Disco Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Getting a bit sick of this lad now tbh. The right winger gets no help whatsoever. Thnk if we played a traditional RW then he'd be better but when we are so lopsided it highlights his weaknesses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 He's very limited going forward but a fairly important part of the best defence in the Championship. Gets caught out of position far too much for my liking. Needs to work on his closing down too as he never seems to get close enough to the player he's meant to be marking.

Jayson Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 A good player from everything ive seen. Id prefer for him to overlap the winger more. Same with Enrique though, even hes been doing that less. He does atleast drive fowards still though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Getting a bit sick of this lad now tbh. The right winger gets no help whatsoever. Yep. He's cheap but whether he's actually going to be much use in the premier is starting to look doubtful. Another Guthrie type of signing probably.

Guest Rey Mysterio Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Shite. Get rid ASAP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 s****. Get rid ASAP And replace with who ey? He's absolutely fine for this level and wants to be here. I'd be happy with him as back-up in the premiership as well. He's nothing spectacular in any way but he's tidy enough on the ball. A good manager could really improve him.

Wullie Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'd rather see ryan taylor there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'd rather see ryan taylor there. Yeah me too. Simpson's been poor the last month imo. I know he's been part of this "strongest defence in the league", etc. but you can see the qualities and performances Enrique, Taylor & Coloccini have been putting in, can't say the same about Simpson imo. If we loan him until the end of the season, fair enough, but I'd definitely not be signing him permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Seemed to lack any sense of urgency last night and has been in 6/10 territory for the last few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 All in all he's a solid player- Pretty sound defensively but offers little going forward. An average type of player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben-nufc Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 like harewood i would have him until the end of the season but then when/if promoted no Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Solid, unspectacular full-backs on the cheap aren't easy to come by. We need to be building a squad, he's definitely worth keeping till the end of the season and maybe as backup in the future. Don't forget he's quite young aswell, there's time for him to improve.

TRon Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I am starting to lean against this going through now. The better football teams all play from the back and Simpson offers very little going forward. When you think what Enrique brings to the side we are missing out a lot down the other flank. I don't want to be playing this brand of football in the premier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Simpson's attacking weaknesses are only so evident because there's no natural flair in front of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I'd rather have an Arbeloa than a Glen Johnson. First and foremost they have to be able to defend, if they can do both then great, there aren't too many of those about though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and foremost they have to be able to defend, if they can do both then great, there aren't too many of those about though. Nail on the head. When we have a bit of stability I'm more than happy, but we haven't exactly been fantastic scorers this season, our position at the top is thanks to a tight defence just as much as it is the finishing of Nolan and Ameobi. I don't see why we should change this method should we gain promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 OMG I find myself agreeing with Nixon. Our defence has been more or less spot on when it has been Simpson, Colo, Taylor, Enrique. I thought a defender's job primarily was to defend? While the lad may not get himself as forward as Enrique does he is still young and relatively inexperienced at professional level and has the potential to become a decent player.

madras Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 he falls into the "do we improve for now to get promoted" or "shouldn't we be looking for better with the possibility of being in the prem next year" as he's not a good enough defender to make up for his lack of goingforwardness (applying for a copyright on that) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
