Elliottman Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Surely back for the two home games? Should make a big difference along with Gayle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scar should be well healed by now, it will just be a case of testing it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 If I was a defender I would be livid about playing behind Shelvey and Colback. May as well just have a huge gap in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 He's so important for us. not just the fact that Colback is his replacement, he's a really good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 If I was a defender I would be livid about playing behind Shelvey and Colback. May as well just have a huge gap in the middle. People were moaning about the odd misplaced pass. Some don't seem to realise what a difference it makes to a team's defenders and attackers it can make having someone with some power and athleticism in the midfield.

Dokko Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Signing of the season. Not as much impact as others, but due to his cost that's where he is for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Signing of the season. Not as much impact as others, but due to his cost that's where he is for me. Yeah - agree with this. Think he's been a bigger miss than Shelvey was when suspended tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Clark is the signing of the season, by far (imo). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Clark is the signing of the season, by far (imo). Yup. Considering how 'meh' it was when we brought him in he's been the exact opposite of what we thought and what we were told he was going to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Clark has been better than expected. You could argue Gayle with his goal return. Ritchie has been a good buy also. Theres probably 4 to 5 that are relatively consistant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Clark has been so consistent throughout the whole season more or less. Never had a bad run of games like all the others have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Clark has been so consistent throughout the whole season more or less. Never had a bad run of games like all the others have. If all a defender has to be measured on is not making many mistakes then yes he's done well, but players like Shelvey, Gayle and Ritchie have won us the points that have seen us top the table. God without Shelvey we'd be probably be mid-table, with nothing at all in the middle. It's harder to do it up the other end of the pitch imo. A defender has to be pretty imperious and have a lot more about him to be considered a MOTM let alone POTS. Taking to the extreme, but Ramos for me is a team-defining centre-back and shines alongside Bale and Ronaldo, for different but equally important reasons imo. The fact that Elliott got POTS last year says it all about the entire squad last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think Hayden has been a bigger miss than Clark would be, if only because we don't have a replacement who can do anywhere near as an effective job. At least if Clark was out then you could draft in Hanley or Mbemba who are more than capable of doing a job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
