I trust nathans judgement he has been right in the signings he made so far, he has seen something in Simpson that maybe hasn't materialized on the pitch yet. Hopefully he'll settle over here and with that his game will improve- he hasn't yet been able to string enough games/gametime together to prove himself did ok against Leeds as I remember And I doubt he cost much! The thing is the way hodgson, Jerry, Leroy, gilly and Bruno are playing when would he get a game?

Trouble is that we are making a judgement on a few games in an unsetteld team with a player who was having to cope with a whole new way of life, players, tactics and without all the supports he would have back home.


He deserves a second chance and we will see what he is like if he gets a run of games.

we'll see next year then as he is out for 3 months.

I've seen Simpson at matches watching the boys play!! He's also been handing out the shirts for the Birthday bonanza!!

Seen him at few games.
After a patchy start , at leeds he looked to have some real potential. Pity his njury means none of us can accurately assess him yet. Bet he is feeling more frustrated than us.

It just hasn't happened for him yet, whether it is just a bad signing and he isn't upto SL standard or a case of the him just not adjusting to his new life i dont know...but so far its looking like NB has actually got a signing wrong !

i hope he comes back a better player and cracks on as its always good to have more competition for places !!

We aint having threads knocking players anymore, the guy aint played a handful of games yet ffs.

They have a crap game then fair enough but i see no point in threads specifically aimed at individuals.

We'll revisit this after hes got a season or 20 odd games under his belt, then we can make a judgement, till then it serves no purpose to knock one of our own.

There are plenty of positives to dwell on for a change

Thread to stay for now.


Lee

What actually is his injury?

It's a shoulder problem. That's as much has been said I think.

Thursday June 9th

And Brown revealed Australian winger Jamie Simpson faces a further three months on the sidelines as a shoulder injury will require surgery and he is pencilled in for an operation on Monday.

Jamie is a top bloke!

spoke with him a few weeks back and yes he's frustrated with the lack of games he has been fit to play in, his Mrs is over here now and is a little more setteled. On a personal note away from the Game, Jamie is without a doubt a true Giant he is doing so much in his own time for supporters he really does need a thankyou from us. I really hope he does get over his injury and comes back fit and ready for action.

I agree with Yully. Give him a chance, though we have some excellent local backs!

Lock it Lee its pathetic

lets give him our best wishes and hope he gets the chance to come back and prove all the doubters wrong.
Lets judge whe is over his injury problems has a full pre season under his belt and is given a run in a settled team
