    At Oakwell specifically:

    Vs Northampton - went 2 up, drew 2-2
    Vs Stockport- went 1 up, drew 1-1
    Vs Charlton - went 1 up, drew 2-2
    Vs Reading - went 1 up, drew 2-2
    Vs Birmingham - went 1 up, lost 2-1
    Vs Hudders - went 1 up, lost 2-1

    6 games where we've taken the lead and not won. 14 points dropped from winning positions at home, in the third tier. For good measure, there was the tinpot cup game Vs Man U's kids where we were 2 up after 80 mins and lost as well. Wrexham we were extremely fortunate to hang on after sitting back the whole second half.

    That utter lack of being able to manage a game is another reason Clarke can go for me.

    That's a sad set of stats.

    His game management is what does it for me. Just chops and changes and his subs defy logic sometimes.

    There’s been games where he randomly throws in a player e.g. Yoganathon - where we weren’t injury stricken. Then we never see him again.

    I can’t decide if his subs are a two fingered salute to the Board, or whether he just hasn't got a clue.

    Think he’s up there with Schopp Asbaghi and Steve Parkin as least inspiring managers

    I don't think I can remember a single occasion where he has changed us in game for the better, can guarantee next week we play the same shape, take the same set pieces, defend the same set pieces and wonder why we've just lost
