Simpson

[left winger 14,152]

We’re going to get some signings wrong, but surely Gerrard et al knew he wasn’t good enough to be our 4th choice CD in the summer, when we could have done something about it?

Gerrard been rotating CB's since he came in. He's not going to change that approach.

Agree but haven't seen anything in Simpson to justify why he's getting game time. He doesn't look cut out for us at all. 

Not a fan of constant CH rotation at all.

Gerrard loves him, there’s f all we can do about it, he’ll cost us more goals as the season goes on

Would rather play Bart than Jack.

I had my Duff Beer socks on today. Also went to a meeting at half time. 

So I feel partly responsible for today's dropped 2 points. 

Seems we have Homer playing at CH.

Is their many teams going for a title that change cb partnerships as much as we do

[Smile 26,600]

Balogun should have played Simpsons never impressed me.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Seems there is a growing feeling in our support that we should simultaneously have five first-team CBs but only ever play two of them.

Should have kept Katic and loaned out Simpson.

Should have kept Katic and binned Simpson.

And we let Katic out on loan.  If the management are rotating the CH then Katic should still be here and loaned Simpson.

Simpson was unfortunately never getting loaned out as we only signed him in January.

Teams buy and loan out players quite a lot mate.  Tbh loaning this guy out isn't going to help him or us, he's piss poor.

I would say four is what we should have, but the back up should have more quality than Simpson. 

I didn't see our game on Thursday night as was working, but heard Balogun played quite well, though I could be wrong. Why drop him if that's the case?

I assume he’s trying to rotate the CBs to reduce chance of injury, and Simpson can’t play in Europe so he’s flung him in today.

Yeah I agree that does happen mate. Just think sometimes Gerrard can be a wee bit stubborn however. So didn't see it happening myself.

He could have played Balogun today and played Simpson on Wednesday v Livi.

As it turns out he’s made a cunt of it and we’ve dropped 2 points.

I hate that philosophy. CB's should always be the mainstay of any team, and should only be rotated due to injury or a major drop in form. 

All this chopping n changing doesn't help form or cohesion at the back.

I wouldn't even play Simpson in the Livi game, whether he had played today or not.

4 and a half year contract as well 😂

An absolute disgrace honestly 

Makes the scum defenders look like a wall 

[Zappa6995 3,645]

The manager unsurprisingly said he played well today 😩

Most important partnership on the pitch, and we change it every bloody game.

Thought he was dreadful from start to finish today, can’t think of a single positive from his performance today.

We didn’t drop two points today because of Jack Simpson. We dropped two points today because of how inept we were at making decisions moving forward.

[Leftpegcoopz11 4,730]

Just seen their goal again on Sportscene. Why does Simpson not even attempt to put a tackle in, and at least giveaway the free kick. Runs towards him like a big Jessy!

Less said about Barisic the better.
