Roofe was awful yesterday.  No way Defoe wouldn't have scored, we had numerous chances. 

It's all ifs and buts. With the chances we created in the 1st half, I think Defoe would have taken one of them. 2nd half service to the fwds not so sure.

If that was King or McClelland playing like he does you’d understand as they would be learning on the job, so to speak.

Simpson will be 25 in December.

He's been presented with a great opportunity and so far he's not even hit the level where you'd be comfortable with him as a back up. Worst part is he just looked scared at times.

He wont improve. He has nothing in his armoury that suggests he will. 

Katic isn't better than Helander or Goldson. He may be as good as Balogun, but he is streets ahead of Simpson.

Isn't producing the goods and isn't even getting the basics right. Has the look of someone who thinks he can come here and stroll it because scottish football is shit. Needs to seriously up his game.

Opposition would be daft not to target the fuck out of him when he inevitably plays in the near future.

I don't get that at all. This seems a lazy stereotype that's applied to anyone who comes up here from England and struggles. Typical chip on the shoulder Scottish mentality.

Deffo appeared to be the case with Joey Barton but its been getting trotted out with Lundstram after a couple of games and now Simpson. 

Nothing about him suggests confidence, never mind OVERconfidence...

When I see someone being lackadaisical at the back and not getting stuck in as much as they could that makes me think they are complacent about the job in hand. I could be wrong but it's just how I see it. 

Lack of consistent game time is probably a factor but in the games he has played there's too many errors and bad decisions made by him on the park

I don’t think he is complacent he is just not very good. Watch the Motherwell goal back again and Simpson pulls out of tackle,even flattening the guy would have been better than doing nothing.

Hasn’t looked very good at any point since he signed.

Yesterday twice he got done - Punt up the park early in the 1st half when he ended up the wrong side as the ball flew over his head and only Goldson getting back as Watt rounded McGregor spared us and secondly he was pathetic at the goal - Worst case he should have wiped the guy out just outside the box and taken the risk of the red card - He did nothing except shrink and let the guy through, From my view in the Broomloan I couldn’t believe Barisic never got a block in either.

Simpson is our worst CB and if we can recall Katic we should and rotate him with Balogun until Helander is fit

Would genuinely be better off having Tav there

Just sell him the first chance we get.

the recruitment from January has to be questioned, only wright has offered anything near the quality needed but at that is only a prospect himself.

I think we put all of our cards on the table last Summer when we signed Hagi, Roofe and Itten despite us already being what, 15-17 million, in debt?

We have unquestionably been rooting in the bargain bin ever since and the result of that is us looking like quite a tired team that, in hindsight, desperately needed freshened up with a couple of new signings this Summer, even if that meant cashing in and letting one or two of our higher profile players move first.

Was it not quite common at one point for CB's to be gradually broken in by playing the fullback position, maybe that's been Gerrard's master plan all along.

He was about 15 yards away from Goldson as well. If he closes that space even a little he's perfectly in place to make that tackle. 

Never going to cut it. Hopeless.
