Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin - 21/22 SBM - 23/24 CoCapt

[hotchilli]

That’s more like the Jy I remember.

 

[Devington]

Captain's Game.

Perfect summary. So happy for him and us.

 

[The Nostradamus]

huge game

He’s back

 

[The acurate one]

Get in here **** wits, you know who you are.
Seriously, I'm going to find your posts and shove them up your arse.
I know who you are and tbh, you think you know football but ya have NFI.

A champ of the finest quality is our Simpkin.

Love him.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Blind Freddy could tell he was completely off from one of the biggest hits the game has seen in years. He needed a break, and tbh the club needed to give him weeks off considerably earlier.

He hasn’t looked like that one bit this year but that’s the true Simpkin. Unreal game.

 

[cachepotpro]

Hopefully, his time off due to injury will be enough for him to hit the reset button and break out of this slump.

At 26 he should be playing his best footy, which even last year was at times brilliant.

certified crystal ball moment.

he's back.

 

[koshari]

Huge clutch late

 

[tricknologist]

I've been critical of him but he looked like the Jy of old today. What an immense performance, especially with his leadership at the death.

 

[Val Keating]

Club seems pretty quiet about Jye.

Would love an update.

Update- He’s a legend

 

[ferball]

He set the tone early and its why our midfield dominated for three and a third quarters. Then when they'd all stopped he got us over the line.

If he can use this as the start of the next phase of his career then he will be a great North Captain.

 

[The acurate one]

Fancy some suggesting he isn't best 22.

Crikey!

 

[giantroo]

 

[guapo]

So happy for him. Sensational game and lifted the whole side with his intent from the outset. Two goals in the last was perfect reward

 

[Jesslc]

Was very good in our final game last year and looked primed for a strong season before his concussion. I think that played a massive part in this

Retweet

[bhoysdontcry67]

Captain.

Missed this type of game from him for a long time, thank god he’s back.

Pressure was manic and set the tone. Goals HUGE

 

[Reagan Smash]

Got his groove back today

 

[Themanbun]

Is a midfielder, and arguably our most important one. Leave him there and let him rip. So, so happy for Jyza.

 

[The acurate one]

Print it off and stick where the sun don't shine.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

For all the doubting Thomas’: suck on that!

What a Captain’s game.

 

[Ichiro #51]

Fancy some suggesting he isn't best 22.

Crikey!

There’s one bloke who likes to talk smack who reckoned “we should delist him immediately and pay out his contract”. Username is something like **** head.

 

[shinboner magic]

That’s the Jy we all know - **** he lifted us off the canvas.

You can tell all the guys love him.

 

[ChairmanZia]

Back in form, that's why he's da captain.

Heart and soul of the team.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Great to see him back. No doubt he's struggled this season before today, but it's hard to take all the bullshit that has been posted about his ability and commitment.

 

[The acurate one]

Apparently he can't kick
