Dokko Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I doubt Simpson is the fastest at the club, but would put money on him being our fastest defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 We looked more solid at the back because of Colo, not because of Simpson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 We looked more solid at the back because of Colo, not because of Simpson. I think this too, but you have also remember than Saylor and Debuch haven't really had the best communications defensively. But for me it should be a no brainer to start Debuchy against QPR, if we win I wouldn't mind playing Simpson maybe against Arsenal if we want to be defensive to not concede too many. We have to give it a go at QPR and attack them, Benny & Debuch offensively seems magical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If Mapou's playing, then we could actually afford to have Debuchy providing his more wing-back style as (hopefully) common sense would say the entire back line sort of shifts a bit to handle for Debuchy being further up the pitch with Saylor moving more to cover for MD, Colo shifts more to the right and Mapou shifts as well. But honestly, Simpson looked good - I think MD would be fine to just curtail some of his forward runs as much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The amount of joy West Ham got down Simpson's side was unbelievable, they got cross after cross in from their left. Debuchy will take his spot back and rightly so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Dread to think of the situation if we were to go 1-0 up.......................and then see Pardew calling the players to retreat to defend that lead for the rest of the matc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Actually not bothered either way of who starts out of Simpson and Debuch, Debuchy has been gradually improving but Simpson has been solid when called upon this season, much of a muchness.

Dr Venkman Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I think Debuchy is overall a far better player than Simpson but as things stand we seem to defend much better as a unit with Simpson there so I wouldn't be too disappointed if he keeps his place. Last 5 league games with Simpson in the side. West Ham : 0-0 Fulham : 1-0 Man City : 0-4 Arsenal : 3-7 Man Utd : 3-4 Amazing what two games and a dozen games out can do for a reputation. Said it ages ago, people don't mind him when he doesn't play very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm so pessimistic about this game, i just worry so much about what Pardew will say and how he will get the team to approach it. I've got to the point where i think the only way for us to win it, is for the team to play their own game and win it despite him not because of him. No manager should ever make a fan feel that way.

Could someone not hack his email account and send abusive emails to someone/anyone and get him banned to the stands for a couple of weeks. Just imagine.....no half-time Pardew team talks!

Guest bimpy474 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Bimpy, put the razor blades away, man. Jesus. Got a point haven't i though, how defeatist sounding is he. He talks up losing before we play, well the excuses that no longer wash. That must filter through into the team and the way we have played i think it almost certainly has. I hate the fucker, he really is useless and i can't stand to see that man in our dugout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
