Seeing as this now might be the CB pairing of choice for December, it would be nice for the crowd to be a bit more supportive in the next home game. No one was happy to see Ake coming off, and it’s a tricky situation to manage, trying to sort the shape out against a team like Liverpool with two young defenders getting into the game. We should see how they fare with some actual training and preparation for the next game.
Especially where Simpson is concerned; personally I rate him about the same as Mepham, and other than that pass out from the back I actually thought he had a decent game, considering it’s, you know, arguably the best team in the world he’s defending against?? Plus he’s an academy graduate as well; do we not want to see him do well?
I’ve seen a lot of talk on “anyone but Simpson” and “try Billing in defence because he’s tall”, personally I’d much rather have a balanced defence of Simpson and Mepham playing on their natural sides than just trying out the tall bloke at the back!
