Missing Simpkin

[saint1974]

Big time, back line looks totally unbalanced without him there.

[Ross who?]

Yep, I agree. Fisher and Gwilt look a long way off it tonight. Very rusty. Should of been Gwilt out instead of Simpkin , in hindsight of course.

[Old Mate]

Strange decision leaving him out

he's played on monsters and been beaten on a few occasions but won most contests

Opportunity to play as a medium on the crows third tall and is dropped

Dropped with Clarke and gwilt preferred

Surely this thread is not serious.

Simpkin's been ok but he wouldn't have made the slightest difference tonight.

[gringo]

Probably more Zach would have been handy for the punch from behind on their talls.

This is unbelievable. Simpkin is good, but you are calling for the heads of Fisher Raph and Gwilt???

All of them were good, Fisher utterly superb in the last and Raph solid and clean all night.

[noob]

I thought Gwilt was very very slow.

[saintsRrising]

Midfield was our problem tonight...and specifically our use of the ball.

A true full back would have been handy on their tall forwards...but Simpkin is not that. He is a third tall defender.

Of the players out of the 22...Saad and Stanley where the two we missed.

[Con Gorozidis]

Of the players out of the 22...Saad and Stanley where the two we missed.

i agree with that. we lacked leg speed .

[Teflon]

Simpkins closing speed/spoiing ability was missed tonight

Saads fwd pressure a huge loss.....there was 2 goals right therefor mine......

Simpkin for Clarke
