Ben Killip sat in Barnsley hospital with his nose packed...obviously a nose injury. Maybe hit in face with a ball or maybe been hit...both nostrils packed with tissue.
Rumour has it Clarke got them in for extra training the ball was shot at goal went through his fingers and saved it with his face/nose.
Obviously I'm saying this in jest, I hope he's OK and wish him no ill will, but I wish he'd got his face to one or two of Orient's efforts on Saturday.
Yes it was just abit of a joke on my part too I hope he's okay. Joking aside though Saturday was probably the worst home goalkeeping display ever at oakwell. 1st 2nd and 4th was all shocking goalkeeping.
Just so we're clear, do we hound out Smith after a few mistakes like we've done with Slonina and Killip?
I can't speak for others, but I certainly wouldn't 'hound out' Killip. But after a display as poor as the one the other day and the very clear knock his confidence took, I'd certainly replace him on the field for the next game.
I think that gives the opposite message though. If I'm Clarke, I speak with Killip to say that he's been doing well this season and that everyone can have a bad game. Obviously he had a shocker and he'll know that. But I calm him down, tell him I believe in him, and keep him in the side. Taking him out would ruin his confidence - in my opinion.
