The ceremonial sacking ham this Christmas? I like the guy but out of the Cup and can't buy a win at home. The football hasn't been bad last few weeks either. It's a real shame. Could he be the next Lee Johnson? (I'd like to think he is). Come on Clarkey we're counting on you.
If he does have what it takes he’s had long enough to assess the situation now so let’s give him a few weeks beyond the next transfer window at least.
Hopefully he can move a few players on in January and bring in a couple of quality loans or permanents, he certainly needs to be given the opportunity in my opinion.
Needs a proper centre back, composed midfielder and proper centre forward. Perhaps a couple of decent wide men too. Probably only get his two front teeth though.
I'd like Pines to have a run of games, I think he'd be solid with Roberts and cause chaos on our corners, other than that a bit more quality on our crosses, far too many hit the first man or sail over everyone.
Poor recruitment. Losing Cole and McAtee going back from his loan then hoping the likes of Watters Cosgrove Marsh and Keillor-Dunn will get the goals they did. Keeping the likes of Benson and Wolfe and totally overloading central midfield. Hoping 1 young inexperienced left wing back can replicate Cadden whilst having no additional cover. You reap what you.sow.
I genuinely think the last four matches have been an extended anomaly. Chances have been created. The finishing hasn't all been awful. Hitting the post, hitting the bar, goalkeepers having blinders, efforts going narrowly wide, clearances off the line... Make no mistake the finishing could have been better and some instances were downright awful. But it hasn't been as bad as the returns show.
I’d be more inclined to sack Stormaz, if someone has to get the boot. No point sacking Clarke. Let’s get into next season with him at the helm, a bit of continuity on the field would do us the world of good for a change. I know it’s not great at the minute, but he’s only just got started, with players from previous regimes. He needs longer to put his own stamp on things.
Sack him .... nah. He doesn't coach them to miss sitters. And if we concede we only need to score one more than the opposition. Easy really.
