alex_balls Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Slightly O/T but just been reading their fishal and Clarkes spouting on about what a top lad Clarke is and how he's been giving him information on our lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the poor attempt at mind games get to you. They will know exactly how we play anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betsvigi9 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Its only 3 posts at the bottom of that, but it clearly shows they just don't rate him. So that's Clark who doesn't rate him & their fans too. He comes here & has been a revelation. It's amazing what good management, playing a run of games & feeling wanted, valued and full of confiedence can do isn't it? I'm actually gutted we couldn't push through the deal sooner, so he was eligable to play against them. In the form he's shown for us, I think he would have surprised that horrible lot from over t'hills, sure he would have had a stormer. Ah well - we'll just have win it for him eh? then let him on the pitch a full-time to gloat!! Town fan here. I'm a season ticket holder but to he honest, I have hardly seen Simpson play and I really don't have an opinion about whether he is any good or not. The first season he was with us, he had a thigh injury and he was just never fit. He only played a handful of games and not because he wasn't picked, but because he was never available. Clark lost patience I think and he was loaned out to Brentford for the season last year and he missed a fair bit of last season injured as well. I think the overwhelming view of most Town fans is not that he is a bad player, but that he is a sick note. Good luck to him, I hope he does well for you and remains fit. We were never going to agree to him playing against us tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laticdickovarmy Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 He is a championship player imo playing for a league 1 side, even v liverpool he didnt look out of place and was one of our best preformers however he set-pieces werent as good as they usually are beacuse he is a top class deliver of a ball May the best team win tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, like you say, his performance was very good, much like the rest of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Oldham win whether they are the best or worst team. No offence SSH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Can't understand why he is only signing to the end of the season. Seems crazy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorelatic Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Can't understand why he is only signing to the end of the season. Seems crazy to me. He is keeping his options open - he has a good chance of winning something this year with us and putting himself in the shop window, win - win situation for him. He can probably get hinself a championship side in the summer or If we do manage to scrape into the play-offs and go up he can negotiate a new contract on better terms with us. He is in a good position either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Only signing tell the end of the season is very disappointing imo. We are halfway through January , little more than a loan extension in reality. The worst aspect of modern low level football for me is the continuous huge turnaround in players every summer , no chance of ever building a team with any kind of 3 or 5 year plan nowadays. I do understand though why this suits both players & management though at cash strapped clubs like us. We are now on 15 years in Division 3 , only 2 less than we spent in Division 2 in the 70's & 80's .....we don't move up & down much do we ?

PlayItLivo Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Not gonna complain. I wasn't convinced he'd be coming back to us once his loan expired, thought Huds might give him a chance or someone else would come in for him. So if he signs until the end of the season then I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 In tonight’s rarely-wrong Chron, Simpson says: “Huddersfield have offered terms to terminate my contract. I have made a couple of minor adjustments to that, given it back to Huddersfield and am waiting to hear back from them now.” Chron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made a couple of minor adjustments to that, given it back to Huddersfield and am waiting to hear back from them now.” Chron Seems fair enough. Probably angling for a win bonus from Saturday after all, if he HAD have been able to play for us, the result would've been different. By sitting on the sidelines, he probably did just as much as Rhodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the loan was only until the end of January, pending permanent deal. But I can't find anything on the fishal that confirms or otherwise.
