My view

Nothing to do with Clarke at all

Total lack of investment and therefore quality

apart from his dubious hat collection I can’t fault him

 

I like him me. Doing the best he can with the tools at his disposal. Occasionally makes a baffling decision, but then what manager hasn't for us over the years. I mean, he hasn't tried to play DKD as a sweeper like Davey did with Campbell-Ryce.

 

I’d be sticking by him but with Stockport and Huddersfield coming up, he may find himself under pressure.

 

Agree.

I think with the right backing & players at his disposal he would do well for us. But as usual the board are shafting him.

 

Said it myself, look at the players we lost in the summer

Cole- got dogs abuse from reds fans really embarrassing but would walk in this side. Better finisher than anyone we have better at holding the ball up and bringing others into play

J Williams I like o keffe but j Williams could even get in this side as a center half he can run head and pass the ball so more than some

Cadden would easily get in at wing back

Kane not sure but some midfielders haven't been pulling there weight this season.

Roberts I know a loanee keeper but again we swap every year and brought in Gaga who was a calamity.

So all in all we have weakened the squad and expectations are still the same madness.

 

That might do him a favour. Freebies. Chance to blood some possible new signings.

 

To be fair I do like him

 

No room for sentiment in football

 

I was talking to a Walsall fan on the train this morning and he asked me what I thought of Clarke, he liked him when he was there. I didn't really know what to say...

 

It would be a disaster to sack Clarke regardless of Stockport and Huddersfield results. We've got to establish some stability on and off the field. We can't keep starting a new season with a Manager that didn't start the last one.

 

Yeah and that means they are shafting us as well, the fans. Which is not very nice!!.

 

7/10 doing an excellent job, really got the boys trying and his tactical awareness and ability to motivate is second to none. Why would we sack him? A draw at home against Burton is an outstanding result, ok, we probably have better players then them, but that’s not Clarkes fault if they can’t beat them.

 

Not in favour of sacking him and have repeatedly said he doesn't appear to be running the team. He now needs a free hand and backing from the board. we've dropped to 10th and ye it's only one win to be back in play off's but with Huddersfield and Stockport to come it's looking very nervous.

 

Agree we need stability mate, but not just for sake of it. End of season review needed.

 

What did Clarke say in his first interview, I want my players running through brick walls for him. I looks more like the players are running through treacle

 

Yeah but why is this, coming so soon after 4 straight wins.
They looked like it meant everything to them, to hang on and beat Wrexham, exactly a month ago.
So what's changed, and let's not use the snowed off weekend as an excuse.

 

Can't really argue with that but I do think he cares and is not getting too much help from his data analyst director of football.

 

We should show Clarke the same loyalty he has shown to killip as soon as we signed a new GK... twice

 

I’ve seen some good football under Clarke and some awful finishing. How is changing the coach going to make a difference? Cole would have had twenty goals by now.

 

Exactly, but Im afraid we can't sack the whole set of under performing players.
So the manager/coach always gets the chop!.
