Swiper Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Simpson loves a hug doesn't he. Always the first man to celebrate with whoever scores. I've been noticing this for the last few months. Personal problems aside, he seems like a really good team spirit, locker room guy on top of the good performances he's been putting in. I think I can count on one hand the goals scored since he began starting where he wasn't the first or second guy celebrating with the goalscorer.
foxaholic Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 I get your point but were 5 points ahead of Spurs and top of the league, so I'd rather stick with the Leicester city tactics at the moment thanks They cant beat us when we are at full strength the proof of the pudding is in the eating
Socks Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 yes since we dropped de laet and brought in Simpson we have been a lot lot stronger in defence also (in my eyes) he has been a rock in our last 3 games I am one for giving ppl second chances and he deserves a medal. Great season Danny
Benguin Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 We have become the team that turns unknowns or rejects into world beaters! .......... and wife beaters

dylanlegend Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Defensively he's been fantastic. He also seems to be good mates with Vardy as well which is a plus (keep Vards happy)
glenelgfox Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Considering most matches he has little defensive cover from Mahrez he has done well. Lacks any real attacking intent, overlap FB play but he is getting better in that area.
foxes21 Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 I'm so glad we don't have over lapping full backs, like Everton for example. We'd still be leaking 2 goals a game like at the start of the season.

We'd still be leaking 2 goals a game like at the start of the season. At first I missed the goals... But now we are scoring as many... I love it when I see the opposition with both full backs attacking... We just know itll be a matter of time before N'Golo- Mahrez- Vaaaarrrrddddyyyyy
NewburyFox Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Considering most matches he has little defensive cover from Mahrez he has done well. Lacks any real attacking intent, overlap FB play but he is getting better in that area. Although he's not great going forward regardless, I think its a tactical thing that he contributes so little going forward. Its the same with Fuchs on the other side - both sit back and maintain the shape which allows the front players to do the damage.
foxes21 Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 In the summer, I hope we sign an experienced right back not to replace Simpson, but someone in the same ilk as Fuchs. Someone that would improve our squad strength, a great professional and would be willing to help improve Danny's game even more!
Shinji-San Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 One shocking backpass aside I think he has played very well lately
Riot Van Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 doing a solid job does nothing going forward though but it doesn't really matter need to get a better RB in the summer though
Guest Col city fan Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Like everyone, Simpson hasn't suddenly become a world class player.. He's simply benefitted from playing in a team with better players than last season, full of confidence and where the team ethos is second to none. Last season he was pretty crap. This season, completely the opposite.

Well, here's a shortlist of potential Bosmans: http://sofifa.com/players/?type=all&pn%5B0%5D=3&pn%5B1%5D=2&cvh=2016&col=oa&sort=desc
fox_favourite Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 I have my doubts about Simpson. He's not really Prem quality. What really annoys me (as a defender) that when a winger comes at him he backs off, backs off and invites the winger into the box. He needs to stand his ground making it harder for them to get round Fuchs doesn't do it, but every game he does it. I'm not bothered that he doesn't go forward enough, and yes, he does seem to be exposed with Mahrez. But he does worry me and maybe a weak link in our side. Saying all this he is in a team that heasnt conceded many recently, but I'm never comfortable when he's one-on-one, unlike Fuchs.
SpinneyHillRanger Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 Was on MOTD2 Extra... spoke a bit about defensive shape with martin keown
tickler28 Posted 8 February 2016 Posted 8 February 2016 If Swansea are relegated get Kyle Naughton back
TJB-fox Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 If Swansea are relegated get Kyle Naughton backWhy on earth at this very minute are you thinking about replacing Simpson, especially with Kyle Naughton. Simpson has been so consistent for us and solid, and more importantly part of a back 5 that keeps clean sheets.As for Naughton, he was the dogs bollocks in that season we had him but clearly not amounted to much in the premiership. If we were looking to replace DS we should be looking at better than Naughton
dbtcity Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 I'd be surprised if we brought in a replacement for Simpson in the summer I'd imagine it will be a young up and coming rb who has a lot of potential ie pereira from sampdoria, he really has been solid since replacing rdl
FireFox Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 Stupid today. 2nd yellow was always a yellow.
KFS Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 Big miss going into Norwich. Hope Amartey can do a job
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 Feel for him getting sent off today after a second yellow. He's been superb since he's come into the side at RB.
Thracian Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 Our defence has improved with Simpson's inclusion but that's probably blinded us into thinking we're as good as we can be when we're not. In fact we're missing a whole dimension but I won't labour the point because what we've already achieved has been way beyond even the most optimistic imagination. If I said our wonderful team can be improved 20-40% fairly quicky and easily, I can only imagine you laughing. But it's what I believe.
