Punk77 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Absolutely rubbish yesterday..Not able to pass the ball at all, and generally crappy defending. Time to move Raylor from left to right back..Cannot be worse than Simpson in defense, and he's way better than Simpson in attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 He was worryingly shit last night. He's regressed as a footballer. Scared of the ball, constant hoofs to nobody in particular, mistimed headers and out of position for most of their attacks. Oh and he's shit going forward. R.Taylor to right back when/if we get a new left back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mofo Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Becoming more concerned by our right back position than I am of our left by the game... Was woeful at Darlington and Leeds also... Simpson's ok man not great but he will do a decent job, just as he did last season.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Not at all convinced by him. If he dones't show progress this season, he should be sold or become second choice RB (to a new player). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/newcastle-defenders-joy-as-baby-daughter-wins-fight-2344582.html Newcastle defender's joy as baby daughter wins fight Danny Simpson's little girl was born six weeks early – weighing just 3lb – but is getting stronger by the day By Jason Mellor Saturday, 27 August 2011 In a hospital ward in the shadow of St James' Park, a battle is being fought, and a battle is being won. It is an intensely personal story of triumph over adversity, one to eclipse anything that could ever be achieved on the Gallowgate, even here, where many concur with Bill Shankly's thoughts on football, life and death. The existence of the average Premier League player would seem to revolve around a comfortably familiar routine of playing, training and using their plentiful disposable income to boost the profits of Nando's. Up until recently, Danny Simpson fitted that description to a tee, but not any longer. Portuguese-style flame-grilled chicken somewhat loses its charm when there is a daily bedside vigil to be maintained. The Newcastle defender's life turned upside down at the end of July, when his daughter was born six weeks prematurely. Skye-Lorena weighed just three and a half pounds. She remains at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, a goal-kick from the city's footballing cathedral, where she is being cared for after her unscheduled entry into the world. She is now up to five pounds and making good progress, and the worst, thankfully, is over. Such has been her progress, Simpson and his partner, Steph, hope to have their little fighter back home early next month. Skye's nursery at home has been ready for weeks; Simpson saw to that in what has been an emotionally draining chapter in the 24-year-old's life. While it seems trite to talk about keeping things in perspective, that's exactly what it has done. Simpson remains as focused as ever on the pitch, even though the last four weeks have helped him see football for the glorious distraction that it really is. "It was a very difficult time for us when she arrived so early," he admitted. "Hopefully, we're through the worst of it, and the staff at the RVI have been brilliant. Thankfully, Skye's putting on weight and is up to five pounds three ounces and getting stronger all the time. She's doing really well and, hopefully, she'll be home in a week or so." His daughter's unexpected arrival meant Simpson – on his way back from the club's pre-season tour of the United States – missed the birth. Still, his predicament, some 30,000 feet over the Atlantic, at least helped the couple to settle on a name. "I was literally up in the sky when she was born," the former Manchester United defender revealed. "It was the longest eight-and-a-half-hour flight of my life. That's why she's called Skye-Lorena. We came up with the name the night I saw her." It's fortunate he had not already landed – Heathrow Simpson might take some getting used to. "It was the proudest day of my life when she was born," he added. "It's amazing how your mentality changes once you become a parent. It's just completely different to anything you've been used to. Changing a nappy for the first time was a real experience, but it was nice watching Match of the Day with my little girl in my arms. I've put together all the furniture in Skye's nursery, it's ready for her to come home." Newcastle host Fulham tomorrow aiming to extend their unbeaten start. "During the games, of course I want to win badly, but straight after I turn into a family man. I'll ring the hospital to make sure everything is OK. "I now have a family to look after and I've had to become very strong for them. Usually, your life revolves around training, playing games and seeing your mates." And, let us not forget, that Nando's season ticket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Seems a genuine bloke, although a limited footballer. I'd keep him, can only improve surely? I like him. Just wish he wouldn't back off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 He must be going through a nightmare and it has to be getting in the way of his game. It's bad enough when the baby is born healthy, it must be terrible when things aren't right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Simpson was shocking against Scunthorpe I think the reason he looked good last season was that he replaced James Perch who was an absolute car crash at right back, so Simpson naturally looked mint after replacing him His game is very limited though, if he was brilliant defensively then you could probably overlook the fact he shits his shorts when he has the ball whilst going forward BUT his defensive game is nowt special Next to no chance of us signing a right back so would not mind seeing what Tavernier can do at right back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brilliant under Hughton, when he left his form dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 After watching him lately, he seems like a hoofer. He's an okay mediocre player wich lacks something as he defo got the speed to come more forward when needed too. But there is something about him wich makes me believe Taylor fits more into the new kind of play. More calm on the ball as of experience. Got a decent delivery when going forward, might even say one of the better ones at the club. Even when taylor lacks the pace to do so, he is more comfortable with the ball at his feet to actually bypass a defender to get the cross in. And he also offers something from set pieces wich is a huge bonus. Those things makes me choose Raylor ahead of Simpson at this moment of time.

Fenham Mag Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Need some time out. It sounds like he is going through some personal issues with his daughter and it seems to be affecting him. He showed in patches last season he is a good RB (i mean people were saying he should get called-up for England). Play Raylor at RB until he has sorted himself out.
