sunshine185 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 when robbie arrived from huddersfield, most people agreed he was a class apart from anything we had, a player good enough for the championship. Everyone wanted him signed up asap. Now, after a few months of dickov`s managerial skills he is a shell of the player we first signed, falls too easily, always arguing with the ref etc. played on the wing, in midfield, up-top as a striker, when we all know his role is "in the hole". It really doesn`t matter who we sign as once PD instills his way of playing on them, they will just end up mediocre. Take wabara, was a superb attacking full-back when we signed him, if we sign baxter on a 2 year deal, this time next year who is to say he won`t be another robbie simpson, he would probably end up as another defensive midfielder. SC needs to act now before its too late, give the new manager time to stamp his authority on the players. If we lose to bournemouth, donny and hartlepool and donny in the cup people will say we should heve got rid earlier. enough is enough now, PD has had more than enough time and we are going nowhere fast, apart from division 2 that is.

oafc joe Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Simpsons regained his form that he first showed recently has he not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 So basically this thread isn't about Simpson, it's just another tiresome Dickov out one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine185 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 tiresome? it`s getting damn tiresome spending over £50 in travel and matchday expenses to sit at BP expecting us to play crap and lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 If it was all kept in a couple of the same threads it would be easy for those who can't be arsed reading the same stuff over and over again the bother. If you want to vent then vent, but at least say the thread's about the gaffer rather than Robbie Simpson, when in reality the thread is actually about wanting the manager sacked.

GlossopLatic Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Simpson was played in the hole at the start of the season where he wanted to be and played :censored:. But that was all Dickov fault no doubt and it won't be because of the player himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I didn't realise we all agreed he was a class apart when he first signed : I certainly didn't! That said, he provided me with the greatest moment of my life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine185 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ok let's forget about PD for the moment, what is it about playing for latics that makes players play below the their standard? We have some very good players ATM , Simpson included, but they just can't perform to a certain level. I know we have some inexperience in our team but surely the likes of Baxter,Derbyshire,Furman,byrne,simmo,wabara,croft etc have enough skill in them to at least feet us playing some decent footie.

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 lack of squad depth? There isn't really any competition for any places, I can guess the starting line up most weeks and I only go every so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Simpson's best position is in the hole. As is Baxter's . Baxter is preferred there at the moment. Doesn't make Simpson a bad player probably just tells you Baxter is ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is, of he was that good, he would have been playing for Hudds in the championship now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Don't think he's been played in his right position all season, management have tried to turn him into a big, bruising target man to win free kicks and corners. What we've got at the moment is a lad who looks frustrated with what he's being asked to do, resulting in him spending most of the game either on his backside or arguing with officials.

oafcprozac Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 When Baxter leaves put him back in his preferred role, just behind the front man if we're not going to do that he might as well move on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
