    Good. For the last 3 years all of our keepers have appeared to get progressively worse the longer they've been here.


    Brad Collins, player of the season in the first season Fawdry was here

    What a load of Bolllox lol, Clarke has fetched his old mate/coach in, presumably because our present coach has gone, but how you come to the opinion that the outgoing coach is crap is beyond me, Brad Collins is still a good goalie.....are you a professor on goalies nar lol

    Brad Collins in my opinion went massively downhill in Fawdrys seconds season
    Isted was far better when he first signed than he was towards the end
    Roberts went from amazing to abysmal over the course of the season

    It may well be a coincidence but in my opinion it's a good thing for the goalkeeper coach who oversaw that to leave and allow the current manager to bring in his own guy.

    Presumably he's qualified to play in goal.

    Sensible and understandable that Clarke would want someone he knows and trusts on the coaching staff.

    I'm more surprised Jon Stead is still here out of all the coaching staff, however he looked to be the one leading the training session on the video the club shared.

    Nowt wrong with wanting to make a fist of things. Some horrible things were said about him last back end to do with Pay-Offs etc. Maybe he wants to show his worth?

    No nothing against him, thought he was brought in by Collins so may have also left. Ultimately the training regime will be directed by Clarke and delivered by his staff, unless Clarke likes to get really involved.

    Might be wrong first impression but I think Clarke is blood and thunder backed by coaches. He looks a bloke that commands respect and his happy to let his coaches do their job.

    Was interested to read he changed formations regularly and has a few plans.

    Defo hope that presence and positivity flows into the team from him. Could be best signing of the season, even if it ends up being a 1 year deal pre Luton. :eek:

    No I've got a good feeling about this guy. I rarely get good feelings about new managers. I think last good gut feeling I had was Dave Bassett lol.
