Danny Simpson (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Someone else said in the match thread - at times it looks like he wishes he wasn't out there.

 

It's why he spends more time appealing for decisions, than playing the game. Nice left-footed cross though. Really not happy with him at RB. :huff:

He actually played very well in parts, and if you didn't watch him every week, you'd probably think he was good.

 

The issue is, when you do watch him every week, you just know he's a liability at some point in every game. So much came down his side today it was embarrassing.

 

Granted, he'll not play a Bale every week but he's out stand out weakness and we've got to shuffle him out sooner rather than later.

f***ing liability again.

 

Hasn't a clue where he should be on the pitch, their equaliser (although offside) was down to him being miles out of position.

 

Get rid and play Harper there if we don't sign anyone, he would do a better job.

 

What garbage.

 

Educate me as to where i am wrong excluding the sarcastic part.

 

In fact watch the goal again and tell me where he was in the lead up?

Think people are just frustrated that he's still the best RB we have.

 

He's by far and away the weakest link in our best eleven, it'll be very annoying if we don't replace him before the window closes.

 

Was a standard Simpson performance today. Didn't do anything particularly awful, but he's just not good enough IMO.

if that is the worst thing we can say about the weakest player in our first XI, then we are fucking lucky. its the first time since i've been a fan that the worst player in our team is still good at his job, if not spectacular. Thats why I like Simpson.

Nice to have a lot of balanced comments, seems with a few there HAS to be one player to slate and with a team full of likeable characters Simpson being quite the confident chap he gets the stick.

No doubt I'm in the minority but I thought he was OK and helped us win the game.

 

Agreed, slightly. This was a typical average Simposn type performance. Extremely iffy on the ball mind, especially bringing it out.

He wasn't nearly as bad as some are making out. He definitely had a hard time of it against Bale early on but did better as the game went on imo. We should be looking for a replacement as he is the weakest player in our first XI, but until we do he's certainly capable of playing the position.

Wasn't terrible. Played well in the majority but it was more of the same from him, poor positioning for the goal and weak offensively.

 

We would get by fine with him there should we need to but if we want to improve then he needs to be replaced.

I agree. Not deserving of the disproportionate amount of criticism he receives. Bale was pretty ineffective all day.

 

We start to win football games and challenge the top teams and all of sudden Simpson is expected to be Ashley Cole going forward.
