We dropped two points today because of how inept we were at making decisions moving forward. We’ve chopped and changed due to injuries and Covid which is out of our control. To change Balogun who was arguably our best player on Thursday for Simpson is strange as fuck. We were all over the place at the back as it keeps changing. Gerrard did this in his first season with Worrall it cost us, it’s cost us again. chris182 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. It looked bad in real time, but just watched it again too and its even worse, it was awful from both.

I'd actually prefer Mugabe from them than Simpson, I like a powerful CB who will run through a brick wall like Andrews used to do, Simpson wouldn't get a game for Chelsea's women's team. Agreed.

It cost us that goal, but the way the game was going if it wasn’t that it was going to be something else. It can work both ways tbh. If it finishes 0-0 for instance and we haven't taken our chances then the defence have done their job, and maybe the strikers haven't. The finishing and intensity in 2nd half should have been better today and if we'd went 2 nil up it would have pretty much been game over. Mistakes/complacency by two of our defenders contributed to us not getting 3 points on this occasion though. We had 1 nil leads last season where we didn't take our chances up front to get more goals, but the defence was more solid so it wasn't as much of a problem.

The Specky Forum Organiser 63,954 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 He is terrible. Can tell he is a bag of nerves which doesn't help. For a 'ball playing' defender he is hopeless in possession. Bassey should be 3rd choice and King/Mclleland should be ahead of him. ayrshireranger, Leftpegcoopz11, chris182 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between him and Helander is night and day. Even when a fwd drags Helander out to the wing he 9 times out of ten wins the ball, or gets there first. Simpson, doesn't get there first, doesn't win the ball, gets into a fankled mess then gets turned by the forward. The rest of the time he isn't tight enough and is in no man's land. He won't get better. ayrshireranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't get better. Actually noticed this a few times with him, he just follows his man out to the wing like a lost child, forever behind him as well, if he learned to position himself better he has the pace to make up ground. Helander has the experience and knowledge of the game to know he won't win most foot races but can position himself to effictively cut the space off, Simpson has neither. ayrshireranger and Leftpegcoopz11 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdave30 8,671 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Their goal is at 2.55, Simpson sidesteps across like his laces are tied together, you’d get your arse booted for defending like that for your local pub or school.
