League 1 prediction table by Gabriel Sutton

lol

 

Still don't think we'll finish as low as 17th but the author was spot on with his thoughts on Clarke...

"...the appointment of Darrell Clarke makes little sense. The 46-year-old has spoken openly before about his preference to work with squads weighted in favour of experience"

"Clarke thrives more in high-stakes scenarios than in technical player development, and his decisive impatience, arguably his greatest strength, can also be a limitation when it comes to nurturing youth."

"It feels, however, as though the club have appointed Clarke for his respectable CV as a five-time promotion winner, but not so much with a clear view of how his skillset fits into their overall strategy."

"Ultimately, incompatibility between the board’s vision and the manager’s preferred way of working could make this a deeply underwhelming campaign in a strengthened league."

I still struggle to understand the reasoning - or lack of - behind his appointment.

 

Interestingly, MDG gets it 100% wrong again.

 

Who is he, and how dare he ehh lol, especially with a name like Gabriel!.

 

LOL

Not looking great so far!

 

Call it mid-summer madness. Was it very hot that day??

 

The clappers will always clap even when faced with the realities of the present situation.

 

Interestingly is the season at an end? Errrr no ! Football under Clarke is still far better than under Collins, at least we do try and attack. Transfer window didn't turn out fantastic by any means but top 6 is not out of reach until it's mathematically impossible.

 

You must take great pleasure when Barnsley FC aren't winning every week. I'm not a happy clapper by far and quite critical of many things about the club but you two must be so happy that we are dropping down the table at the moment.
