Guest BooBoo Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Current defenders for the start of the season: Enrique, Colo, S Taylor, R Taylor, Williamson, Kadar. To be fair we have a couple of good quality defenders but a few injuries and we'll be up the creek quicker than you can say Derby County. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Tend to agree with TT. Unless I missed something Hughton has only ever considered Ryan at right back. Unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I don't massively rate Simpson, but I think he could turn out to be better with time. As people have said, his main weakness is letting players come inside and shoot, and also a bit dodgy knowing when to stand off and when to tackle. Those could be addressed by coaches. All RBs are shit anyway, it's a well known fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 He'll improve, no doubt. Shame it has to be on our time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he had a few when he first came in to the squad, but since his first season here I'd say less than 5, and that for me means he's not a RB while peoples opinion of him playing RB are based on an emerging player with no fear, no pressure and no expectation. He's now in a team which couldn't afford to carry a player out of position, never mind what relegating him to a position he doesn't like in the last year of his contract would do to his position at the club. (though i understand that's not really being debated) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Didn't S Taylor play right back in the run in to the relegation season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I saw this thread and thought I'd just jump in without reading anything, just to make the point I make all the time, for no reason in particular: Danny Simpson is fucking shite.

David28 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Might be a reason for Simpson's poor perfomances that he was carrying and injury, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 He contantly let players come in on their stronger side because of an injury? Yeah, i'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Didn't S Taylor play right back in the run in to the relegation season? He did aye, probably the best he's played for us as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 He's average. Not shite, not good, just a bland full back who's got no real striking features. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 He contantly let players come in on their stronger side because of an injury? Yeah, i'm sure. Probably? I don't know. Never played through an injury myself. But I could imagine that if you aren't able to run free of pain you can't be at your best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a persistent, and perhaps petty point to make, but if injury is an excuse for him being shite, then he must have been injured for his whole time here.

It's a bit of a persistent, and perhaps petty point to make, but if injury is an excuse for him being shite, then he must have been injured for his whole time here. If I remember correctly, many on here started to say that he does well as right back and that he could develop into a decent RB at the start of the season. At the end of the season he was pretty much the worst player (well, probably behind Butt) in the eyes of many here. Don't know how long he was carrying that injury tbh. But I try to keep some hope alive that he will make a good defender because I don't really think that we will sign somebody who's better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, but replacing him and getting a striker is priority imo. I don't think CH sees it the same way though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
