Backtracking quicker than he did on the pitch with relation to his original post. Anyway enough about an irrelevant ex-player, think it’s excellent work by both the club and Lewis to come to an agreement. Fantastic news. You're right it doesn't. He ought to be a politician. Does he assume that everyone is as dim as he is in coming out with that as an 'explanation' to appease? |

Clearly thinks it was a bad decision to sign on longer. Prick.

Danny Simpson knows all about bad decisions, like his one to listen the mockney manager who promised him a short term payment/contract extension without the authority to do so.

Luckily Town made a "good decision" to get rid of this greedy mercenary when he demanded extra salary to play beyond the end of the official season
Ta ta pal - enjoy the rest of your career us "Terriers" rated you bang average at best, as your legs had gone and you used to blow out your arse tracking back beyond 60 mins in any game

Backtracking quicker than he did on the pitch So he says his original decision is banter, therefore you assume he really thinks it’s a good decision? Then goes on to suggest he shouldn’t have tied himself down? Maybe Danny doesn’t understand how contracts work? Which I suppose he could be excused for… |

Can't stand the man, but to be fair we did go back on an agreement that the club ie Bromby had agreed with him. At the time I totally understood his anger. |

A goldfish has got better memories than some on here.
Danny Simpson was a great signing for us, he played a significant part in a struggling Team that means we are still playing Championship football.
Yes he didn't (based on what we supposedly know) handle the end of his time here well.
But goodness gracious me, his contribution when he was was here is not in question.

He immediately stabilised us and though he had lost some pace, his positional sense was brilliant. |

*maybe* when he wrote 'bad' he meant bad as in 'good'.
Like, erm, 'sick' or whatever the youths say nowadays.
Or maybe he's just a bit stupid.

To be fair he was offered a contract by the Cowley's and then had it retracted/ reduced about 2 hours before he went on to play. I can see why we might not be his favourite team.
He was a so, so player, glad we didn't end up renewing his contract, although we probably did lack abit of his age and experience towards back end of last season.

First impressions are everything , as the saying goes! He was decent for his first few games, then he was bloody awful from then on! A liability. We conceded 18 goals in the 9 games of that season before he joined (2 per game). In the following 8, all of which he played in, we conceded 7 (0.9 per game). He was then out for a month when we conceded in every game including 5 vs West Brom. Came back and we kept a clean sheet away at Charlton. There's no other part of our defence which changed at that time, so I think it's fair to say his arrival gave us a huge change in fortunes and it's possible we'd have gone down that season without him. |

Like I say, he made a positive difference to start with. I remember thinking, he'll be a great signing. But it didn't last long. He soon looked like a player playing a few divisions above his level IMO. Always getting caught too high and unable to get back. Making mistake after mistake with the ball and easily outpaced by any winger with anything like pace. I think him getting injured and being replaced by Chalabah probably saved us from going down. Chalabah instantly looked 10 times better in the role, both going forward and defensively. |

Simpson played in 24 matches - 10 wins, 6 draws, 8 losses = 36 points. An average of 1.5 points per game. Over 46 games that would have seen us finish 8th on 69 points. In those games, we conceded 30 goals, an average of 1.25 per game.
In the other 22 matches we gained 15 points. An average of 0.68 points per game. Over 46 games that would have seen us finish bottom on 31 points. In those 22 matches, we conceded 40 goals, an average of 1.8 per game.
You could argue that the stats without him are skewed by the first 8 matches. If you discount those, we got 14 points in 14 matches without him. An average of 1 point per game. Over 46 games that would have seen us finish 23rd on 46 points. In those 14 matches, we conceded 23 goals, an average of 1.64 per game.
He might be a complete bell, but we were a significantly better team with him in it during that season. I was uncomfortable with his signing as we knew he was a cretin before he came to us. However, on a purely footballing level, he did a job and I was pretty worried when it was announced that he'd be missing for the final matches of that season. Thankfully we limped over the line.

Whether this is a good/bad decision for HTAFC or Lewis OBrien I think most people's view is "what has it got to do with Simpson. Particularly as he has obviously seen the contract that has been signed, wages, buy out clause etc otherwise he cannot possibly comment. What he has done (and I have now fallen into the trap) is make it all about Danny Simpson instead!

Been sidetracked into a discussion about a player Id largely forgotten was even here when this should be a totally positive thread now. The great news is Lewis has signed long term and will either be here for a good while yet or will earn the club a huge pay day if we do sell. It also sends a positive message to the other players that we will not just collect a quick buck the first time someone comes knocking for our better players and are serious about progressing. |

But, I held my breath when he pushed up because he wasn’t getting back! |

Simpson did well for us before his injury. He was just what we needed. Short memories! Struggled after his injury.
I’m not sure I’d be taking his advice on what is or what is not a bad decision mind…. & sure how anyone can comment on it being a good / bad decision unless they know the release clauses.

Simpson is entitled to his opinion. O brien and everyone else is entitled to ignore it?
His thought process on why he decided to give that opinion is moot as he does not play for us and it makes no difference to Town today.

Thought he was top drawer last night, the best he's played this season.
It makes a huge difference when he takes it past players in the middle of the park, it helped pull them out of position last night and got us in behind and running at their defence.

Thankfully we limped over the line. he was what we needed at the time after bad recruitment, I think before he signed our options at right back were Bockhorn, Bacuna and Duhaney iirc? Chalobah didn't play there til the tail end of the season. As someone else has said he was good til he got injured, but it's also probably linked to the signing of Toffolo who played very high up compared to our other left backs that season– which put more pressure on the other 3 defenders. Sign of the times we were in when he was our number 1 option, no chance he was able to play a 40 game season then and I'm surprised he's still at this level with Bristol. And has had a few opportunities to come across as a twat. |
