his all for the shirt, and for that he gets my respect. Decent enough defender, but as a footballer he's one of the worst I've ever seen. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Swiss lad is meant to be ok for RB, quite highly rated too. Not anywhere near ready yet though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Always gave his all for the shirt He's one of the most spineless players I've ever seen for us. Always hiding and blaming others. Hope he signs for another PL club so we can see Atam running at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
