Simpson Graham Ball

Post by Lifelongfan »

3 experienced players RW wanted. Not up to much are they? Not as good as we thought?

Sounds like an 19th century inventor.

Too early to tell really isn’t it? I know it’s a tough time atm but let’s not jump on every player we have and label them useless

Simpson is fine as a L1 CB but nowhere near good enough to justify the reputational damage of signing a racist.

Graham I had suspicions was overrrated and since his injury is totally finished.

Ball too early to tell if he’s any good in midfield but 45 mins was enough to know that he’s a sh*t RB.

They’ve hardly played any games ! Cannot judge their value. Ball has looked good, Graham actually improved the game for us when he came on at Wycombe , if that’s possible and Simpson hasn’t played, but is a good defender

I agree with you about Simpson and Ball but maybe you’re too harsh on Graham . Remember, he is coming back from a lengthy injury and has no preseason behind him . Like Ball he is now playing catch up. We can only hope Jordan starts to improve and rediscover his form from last season.

None of them have played enough games to judge imho. I must say that Graham would give me the greatest concern of the three due to his horrible fitness record.

Graham put in at least one really good cross on Saturday at Wycombe, but of course we had no one in the middle to head the ball at the goal.
